Manuscripts should be submitted via the editorial online submission and peer-review system available at https://pjohns.pso-hns. org/index.php/pjohns. Authors must first register to use the site. There are NO article processing charges or fees for submission, editing, review, and publication.

Authors must submit, along with the manuscript, scanned duly-accomplished authorship statements, disclosure statements and copyright transfer forms explained under the “Instructions to Authors” section of the journal, available in print with each issue, or online from http://journal.pso-hns.org/author-forms/ No manuscript will be reviewed until the signed authorship and disclosure statements and copyright transfer forms are received.

Manuscripts are subjected to iThenticate® plagiarism detection software and reviewed by editors and other experts in the field and may be proofread, content- and form- edited and returned for revision. Manuscripts are subjected to a double blinded external peer-review process, guided by the “Responsibilities and Rights of Peer Reviewers” contained in the Editorial Policy Statements Approved by the Council of Science Editors Board of Directors available from: https://www. councilscienceeditors.org/. Reviewers must maintain confidentiality about the manuscripts and should not use data from such manuscripts or share such data with colleagues before they are published. Reviewers must not reproduce the manuscript for any purpose or use the peer review process as a means to further their own research aims, by requiring authors to respond to questions that are of interest to the reviewer but are not questions the study was designed to answer. Reviewers should refrain from suggesting their own published work be referenced.
