Author Guidelines

SAER JOURNAL / AUTHOR GUIDE
Only two files are required for initial submission: an anonymized full-text manuscript and a title page containing author information.
Formatting according to the journal's publication template is not required at initial submission. Authors only need to upload the anonymized full-text manuscript and the title page as separate files. Accepted manuscripts are formatted according to the journal's publication style by the SAER Journal editorial team prior to publication.
