If you are preparing your first manuscript, start with the submission process and then read the peer-review guide so you know exactly how your work will be assessed. If you have been invited to review, the peer-review guide sets out what a strong report contains. Editors and prospective Editors-in-Chief should read the journal-management guide alongside the Editor-in-Chief role.
Every guide is bilingual, free to read, and kept current with Lumora's published policies.
