Forms for journals publication
For your reference, PDF versions of forms required for publication are provided here.
Based on your submission question responses in Editorial Manager, the journal office will send the appropriate forms to you via Docusign after acceptance. Do not include these in your submission files.
The corresponding author signs all forms on behalf of coauthors. Each coauthor separately completes a questionnaire during submission to confirm their authorship, verify their name for the byline, and disclose any relevant conflict of interest.
