Submission deadlines

The deadline for manuscript submission is on or about the 20th day of the month (the submission calendar provides specific dates). Manuscripts that are received by this deadline and accepted without further revision are eligible for publication 2 months later. The publication date is on or about the 15th day of the month. Manuscripts that are revised, resubmitted, and then accepted are usually published 7 to 9 weeks after resubmission.

Receipt of manuscripts that fulfill the requirements for submission is acknowledged in writing. Authors should refer to the assigned manuscript number in all related correspondence. Papers that do not adhere to the manuscript requirements may be returned for revision before being reviewed.
