Frequently asked questions
In which language do you publish?
Manuscripts are published in English. Authors whose first language is not English are encouraged to have the manuscript checked by a fluent speaker before submission.
Are there any fees for authors?
No. There is currently no article processing charge (APC): publishing in the journal is free of charge for authors. There are no submission, review or page charges either. The policy may change in the future with prior notice; manuscripts submitted before any change keep the terms in force at submission.
How does peer review work?
After a technical check and editorial screening, manuscripts undergo double-blind peer review: reviewers do not know the authors, and authors do not know the reviewers.
Under which licence are articles published?
Articles are published open access under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). Authors retain their copyright.
Are preprints allowed?
Yes. Preprints are permitted and should be declared in the cover letter.
Which files do I need to submit?
A cover letter, a title page with every author's ORCID iD and affiliation, a blinded manuscript, the License to Publish and Author Declaration form, and the ICMJE conflict of interest form for each author.
Can I appeal a decision?
Yes. E-mail the editorial office with a detailed justification within 30 days. An editor not involved in the original decision reviews the appeal.
