Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to make a submission to this journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. 

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.

Working languages are: preferably English, but also French and German. Other contributions, such as in Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, etc., will have to be translated to be more widely accessible. (In these cases we may publish both the original and an English translation to accommodate diverse audiences).

There is no restriction on size, but book-length papers are discouraged. An abstract should be included.

We encourage prospective contributors to submit both a pdf and a Word version of their papers. Due to the large number of diacritics employed in certain languages, we suggest using one of the widely available Unicode fonts (such as Arial Unicode MS, Times Extended Roman, Gentium, Gandhari, etc.).

Maps, photos, and diagrams should be supplied in pdf, jpg, or similar popular formats, and they should be included in the pdf submission of the article.
