Manuscript Submission Overview 

Submission Process 

Manuscripts should be submitted via the Editorial ManagerTM platform customized for Awareness, which can be accessed through any web browser or via the journal’s website (www.awarenessjournals.org).  The submitting author, who is generally also the Corresponding Author, is responsible for the manuscript during the submission and peer-review process. The submitting author must ensure that all eligible co-authors have been included in the author list (read the criteria to qualify for authorship) and that all authors have read and approved the submitted version of the manuscript. To submit your manuscript, register and log in to the submission website. All co-authors can see the manuscript details in the submission system, if they register and log in using the e-mail address provided during manuscript submission.
