Before submitting your manuscript, please follow all the JFR Guidelines. The JFR only accepts submissions of original works that have not previously been published or are currently under consideration/review at other journals. We use Crossref Similarity Check by iThenticate to ensure that each manuscript is original. Any works found to be in whole or in part a duplication of any other work(s) (including those of the submitting author[s]), without appropriate citation will be desk rejected.
Step 2
The publisher requires that all final manuscripts should be in editable formats (e.g. .doc, .docx, .tex). Although not required at initial submission, we suggest that you submit your initial manuscript in this format to help streamline the process.
Step 3
