Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
• Your submission file is in PDF format for manuscripts and in the Word or LaTeX formats provided by the journal for accepted articles (templates are available under Information).
• Wherever available, DOI has been provided for the references (if no DOI but URL is available, the URL must be provided).
• Figures and tables are captioned and all are referenced in the text of the article.
• The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
• To make the blind review possible, the files of the submitted article are anonymised and the author cannot be identified from the files.
