Authors are invited to submit manuscripts to this journal. All submissions are initially assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of the journal. Manuscripts considered suitable will be sent for peer review before a final decision on acceptance or rejection is made.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet the minimum standards of quality. Prior to submission, authors should ensure that:

• The study design is sound and clearly described
• The research argument is well structured and clearly articulated
• The title is concise and informative
• The abstract is complete and able to stand alone

Careful preparation at this stage increases the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the manuscript.
