Call for Papers and Submission Process

The call for paper submissions to the journal is posted on its website.

Interested authors are invited to submit their articles following the guidelines provided below.

Submissions must adhere to the specified formatting rules and follow scientific methodology.

The Editorial Board oversees the evaluation process, ensuring an objective and scientific assessment of each submission.

Authors are informed of the progress of the evaluation and any changes in the status of their article.

Article submission requires independence, originality, and adherence to ethical codes.

Specifically:

• Works submitted for publication are considered under the condition that they are original and have not been published or are intended for publication elsewhere in any scientific journal or other publication of any kind.

• The length of each submitted work ranges between 4,000 and 7,000 words, including abstracts, bibliography, tables, diagrams, charts, images, and appendices.

• Each work should be accompanied, in addition to the title, by an abstract of up to 250 words in Greek and, correspondingly, an abstract in English.Given that the journal is international, in case the article is submitted in English, the author is required to provide an abstract in Greek as well.

• At the end of each abstract, up to six (6) keywords should be provided in the same language.

• Submitted works should have the following structure: author(s) personal information, title, abstracts, keywords, text, bibliography.

For the sake of anonymity and to ensure the integrity of the evaluation process for submitted texts, the personal information of the authors—in the order they appear in the work—should be included on a separate (introductory) page from the text of the work, in Arial font, size 12, lowercase.

On this introductory page, a brief biographical note (up to 250 words) for each author should be included.

This page will be removed/separated from the manuscript by the editorial committee of the journal before the start of the text evaluation process, to ensure a "blind" review. In this introductory page, in case of multiple authors, the corresponding author for communication should be indicated. To ensure a "blind" review:

• Authors should have removed their names from the main text of the article,
• In the WORD file, as well as in the PDF file, the author's identity should be removed from the properties of the file (correspondingly in the File menu in Word and in the File menu of Adobe Acrobat).

Authors submit the revised version of their work in its final form, in WORD and PDF formats, after considering the changes proposed by the reviewers, within two weeks from the date of notification of the reviewers' comments, using the Article Writing and Submission Template (follows).

The Editorial Board of the journal judges whether the revised work, according to the reviewers' suggestions, is suitable for publication. The revised works are forwarded for language editing and formatting under the condition that they are formatted according to the specifications of the journal. If further clarifications are required, authors will be notified by email to provide them. If they do not respond within three working days of their notification, their article will be published according to the changes proposed by the editors of the text.
