The manuscript submission portal isn't available on phones. To start or continue a submission — uploading your files and completing each step — please open it on a desktop or laptop. You can still review your submissions from the author dashboard on any device.
Choose the category that best describes your manuscript. This determines the review process. Original research, critical appraisals, research letters, and personal essays are published at zero cost.
Simply upload your manuscript file. Our AI will automatically extract and pre-fill all manuscript details on the next page — authors, title, and abstract — so you don't have to type them manually.
Submit manuscript as a Word file and include your tables and figures at the end. If accepted, we will ask for high resolution figures.
Include all author email addresses, disclosures, and funding sources within the title page(s) of your manuscript to avoid manual entry on next screen.
