3. Abstract and Keywords

Each manuscript should include a concise and informative abstract summarizing the research objectives, methodology, principal findings, and conclusions, as appropriate to the article type.

Relevant keywords should also be provided to represent the main subject areas and improve the discoverability of the published research.

4. Originality and Plagiarism

All submissions must represent original scholarly work. Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts do not contain plagiarism, fabricated findings, falsified information, or improperly reproduced material.

All sources, previously published findings, figures, and other borrowed content must be appropriately acknowledged and cited. Manuscripts may undergo similarity screening and editorial assessment. Submissions involving suspected plagiarism or other research-integrity concerns may be returned, rejected, or investigated in accordance with the journal's publication ethics policies.

5. Authorship and Contributions

All listed authors should have made meaningful contributions to the research or manuscript preparation and must approve the final submitted version.

The corresponding author is responsible for communicating with the editorial office and confirming that all co-authors agree to the submission. Any proposed changes to authorship must be justified and approved by the relevant authors and the editorial office.

6. References, Figures, and Tables

Authors must provide accurate references and acknowledge all sources used in their work. References should follow the citation style specified by the respective journal.

Figures, tables, charts, and illustrations should be clearly presented, appropriately numbered, and accompanied by descriptive captions. Authors must obtain permission for copyrighted material reproduced or adapted from other sources.

7. Research Ethics and Declarations

Research involving human participants, animals, or identifiable personal information must comply with applicable ethical standards and institutional requirements.

Where relevant, manuscripts should include ethical approval details, informed consent statements, clinical trial registration information, funding declarations, acknowledgements, and conflict-of-interest disclosures.

8. Manuscript Submission

Authors should submit manuscripts through the designated journal submission system or the official communication channel provided by the editorial office.

Before submission, authors must ensure that the manuscript is complete, properly formatted, and accompanied by the required supporting documents and declarations.

9. Editorial Assessment and Peer Review

All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial assessment to determine their suitability, relevance, originality, and compliance with journal requirements.

Manuscripts considered suitable may proceed to the peer-review process specified by the respective journal. Editorial decisions may include acceptance, minor revision, major revision, or rejection, depending on the scholarly quality of the manuscript and the reviewers' recommendations.

10. Article Processing Charges (APC)

QuiLive Publishers follows an open-access publishing model in which readers can access published articles without subscription or individual article purchase charges.

To support editorial administration, peer-review coordination, manuscript processing, production, digital hosting, and publication activities, an Article Processing Charge (APC) may apply to manuscripts accepted for publication.

The applicable APC varies depending on the journal and its publication fee schedule. The relevant charges and any available discounts or waiver arrangements are communicated to authors through the respective journal website or editorial office.

Important APC conditions:

• Applicable APC details are communicated to authors before payment is requested.
• APC payment is generally requested after the manuscript has received an acceptance decision.
• Payment of an APC does not guarantee manuscript acceptance.
• Editorial decisions are made independently of an author's willingness or ability to pay.
• Any approved waiver or discount must be confirmed by the editorial office.
• Publication proceeds after the applicable payment and required publication formalities have been completed.

Article Processing Charges by Manuscript Type

• Research and Review Articles: USD 1,350 / EURO 1,519 / GBP 1,219 / INR 9,899.
• Case Reports: USD 1,250 / EURO 1,399 / GBP 1,019 / INR 7,999.
• Other Manuscript Types: USD 1,199 / EURO 1,019 / GBP 919 / INR 5,999.

11. Rapid Peer-Review Charges

QuiLive Publishers may offer an expedited manuscript-handling option for authors who require a faster editorial processing schedule, subject to the availability of editors and qualified reviewers.

Where offered, a separate rapid peer-review or expedited-processing charge may apply. This charge covers the additional administrative coordination and resources required to facilitate an expedited review arrangement.

The following conditions apply:

• Rapid review is subject to editorial approval and reviewer availability.
• The applicable fee and expected processing timeframe will be communicated before the service is confirmed.
• Payment for expedited processing does not guarantee acceptance or a favourable review outcome.
• All manuscripts remain subject to the same academic quality, ethical, and editorial evaluation standards.
• The editor retains full authority over the final editorial decision.
• If expedited processing cannot be provided, the editorial office should communicate the available alternatives and applicable refund arrangements.

An expedited review request does not replace the standard peer-review requirements or influence the reviewers' independent assessments.

12. Manuscript Withdrawal and Withdrawal Charges

Authors who wish to withdraw a submitted manuscript must send a formal written request to the respective journal's editorial office, clearly stating the reason for withdrawal. Requests should preferably be made by the corresponding author with the agreement of all co-authors.

Authors must obtain written confirmation from the editorial office before considering the manuscript officially withdrawn.

Withdrawal conditions:

• Before peer review: Withdrawal requests will be considered according to the journal's editorial procedures.
• During peer review: Authors must submit a formal withdrawal request and await written confirmation.
• After acceptance: Withdrawal requests will be reviewed individually, considering the manuscript's editorial and production status.
• After publication: A published article cannot ordinarily be treated as a routine withdrawal. Any necessary action will follow the applicable correction, retraction, or publication ethics procedures.

Withdrawal Charges:

Where applicable, a manuscript withdrawal or administrative processing charge may be imposed in accordance with the respective journal's published fee schedule and withdrawal policy. Any such charge must be clearly communicated to authors before submission or before the relevant chargeable service is undertaken.

Withdrawal charges, where applicable, should reflect disclosed administrative or processing costs and should not be used to prevent authors from reporting legitimate ethical concerns or exercising their publication rights.

13. Duplicate Submission

Authors must not submit the same manuscript simultaneously to multiple journals while it is under active consideration at QuiLive Publishers.

If authors decide to submit elsewhere, they must first request withdrawal and obtain written confirmation from the editorial office. Cases involving duplicate submission, duplicate publication, or other publication ethics concerns will be handled according to the journal's ethical policies.

14. Final Submission Checklist

• The manuscript is relevant to the selected journal's scope.
