Email Submission

We cannot accept email submission for the following reasons:

• This online submission system is part of a larger manuscript tracking system that streamlines editorial workflow and speeds decision-making.

• Decision times are faster because the system is partly automated. Anyone can access a PDF over the internet. Not everyone will be able to read the files in the format you submit.

• Online submission allows you to get access to status information such as when the manuscript is ready for decision, or when the journal acknowledges receipt of the submission.

• During online submission, the files you submit are converted into screen resolution PDF files for the review process. Approving this conversion gives you assurance that reviewers see the files as you intended them.

• Online submission is becoming the standard across journals in many disciplines. Reviewers and editors are increasingly accustomed to such systems and find them easier to work with.
