Author Guidelines for Axia Scientific Publishers

Axia Scientific Publishing works to make the role of peer review easier and enjoyable. Our resources are built for you, whether you’re an early career researcher interested in beginning the review process, or an experienced peer reviewer.

Peer review is at the heart of the research process. Academics generously dedicate hours of their week to examine each other’s work, offer much-valued constructive criticism and improve the published article; helping us to transform it from a draft manuscript into the final version of record.

We're committed to recognizing the valuable and critical role performed by peer reviewers. We support your efforts by encouraging and enabling recognition of your peer review contributions.
