Only manuscripts submitted via the online submission system would be considered for review unless an exception was made by the Editor to accept submission through a different method.
In order to submit a paper, an author is required to create an online account on the journal website. By submitting a manuscript via the online submission process, the author accepts all the terms and conditions and agrees to comply with the policies set by GSSHJ. If authors have any questions or concerns regarding any of the policies or rules stipulated by GSSHJ, they should contact the editors and pause their submission until they receive a definitive answer.
A separate title page that includes the title, authors, contact information, affiliations, and date should be provided in order to ensure the anonymity of each paper due to GSSHJ’s double-blind peer-review policy.
The main document must not contain any information that would allow the reviewers to identify the author.
