Submissions

Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to make a submission to this journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.

Before submitting a manuscript, authors are strongly encouraged to carefully read the Author Guidelines, available at https://journals.vertexpub.com/index.php/jcnmcm/authorinstructions. The Author Guidelines provide detailed information on article types, manuscript preparation, formatting requirements, reporting guidelines, ethical responsibilities, declarations, references, figures and tables, and the submission process. Adherence to these guidelines helps ensure a smooth editorial and peer-review process. Manuscripts that do not comply with the journal's requirements may be returned to the authors for technical revision before editorial assessment.
