For authors
Submission guidance with clearer expectations
Authors should know what the journal expects before they invest time in preparing a manuscript package.
What authors can expect
Lumina Academic Publishing journals support structured drafts, author and affiliation management, statements, reviewer suggestions, file versioning, and a controlled final submission step.
Payment is not requested at submission. APC only becomes relevant after acceptance unless a journal operates without APC.
Before you submit
Manuscript packages should include complete metadata, at least one controlled manuscript file, all authors in order, and any required ethics or data availability statements.
After submission, the record moves through editorial screening, review, revision, and production without silent overwrites.
