Help Center
How can we help?
Find guidance on every part of the submission workflow, or ask the Author Assistant for a direct answer.
Uploading files
Drag and drop DOC, DOCX, PDF or image files. Each file is checked for format and size before it is accepted. You can replace or remove a file at any point before submitting.
Tracking submissions
Every submission has a timeline showing each stage it has passed through, with dates and the message recorded at that stage.
Revisions
When a revision is requested, open the submission and start the revision flow. Your revised files stay attached to the original Submission ID as a new version.
Understanding statuses
Submitted, Under Screening, Under Review, Revision Requested, Accepted and Not Accepted. Each status card also explains whether any action is required from you.
Account & profile
Update your personal and professional information, manage your research interests and change your password from the Profile page.
