✅ Submission Preparation Checklist

 

📋 Why This Matters

As part of the submission process, authors must review and confirm that their manuscript meets the requirements listed below. Submissions that fail to adhere to these guidelines may be returned to authors.

 

🗹 Submission Requirements

Each submission must:

✅ Be prepared in accordance with the CSRB Author Guidelines.

✅ Not be previously published or under consideration by another journal.

✅ Have all references checked for accuracy, completeness, and formatting.

✅ Ensure that all tables and figures are correctly numbered and clearly labelled.

✅ Confirm that permission has been granted for the publication of any photos, datasets, or supplemental materials included.

 

👥 Author Responsibilities

👏 All authors listed on the submission must have consented to be identified as an author.

🏁 Where applicable, research must be approved by an appropriate ethics committee, in line with the legal standards of the relevant country.

📄 Authors must obtain permission to publish any supporting material, such as photos, documents, or datasets.

 

⚡️ Why This Checklist is Important

Prior to review, an editor will assess whether the submission meets CSRB’s aims and scope. Submissions that align well will move to peer review, while those that fail to satisfy basic quality or formatting standards may be desk rejected. To increase the likelihood of a successful review:

✅ Ensure the title is concise and reflective of the work.

✅ Draft an abstract that clearly conveys the study and can stand on its own.

✅ Maintain a strong research design and a well‑articulated argument throughout.
