Pre-submission checklist
- The manuscript uses one of the ten article types and follows the structure set out in the Instructions for Authors.
- The title page lists all authors with affiliations, ORCID iDs (recommended) and the corresponding author.
- For double-blind review, the reviewer manuscript is anonymized and identifying information is supplied separately.
- Figures are at least 300 dpi and tables are editable, each cited in the text.
- Ethics approval, consent for publication of clinical photographs, and trial registration are reported where applicable.
- The reporting-guideline checklist is attached where applicable.
- Declarations cover author contributions, funding, competing interests, data availability and any use of AI tools.
- A cover letter states the article type and confirms that the work is not under consideration elsewhere.
What happens next
Editorial decisions are independent of the article processing charge and of any fee-relief inquiry.
- Initial screening. The editorial office checks completeness and scope, and similarity is screened with Crossref Similarity Check, powered by iThenticate.
- Editor assignment. An editor with relevant expertise assesses the manuscript.
- Peer review. Manuscripts that meet the journal's scope and minimum requirements proceed to independent peer review. Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request.
- Decision. The editor decides to accept, to request minor or major revision, or to reject, based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal.
- Revision. Revised manuscripts are accompanied by a point-by-point response to the comments.
- Production and publication. After acceptance and payment of the article processing charge, authors check proofs and the article is published open access with a Crossref DOI.
Charges
No charge is made at submission. The article processing charge is USD 1,499, payable only after acceptance; withdrawal after submission is subject to the journal's withdrawal policy. Fee-relief inquiries are considered case by case; contact the editorial office before or at submission. See Article Processing Charges.
