Ⅰ. Online Submission of Original Manuscripts
Getting Started
First-time users must create an account by clicking the "Register" button. Please use an active email address for your account. If you have an account but forgot your password, click the "Forgot Your Password?" button to receive a reset link via email.
To begin, enter your ID and password into the provided boxes and click "Login." On the welcome screen, click the "Submit a Manuscript" button, followed by "New Submissions," and complete Steps 1–8.
Step 1. Title, Abstract, and Corresponding Author
Select the manuscript type and enter your title and abstract into the appropriate boxes. Use the "Special Characters" button if needed. If you are submitting a manuscript that does not require an abstract, please type "N/A" in the abstract box. Check the appropriate box if the corresponding author is also the first author.
Step 2. Authors
Enter the required information for all authors by clicking the "Add Author" button. Please note that the author list cannot be revised after submission. You must click "Add Author" to register each author before proceeding to the next step; clicking "Next" without adding them will not save their information.
Step 3. File Upload
To ensure a double-blind peer review process, the main manuscript file must not include authors' names or affiliations. Upload and select the correct file designation for each document.
Acceptable file formats are MS Word (.doc, .docx) and PDF files. Figures and supplementary image files should be uploaded in JPG or PDF format. Each file must not exceed 20 MB in size.
Step 4. PDF Conversion
Merger file will be created as pdf format.
Step 5. Cover Letter & Additional Info.
Please provide any additional notes or a cover letter for the Editor-in-Chief.
Step 6. Suggest Reviewers
Suggesting reviewers is particularly helpful when the manuscript deals with a highly specialized subject. Use the fields below to provide contact information for each suggested reviewer. Please note that the journal reserves the right to make the final selection of reviewers, but your suggestions are appreciated.
Step 7. Preview
Review the information and the generated PDF carefully for accuracy; make changes if needed. You must complete all required steps before the system allows you to submit your manuscript.
Step 8. Submit
Once submitted, you will be able to monitor the progress of your manuscript through the peer review process via your account.
