used by the journals, with manuscript tracking
capabilities.

• It is designed to make manuscript submission
easy.

Manuscript Uploading
• Ensure that all authors are included in the main
document with a contact address.
• Ideally we would prefer text, figures and tables
to be submitted separately with indicators in the
text as to their location.
• All figures CAN be grouped into one document
and uploaded as one file.
• The same applies for tables.
• Some file formats are not compatible and an
error message will appear on the screen.
• Please note that depending on your network
connections, this process may take some time.
