Submissions
Author Guidelines
Online submission
Submit the manuscript through the journal’s online submission system. Initial submissions may be prepared in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or LaTeX. For LaTeX submissions, upload the source file together with the bibliography, figures, and any required style files. A PDF may be included for reliable viewing.
The corresponding author should confirm that every co-author has reviewed and approved the submission. You may save an incomplete submission and return to it later.
Article types
The journal considers original research articles, review articles, short communications, technical notes, and relevant case studies that fit its aims and scope.
Manuscript structure
Use a clear structure appropriate to the study. A research article will normally include:
- Title; author names and affiliations; corresponding-author email; ORCID iDs where available
- Abstract of no more than 250 words and 4–6 keywords
- Introduction; methods or methodology; results; discussion; conclusions
- Acknowledgements, funding information, relevant disclosures, data availability information, and references, where applicable
To simplify initial submission, exact house typesetting is not required. The manuscript must be readable, complete, and internally consistent.
Figures, tables, equations, and supplementary files
- Cite and number figures and tables consecutively, with clear captions.
- Use legible, publication-quality figures and explain all symbols, abbreviations, and units.
- Number equations that are cited in the text and define notation when first used.
- Upload supporting data or supplementary material only when it is relevant to evaluation or reproducibility.
Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material.
References
Citations and the reference list must use one consistent scholarly style. Check every reference for accuracy and include a DOI as a clickable https://doi.org/... link whenever available.
Language and originality
Write in clear, professional English. The work must be original, must not be under consideration by another journal, and must properly acknowledge reused text, data, figures, and ideas. Preprints and related prior outputs should be disclosed and cited where relevant.
After acceptance
The corresponding author will receive proofs for review. Return essential corrections promptly. If requested by the editorial office, the final editable files may be emailed to editor@sciencepubco.com; include the journal name and manuscript ID. This production route applies only after acceptance and does not replace online submission.
