• Publication Timeline: Articles are published approximately 15 days after acceptance.

Submission Guidelines:

• Responsible Author: The author submitting the manuscript must manage the submission and peer review process.
• Cover Letter: A cover letter must explain why the manuscript should be published and disclose any potential conflicts of interest.
