Choose the Role That Matches Your Work
Authors use an account to begin and track submissions. Reviewers use a profile to record subject interests, availability, and conflict information. Readers may use an account for notifications or saved preferences when those features are enabled.
A role does not guarantee publication, review assignments, or access to confidential material. Editorial decisions follow the journal’s disclosed policies and remain independent of account status.

Common questions
Questions Readers and Contributors Ask
Does registration cost anything?
Creating an account should not by itself create a publication fee or financial commitment.

A user may hold more than one role when the journal workflow permits it, but permissions and responsibilities remain distinct.

Retention and deletion follow the journal’s privacy statement and any obligations tied to the scholarly record.
