In order to ensure a smooth collaboration we would like to inform you that the process of publication as of January 1, 2019, has changed and there is a full essay, written by the editor in chief, describing the reasons and the thinking behind these changes titled: “Publishing the Unpublishable”.
Please note that although we are very interested in publishing your work, nevertheless you will have to submit your essay properly formatted and with endnotes, references, and a bibliography that respect the Chicago Manual of Style. https://leoalmanac.org/lea-referencing-style/

If we will realize from your poor compliance that there is no commitment to the publication of your work, we will be obliged to issues a rejection.
We understand that every journal has a different style and that your first submission may not wholly respect the guidelines.

Once we have accepted your essay the editors will make a formal review of structure – if your essay does not comply we will ask you to go through this document once again and ensure that your paper is in full compliance, before making comments on its content.

We hope that you understand that there are many authors whose academic careers are dependent upon timely publication of their papers.
