Author Guidelines & Editorial Workflow

Every manuscript submitted to GHESB follows a structured, transparent path from submission to publication. Prepare your manuscript as an anonymised Word file following the author guidelines: article types and lengths, anonymising, figures, tables, equations, and the journal's reference style. Then submit online.

1

Manuscript Submission

Author submits the manuscript online with cover letter and declarations.

2

Editorial Screening

Editor-in-Chief checks scope fit, formatting, and plagiarism screening, helped by an automated pre-screen.

Independent reviewers assess originality, rigor, and significance.

Publication & Indexing

Accepted articles are copyedited, published online, and submitted for indexing.

Licensing & copyright

Every article is published open access under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0). Anyone may read, download, share and adapt it, for any purpose, provided the original authors and source are credited.

Authors keep the copyright in their work and grant the journal the right to publish it under this licence. By submitting, you confirm that you are entitled to do so, including for any third-party figures or material you include.

Automated pre-screening of submissions

To speed up the first check, new submissions are read by an automated assistant before the Editor-in-Chief's screening. It checks completeness, formatting, the ethics and competing-interest statements, and fit with the journal's scope, and runs a preliminary similarity check against published literature. Its report is advice to the editor only: every editorial decision is made by a human editor, and no manuscript is rejected automatically.

The manuscript text is processed by Google Cloud Vertex AI (Gemini) under Google Cloud's enterprise terms, which do not allow Google to use it to train its models. Short extracts of the title and abstract are used to search the open scholarly index OpenAlex. Author names and contact details are not sent to either service.

You can opt out when you submit; your manuscript is then screened by the editor alone, with no effect on the decision.
