After pressing the "continue" button, you will be presented with four screens that gather detailed information about your manuscript and allow you to upload the pertinent files.

1. A long form asking for author, title, abstract, and file quantities.
2. A screen asking for the actual file locations via an open file dialog. After completing this screen, your files will be uploaded to our server.
3. A completion screen that will provide you with a specific manuscript number for your manuscript.
4. An approval screen that will allow you to verify your manuscript uploaded and converted correctly.

While you will be notified via e-mail when a decision is reached on your manuscript, you may log in to our online manuscript submission system at any time to check on its status.
