Submission Guidelines

1. Permitted Upload Formats

To facilitate collaborative academic workflows, Authors should upload all required files in the appropriate formats listed below. Please ensure that each file is complete and clearly labelled before submission.

2. Preparing Files for Double-Blind Peer Review

To ensure double-blind assessment integrity, authors must remove all author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, and identifying information from the main manuscript.. Structure your submission package using two distinct files:

• Title Page File (Isolated): Contains clear structural title context, complete listing of author definitions, email addresses, and conflict declarations.
• Anonymized Core Text Document: Holds introduction, research flows, methods, reference sets, and tables. No author names or group associations should appear here.

3. Maximum File Size

Each uploaded file must not exceed 20 MB. If your supplementary material is larger, please compress the files into a ZIP archive before submission.
