Submission Guidelines

Articles and book reviews are welcome for publication on a rolling basis via this link.

Submissions that fail to comply with the journal’s publication guidelines will be rejected.

All submitted articles undergo anonymous peer review, as outlined in the journal’s documentation. Editors assign submissions to Scientific Advisory Board members or external reviewers based on their specialisation. Key criteria include alignment with the journal’s scope, adherence to guidelines, writing quality, originality, relevance, and potential to advance knowledge in the journal’s fields of interest.

Only one article by the same author will be considered for publication in any given year.

Submissions for that year’s volume are accepted until the end of April.

Post-Peer Review: Process and Timeline

a) In initial proofs of accepted articles, only typographical errors may be corrected.

b) Corrected proofs must be returned within 15 days.

c) Second proofs are only for checking that the corrections marked on the first set have been made and must be returned within 8 days of receiving the PDF.

d) The Editorial Board estimates that the annual volume will be published in the last quarter of each year, subject to changes based on the production schedule.
