When submitting a manuscript, the responsible author (corresponding author) must provide contact information for all authors and confirm that each co-author has approved or that all co-authors have approved the final version of the manuscript.

Before submitting a manuscript, authors are encouraged to review the 'Recommendations for Authors' and the submission requirements below.

Submission of an article automatically means the consent of the author(s) to the terms of the License Agreement (link).

Authors submit two versions of the article — with information about the authors (File’s name: Authors. Title of the article) and without information about the authors (File’s name: For review. Title of the article). This is required to ensure a double-blind peer review.
