Authors are asked to use the template in .doc format and follow the journal's instructions for authors.
Read the instructions contained in the Ensuring blind review page, and adapt your files accordingly.

Only articles responding to these criteria may be published in the journal.
The journal reserves the right to refuse submitted papers for publication.

Registering to the platform
Authors need to register with the journal prior to submitting or, if already registered, can simply log in and begin the five-step submission process.
The registration process is almost instantaneous if done with your ORCID id (temporarily disabled).
You should now have access to your user "Dashboard", that is the "operational" side of the website, which should look like this:
Should you not be able to see your "Dashboard", then you are probably still navigating on the website's "public" interface. Go to the upper right corner of the page, where you should see a button named after your personal username. Click on this button will roll-down the menu shown here below, and select "Dashboard".
Five-steps submission
When properly prepared, the submission process as such takes less then 15 minutes.
