Author Guidelines

We are grateful that you are considering publishing a paper in our journal, and we encourage you to submit it through our online submission platform, whether in response to our currently open calls for papers or for the open section.

Articles - CfP Topic

All submissions to this section will be reviewed by the responsible issue editor(s) first. If they fit the CfP topic, adhere to the formal prerequisites and are of substantial content, they are put to a double-blind peer-review process. The result of the review process is a recommendation of the peer which is communicated to the contributer. In case of a positive review, the author will have the opportunity to deal with the suggestions the issue editor(s) and/or the peer may make.

The decision whether a contribution will be published in this section is made by the issue editor(s) alone.
