What “High-Quality Submission” Means in Practice

  • You confirm one primary journal (plus backup journals, if desired).

Stage 2 – Compliance Check & Formatting


  • We check the latest “Instructions for Authors” and submission policies.
  • We ensure your manuscript, references, figures and tables meet the stated format.
  • We flag any missing components (e.g., ethics numbers, registration IDs, consents).

Stage 3 – Cover Letter & Declarations


  • We draft a professional cover letter emphasizing novelty, impact and journal fit.
  • We prepare or refine COI, funding, ethics and data availability statements.
  • We help you prepare suggested and opposed reviewers (if required), following ethical norms.

Stage 4 – Portal Submission & Admin Follow-up


  • We support you in completing the journal’s online submission system step-by-step.
  • We verify that all files, details and checkboxes are consistent and accurate.
  • After submission, we guide you in replying to basic administrative queries from the editorial office (e.g., missing forms, file corrections).
