Core submission structure

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.

The online system accepts PDF, DOC and DOCX files; the abstract and keywords are also entered separately, so core metadata should remain consistent between the manuscript and submission form.

Editorial screening

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