Submit Your Research
Articles are published rapidly as soon as they are accepted, after passing a series of prepublication checks to assess originality, readability, author eligibility, and compliance with zimark's policies and ethical guidelines. Peer review by invited experts takes place openly after publication. An article remains published regardless of the reviewers’ reports. Articles that pass peer review are indexed in Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar and other bibliographic databases.
Authors are encouraged to respond openly to the peer review reports, which are published with the article, and can publish revised versions of their article at no further cost, if they wish. Read more about zimark's peer review model.
See the Article Guidelines for information about submitting different article types. Track your submissions via My Research.
Before you submit an article, please ensure that:
