Manuscript anonymization

To ensure anonymity during the review process, authors are required to:

  • Remove their names from the manuscript and replace any identifying references with “Author” and the year (e.g., in citations, footnotes, and the bibliography);
  • Omit or redact acknowledgements or mentions of collaborations that could reveal their identity;
  • Delete identifying metadata from the file properties.

If the article is accepted, authors will be invited to reinsert their identifying details after completing the peer review process and final revisions.

The review process cannot be initiated if the submitted manuscript does not comply with the required anonymisation standards. In such cases, a new submission may be made once all personal and identifying information has been removed from the proposal file.

Remuneration

The journal will not remunerate the authors.

No accepted text may be published elsewhere without prior and explicit agreement with the journal's editors.

Submissions sent to the journal may not be simultaneously submitted to other journals.
Nevertheless, authors who decide to submit their proposal to another journal, either during the review process or after receiving negative review reports, must :
  • notify the editorial board as soon as possible;

  • withdraw their submission by deleting the file uploaded to the portal.
