Frequently Asked Questions
Is it free to submit and publish?
Yes. There is no submission or publication fee. Every proposal is reviewed for editorial fit and practical value.
Do I need to write in an academic style?
No. Clear practitioner language is preferred. Evidence, sources and transparent reasoning matter more than academic formality.
Can I submit work published elsewhere?
Possibly, if you hold the rights and tell us where it appeared. We may request a substantially adapted version to give readers original value.
Which languages do you accept?
English is the primary publication language. Other languages can be proposed and will be considered depending on editorial capacity.
What happens after I submit?
The editorial team reviews the idea, format, relevance and evidence. If it fits, we contact you with the recommended next step and any questions.
Can an article mention a company, tool or service?
Yes, when it is relevant to the case and disclosed transparently. Purely promotional or advertorial submissions are not accepted.
