File Format​

Overview​

The File Formats section allows administrators to define the types of files authors are permitted to upload during manuscript submission. By configuring acceptable file types and formats, journals can ensure that all submissions meet their technical and editorial requirements.

For each file type, administrators can specify the supported file format(s) and whether uploading that file is mandatory or optional during the submission process.

Submission Language​

The Submission Language setting specifies the language(s) in which authors are permitted to submit manuscripts.

Select the language that aligns with your journal's publication policy to ensure consistency throughout the submission, peer review, and editorial processes.

English is the default and mandatory submission language. If your journal accepts manuscripts in additional languages, simply select the appropriate language(s) from the available list.

This configuration ensures that authors submit manuscripts in the supported language(s), helping maintain a standardized editorial workflow and improving communication between authors, reviewers, and editors.
