How to submit a paper through the website of a journal?
Submitting a paper through a journal website typically involves uploading your manuscript files via the journal's designated online submission system. This is the standard and feasible method for most academic journals.
Prior to submission, carefully review the journal's "Instructions for Authors," ensuring your manuscript adheres to all guidelines regarding format, length, ethical considerations, and file types. Create an author account on the submission platform if you don't have one. Prepare all required files, such as the main manuscript, cover letter, figures, supplementary materials, and author disclosure forms. Accurately enter manuscript metadata, including title, abstract, keywords, and author affiliations. Provide complete and accurate information for all suggested reviewers if requested.
Log into the submission system and initiate a new submission. Upload all prepared manuscript files in the specified formats. Complete all necessary metadata fields systematically in the online forms. Carefully review your uploaded files and entered information before final submission confirmation. Upon final submission, you will usually receive an automated confirmation email acknowledging receipt, initiating the editorial and peer review process.
