Submitting your manuscript

Submissions will be rejected if they fail to comply with the journal’s guidelines and requirements (i.e., formatting, subject matter, etc.) or are found to contain plagiarized or previously published material. Authors are responsible for scientific integrity of their manuscript. We check all papers for plagiarism before the peer-review using Antiplagiat and iThenticate software. Reviewers or editors can also detect a misconduct. In all cases of proved ethical misconduct, the paper will be rejected. The authors will be informed of the reasons of rejection.
