Preparing a manuscript

The journal's article types are original research articles, review articles, conceptual papers, case studies, policy analyses, research notes and book reviews. Read the Author Guidelines and editorial policies before preparing a manuscript, and use a manuscript language currently available in the submission form.

Manuscripts must be original and must not be under consideration by another journal. Prepare an anonymous main manuscript and a separate author-information and declaration file. Provide author contributions, funding, competing interests, applicable ethics and consent, data availability and substantive generative-AI use information. Keep author-identifying details in the separate file for editors.

Peer review

After editorial screening, suitable manuscripts undergo double-anonymous assessment by at least two independent reviewers. Editors make the final decision after considering the manuscript, reviews and author responses. Submission and revision do not guarantee acceptance.
