Core submission requirements

Current Science Georgia’s public author guidance asks for a title, author names and affiliations, corresponding-author email, ORCID where available, abstract, keywords, structured main text and references.

PDF, DOC and DOCX files can be submitted online; the abstract and keywords are entered separately, so metadata consistency between the form and manuscript matters.

Editorial screening

Editorial screening may consider scope, academic suitability, originality, ethical compliance, technical quality and completeness.
