Submission

All manuscripts for review must be submitted online here. Email submissions are not acceptable. The whole manuscript should be submitted as a single file of PDF (or MS Word) containing all figures and tables. A separate file for supplementary materials can be submitted if necessary. PDF is preferred due to its multi-platform compatibility.

For new submission, please suggest 3-6 potential reviewers and provide their contact information including email addresses in the "Suggested reviewers" field. Please also submit a cover letter explaining why the study is important and deserves publication.

To submit a revision of an existing manuscript, you can also sign in here and follow the "Submit a revision" link.

A note on case reports: Please do not submit case reports to this journal as they are no longer considered for publication.
