As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• Subscribe to the journal as an author
  
  To submit an article, you will need to create an account as "author".

  The author's name and surname are entered in one language, which should agree with the language in which the article was written. The language is selected in the "language form" field.
  
  
• Article submission
  
  Having registered from your personal page as an author, you can choose to submit a new paper (five-step process):
  1. You choose to which section of the journal you will submit your article (articles, position papers, book reviews, etc.).
  2. You choose the language in which the article is written.
  3. You accept the submission checklist items and the copyright statement, save and continue.
  4. Attach your article file, and accompanying files (photos, graphs, etc.), if any.
  5. You fill in the metadata (authors and article), first in Greek and then in English. The following fields are mandatory:
  • Title
  • Abstract
  • Keywords (to be entered in the 'indexing' section, mandatory in both languages; terms are separated by a semicolon).
  • Language (enter el for Greek, en for English).
  • References (copy the bibliography of the article in this field).

  We recommend the best possible and full completion of Indexing. Indexing contributes to the visibility of the article on the web in a structured way.

   

  Save to complete the submission after you have filled in the required information in both languages.
