Find the information you need, then check the relevant journal page for its current requirements. Submission formats, templates, fees and editorial policies may differ by journal.
For authors
Choose a journal that fits your manuscript and read its Author Guidelines before submission.
- Use the format and template accepted by that journal.
- Check its scope, ethics requirements and publication charges.
- Submit through the journal’s own submission page.
For reviewers
Review invitations are managed by each journal. Before accepting, confirm your expertise, availability and any conflicts of interest.
Provide a constructive, confidential assessment through the journal’s review system and follow the deadline shown in your invitation.
For librarians
SPC journal articles are available to read online. Browse individual journal pages for their archives, ISSN, scope and publication information.
For conference organizers
To explore a possible collaboration, see our conferences page and contact SPC with the event’s subject, dates and proposed publication plan.
Any arrangement must be reviewed and agreed before it is announced to participants.
Open access
Published articles can be read without a subscription. Copyright and reuse terms are stated on each journal and article page; check those terms before reusing material.
Special issues
Special-issue proposals should fit the scope of a specific journal. Contact that journal’s editorial office with the topic, rationale, proposed editors and timetable.
Proposals require editorial approval; regular peer-review and journal policies continue to apply.
For article-specific questions, use the contact information on the relevant journal page. Its published guidelines take precedence over this overview.
