Finding out a journal's scope (manuscript suitability)

Please review the aims and scope of the journal on the journal’s homepage as well as abstracts of recently published papers. 


If the paper is suitable for the journal, please submit using the Submit Manuscript button on the journal’s homepage. The paper will be submitted to the Editor in Chief for initial assessment. If the paper is found suitable, it will be sent out for peer review. If not, a transfer will be suggested where applicable. You will be notified shortly in any case.
