AUTHOR GUIDELINES PS OPEN ACCESS PUBLICATIONS PS supports you throughout the manuscript preparation process, from writing and preparing a great article. Submissions are judged by the Editorial Board and are subject to an external peer review process using the double-blind method whereby the reviewers of the paper won’t get to know the identity of the author(s), and the author(s) won’t get to know the identity of the reviewer. While submitting a paper, please note that the work should not be published before (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture, review, or thesis); should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere; the article publication should be approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities at the institute where the work has been carried out. Submitted papers are seen by editors prior to being sent to full peer-review, and those that are not in the remit of the journal or that do not meet the standards of science or journal required may be rejected without full review. Hence, the authors should give proper findings and should maintain the article in such a way where articles can be communicated to anyone without barriers like language, communication, and understanding.
