Submitting material

We regret to inform you that between December 20 and January 8 the submission of new articles is suspended.

The manuscript submission process consists of 5 steps:

• STEP 1. START: submission check; authors transfer ownership rights and can make comments to the editor.
• STEP 2. UPLOAD SUBMISSION: the original article (.doc .docx) sent for review is uploaded, as well as any translations available to the other languages.
• STEP 3. ENTER METADATA: fill in the authors’ personal details and indicate the author to be contacted.
• STEP 4. UPLOAD ADDITIONAL FILES: in this step, the title page is uploaded in a Microsoft Word document or similar (please avoid PDFs). This document helps reduce the editorial manager’s amount of work. It must include the authors’ identification details, affiliation and contact information specifying the corresponding author, high quality graphics, images or videos to improve the article (optional).
• STEP 5. CONFIRMATION: final step in which the submission is confirmed.

Please make sure your article complies with the Publication standards
