Submissions
Submit work that fits the journal’s defined focus on research administration and management. A complete submission gives editors enough information to assess scope, research integrity, reporting quality, authorship, conflicts, data availability, and readiness for review.

01
Prepare a Complete, Review-Ready Manuscript
Begin with the Aims and Scope. A technically complete file may still be unsuitable when its central question falls outside research administration or does not speak to the journal’s intended audience.
Remove identifying information when the disclosed review model requires anonymization. Keep a separate title page with author names, affiliations, contact details, acknowledgments, funding, conflicts, and contributor statements.

Core Submission Components
A research manuscript normally needs a clear title, structured or well-organized abstract, keywords, main text, references, and any required tables, figures, appendices, or supplementary files. The chosen article type should match the work actually presented.
Declarations should address authorship and contributions, funding, competing interests, research ethics approval when applicable, consent when applicable, data availability, and prior or overlapping publication.
- Confirm the manuscript fits the journal’s scope.
- Use clear headings and accessible tables and figures.
- Check every reference and in-text citation.
- Provide complete authorship, funding, conflict, ethics, and data statements.
- Upload only the final files intended for editorial review.
Common questions
Questions Readers and Contributors Ask
Does submission guarantee peer review?
No. Editors may screen a manuscript for scope, completeness, integrity, and basic suitability before external review.
Can a manuscript be submitted elsewhere at the same time?
Simultaneous submission is generally inconsistent with an exclusive journal review process. Authors should disclose the manuscript’s status accurately.
When should authors contact the journal?
Ask before submission when scope, article type, prior dissemination, data restrictions, or required declarations are genuinely unclear.
