Pre-submission queries

Original articles

Pre-submission queries are not required for Original articles. Authors are requested to submit their articles directly via Manuscript Central. If an article is deemed unsuitable for publication the authors are assured of a rapid response.

Review articles
- Due to the very high submission rate and the resulting space restrictions, the IJTLD is now limiting publication of review articles to those that are timely and provide useful information for readers.
- Authors wishing to submit a review article to the IJTLD are therefore requested to send a pre-submission query consisting of a one-page proposal to the Editorial Office. A response concerning the suitability or otherwise of the article will be returned within 5 days.
Perspective articles

Counterpoints and Unresolved issues articles are now to be replaced by a global title, Perspectives. Articles submitted for this section are limited in length to not more than 1500 words and 15 references. Authors wishing to submit a Perspectives article to the IJTLD are requested to send a short pre-submission query to the Editorial Office.
