Submissions

Submission Preparation Checklist

All submissions must meet the following requirements.

• The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor). While the manuscript is undergoing the peer review phase, the authors will not submit the manuscript to another journal without notifying the editor.
• We fight plagiarism: please understand that your article will be checked with available tools for discovering plagiarism.
• The submission file is in Microsoft Word, RTF, or PDF document file format.
• The text is double-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than quoting/underlining (except with URL addresses); and all figures and tables are placed at the end. If tables are used, they should be double spaced on separate pages. They should be numbered and cited in the text of the article. If figures are used, they must be submitted as .tiff or .jpg files, with the requested digital resolution. If material which has already been published is used, a copy of the written permission for the reproduction and adaptation has to be provided before publication. The procedure for requesting the permission is the responsibility of the Authors. If abbreviations are used in the text, authors are required to write full name+abbreviation in brackets [e.g., multiple myeloma (MM)] the first time they are used, then only abbreviations can be written (apart from titles; in this case authors have to write always the full name).
• Authors are aware that the Editors may decide to decline manuscripts that do not include statements regarding: - funding and potential conflicts of interest; - approval gained by an institutional board for research involving either human or nonhuman animal participants; - research in healthcare settings should likewise indicate whether NHS approval or equivalent from an appropriate committee was gained. Authors are solely responsible for statements and disclaimers included in the manuscripts.
• Please fill in the “Uniform Format for Disclosure of Competing Interests in ICMJE Journals” and upload it on the Web site of the PAGEPress journal your work is involved with or email it back to us, in mind to allow PAGEPress to peer-reviewing your work. Kindly note that the format has to be completed and signed by each author of the work: if this Disclosure Form is missing, we will not be able to publish your work.
• Authors are kindly invited to suggest at least two potential reviewers (name, affiliation and e-mail) for their manuscript in the "Comments to the Editor" field (Step 1. Submission Process).
