The answers to Frequently Asked Questions will also be helpful when submitting to the journal, and useful for reference throughout the publication process.

Once you have submitted your article, it will be assessed by the editorial board and then reviewed by international peer reviewers before it is accepted for publication in the journal. Information about the reviewing process is available here.

Article processing charges

To ensure the long-term sustainability of our journal, articles submitted after 1 July 2026 and accepted for publication after review might be subject to an article processing charge (APC).

Editorial Board members do not include APC eligibility in their consideration of articles and authors and affiliations are blinded to reviewers during peer review.

More information about APCs is available here and in our answers to FAQs.

The APC amount due will be communicated to the author upon article acceptance, and the APC must be paid before the article is published.
