• The submission follows the journal format as outlined in the Author Guidelines found on our website.
• The submission is anonymized and a separate title page is uploaded.
• Title Page - includes the title, authors' names and affiliations, and a complete address for the corresponding author including email.
• All figures and tables included in your paper are also uploaded as separate files and in the format they were created.
