Author Guidelines
All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent to at least two reviewers for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.
Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as research permits, photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must have an Orcid (if you do not have one, register here) and must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.
The editor may reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are well structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this minimum standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.
