Submission guidelines

Submit through your author account. Each submission receives a unique tracking ID of the form SPV-YYYY-NNNNN; quote it in all correspondence. You can follow the manuscript's status from your dashboard at any time.

What to prepare

• Title — informative, sentence case, no abbreviations (8–300 characters).
• Abstract — 200–600 words, structured as Background / Methods / Results / Conclusion for original research.
• Keywords — 3–8 terms separated by semicolons.
• Author list — full name, institutional affiliation and (optionally) ORCID for every author, with exactly one corresponding author.
• References — one per line, ordered by first appearance.
• Declarations — originality, author consent, patient privacy, ethics approval status, conflicts of interest and copyright terms.
• Manuscript file — PDF or DOCX up to 16 MB.

Reporting expectations

• Describe the study design, setting, participants, variables and statistical analysis in enough detail for replication.
• Report exact values with denominators; give confidence intervals or p-values where applicable, and avoid claiming causality from observational designs.
• For human research, record the ethics committee name and approval reference (or state why approval was not required).
• Never include identifying patient information without documented informed consent.
• Declare funding, data availability and each author's contribution.

Peer-review process

Scientivora Publishers operates single-blind peer review: reviewers remain anonymous to the authors, while editors know the identities of both parties. Manuscripts move through the following stages, and every transition is written to an audit trail.

1. 1

   Submission & acknowledgement

   Your manuscript is registered with a tracking ID and marked Submitted. Confirmations show the file type, size and time of receipt.

2. 2

   Editorial screening

   A handling editor checks scope, completeness, declarations and originality screening. Manuscripts can be desk-rejected here with a documented reason.

3. 3

   Peer review

   At least two reviewers are typically invited with a due date. Each completes a structured assessment covering methodological rigour, novelty and clarity, plus a recommendation.

4. 4

   Decision

   The editor records one of: revision requested, accepted or rejected — always with a written decision letter visible to the authors.

5. 5

   Revision

   When revisions are requested, you upload a revised file with a point-by-point response; the manuscript re-enters review or receives a final decision.

6. 6

   Production & publication

   Acceptance is followed by production checks — ethics documentation, declarations, formatting and metadata verification — before the article is published. Only accepted manuscripts can be published, and every check is recorded.

Copyright & licensing

• Authors retain copyright in their work. Publication grants the publisher a licence to distribute the article.

• Under CC BY 4.0 others may share and adapt the work with attribution; commercial use terms depend on the licence shown on the article.
