Journal submission and peer review
How do I submit a manuscript?
Open the Journals page, choose the journal that fits your manuscript and select Submit manuscript.
How do I choose the right journal?
Compare your manuscript with the journal’s aims and scope, accepted article types and recent publications. Follow the current author instructions for the journal you choose.
Can I submit the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time?
No. A manuscript should not be under consideration by multiple journals at the same time. Wait for a decision or confirmed withdrawal before submitting the same work elsewhere.
Can I submit work that has appeared as a preprint, thesis or conference paper?
Possibly. Prior dissemination should be disclosed, and the selected journal’s policy must allow it. A thesis, preprint or conference version does not automatically disqualify a manuscript, but substantial overlap, copyright restrictions or duplicate publication can.
What happens after submission?
The journal first checks basic suitability and submission requirements. A manuscript that proceeds may be sent to independent reviewers. The editor considers the reviews and the manuscript and then makes a decision such as revision, rejection or acceptance.
How long does peer review take?
There is no single guaranteed review time. The duration depends on the journal, the manuscript, reviewer availability, the number of revision rounds and how quickly authors respond. The journal will contact the author when action is required.
Will I receive reviewer comments?
When a manuscript is reviewed, authors normally receive the reviewer comments that the editor decides should be communicated. Reviewers advise the editor, and the editor remains responsible for the publication decision.
Do I have to suggest reviewers?
Some journals request suggested reviewers and others may not. Follow the submission requirements of the journal you choose. Suggested reviewers must meet the journal’s conflict-of-interest and independence requirements, and the editor is not obliged to use them.
Can I appeal a rejection?
Where the journal provides an appeal process, an author may ask for reconsideration when there is a specific reason to believe that a material error or unfair process affected the decision. An appeal should address the editorial reasoning, not simply repeat the original submission.
Publication ethics and author responsibility
Who should be listed as an author?
Authors should have made a qualifying intellectual contribution, approve the submitted work and accept responsibility for it. People who contributed but do not meet the journal’s authorship requirements should be acknowledged appropriately.
Can I use artificial intelligence when preparing a manuscript?
AI-assisted tools cannot be authors. Authors remain responsible for accuracy, originality, citations, permissions and integrity. Substantive use of AI in writing, analysis, images or another part of the work should be disclosed in the way required by the journal.
What happens if there is a serious error after publication?
Contact the journal. Depending on the issue, the published record may require a correction, expression of concern, retraction or another transparent notice. Published articles are not silently replaced when the change materially affects the record.
What are common reasons a manuscript may be rejected?
Common reasons include poor fit with the journal, a weak or unclear research question, unsuitable methods, insufficient evidence for the conclusions, inadequate reporting, major ethical or integrity concerns, substantial overlap with earlier work, or failure to address essential submission requirements.
