Procedures After Acceptance

If the manuscript is accepted for publication, the article and supporting documents will be sent to a production editor for additional editing and publication. Once the galley proof is complete, it is sent to the authors so that they can make any necessary corrections. Some minor adjustments may be made during typesetting, such as resizing the images in the article to fit the journal’s template. Authors may be asked to provide figures with a higher resolution.

Authors submit their corrections or approval on the galley proof through the online submission system. If additional revisions are necessary, a new proof will be generated and sent to the authors. The article will be published on the journal's website once the authors and production editors have accepted the galley proof file. At the time of publication, volume, issue, article, and DOI numbers are inserted into the article’s full text, and a publication-ready version is generated. After an article is published online, authors receive a confirmation email.
