This webpage provides information on what the authors are asked to check or do for a successful submission. Its goal is to let the authors know in advance what they need to have ready thus making the submission process smoother.

1. Anonymise your manuscript

Create an anonymised version of your manuscript. (It is wise to keep the eponymous file in a separate file for use later than overwrite it.)

Latex: uncomment the anonymisation command at the top of your Latex file (it is a part of the Glossa Contact template). This will screen your name(s) at the top of the manuscript and the potentially deanonymising sections of the endmatter, without the need for you to do anything by hand.

Office: (i) At the file's beginning, delete your name and affiliation; (ii) go to the endmatter sections. Copy the following sections: Data accessibility statement; Ethics and consent; Funding information; Acknowledgements; Author contributions; from your manuscript into a separate .txt file. Then, replace the text of these endmatter sections with a notice HIDDEN FOR REVIEW PURPOSES; (iii) export your manuscript as a .pdf ensuring that the .pdf does not include your name in its “properties fields”; (iv) during the electronic submission, please copy the sections hidden for review at the end of your comments to the editor.

2. Statements the authors have to agree with when submitting

The author(s), by ticking the corresponding box in the submission online system, will have to agree to: (i) the copyright statement, where you need to grant us the permission to disseminate the work under Creative Commons license CCBY 4.0 in case the article is accepted; and (ii) the submission checklist including that the submission has not been previously published, all authors have given permission, any third-party materials have appropriate permissions, the main submission is a single PDF, the maximum word count has been adhered to, the manuscript has been fully anonymised, and the research has been conducted in accordance with the Ethics guidelines.

3. Prepare the metadata and other information

You can provide us with the names of reviewers you wish to exclude or to recommend. Please include these requests in your comments to the editors during the electronic submission. Your requests for excluded reviewers will always be granted.
