Submit in the format you already write, in minutes. You upload the manuscript, the system reads it and pre-fills the forms, and you verify rather than re-type. What we ask for is a reproducibility package, as complete as your data allow. It is what this journal is built on. Where privacy limits what can be shared, your paper still earns a badge, marked for what could and could not be verified.
Formats
- Quarto, R Markdown or Jupyter (preferred). One executable source is the strongest reproducibility substrate and earns the full verification treatment.
- LaTeX (accepted). Code and data are supplied as a separate bundle.
- Word (accepted). Code and data go in a separate bundle, and the article earns a reproducibility badge reflecting what we could verify.
There is no forced template. Whatever tool you write in, we turn it into the published HTML and PDF. You focus on the science.
How to submit
Sign in at submit.fairpressjournals.com with your email address. A 6-digit code is emailed to you, no password required. Upload the manuscript as a PDF plus either a bundle (zip) or a link to your repository. The executable source, code and data live in the bundle or repository, not the manuscript file. The system scans the upload and pre-fills the title, abstract, keywords, authors and more as clearly marked suggestions. You confirm each one and add anything missing.
What submission requires
- Article type: new method, applied, simulation, replication, null or negative finding, theory, or software.
- Title, abstract (up to 400 words), and 4–6 keywords.
- Authors: every author with name and affiliation, and exactly one corresponding author with a reachable email address. ORCID iDs are optional at submission (validated if given) and required before acceptance.
- The reproducibility package. For new-method, applied and simulation
papers, submission requires the code's location (bundle or repository) and the
one entry-point command that regenerates the results, for example
Rscript run_all.Rormake. The environment specification, data details and determinism (seeds) are collected too and confirmed before acceptance. Replication, null-finding, theory and software papers provide the artifacts that exist for them, or a documented exemption with the protocol followed. See data & code availability. - Replications additionally name the target work (DOI) and the replication protocol.
- Disclosures: data and code availability, AI use, funding, competing interests, and ethics approval where applicable. You choose from set options, and only the disclosures that apply to your paper appear. Each needs an answer, and a declared "none" is a valid one.
- Two attestations: that the reference list is real and checked, and that the entered metadata matches the manuscript.
What happens next
Incomplete submissions come back with the specific missing items named, not a generic rejection. Complete submissions enter review, with disclosed AI-assisted assessment, a reviewer panel, reproduction of your results, and a decision read and signed by a named editor. The full process is in the peer-review policy. Review is built to be fast. We publish our actual decision times on the journal page once enough decisions exist.
Fees
There is no submission fee. Publication is funded by an APC on acceptance, with need-blind waivers. Amounts and rules are on the fees & waivers page.
