Manuscripts should not be submitted if they have already been published or accepted for publication elsewhere. The full text of the paper including text, references, list of captions, tables, and figures should be submitted online and you will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of your files. The system automatically converts source files to a single PDF file of the article, which is used in the peer-review process.
