For Author’s convenience Bentham has developed templates to help you prepare your manuscript.

Please submit your article online. An online submission and tracking service via Internet facilitates a speedy and cost-effective submission of manuscripts. The full manuscript has to be submitted online via Bentham's Manuscript Processing System (MPS) at (bentham.manuscriptpoint.com/). The link “Submit Manuscript Online” leads you directly to the submission system used by that journal.

The Manuscript Processing System (MPS) is a web-based manuscript submission and tracking system developed by Bentham Science Publishers for efficient, fast and cost effective processing of submitted manuscripts. MPS has been designed with the objective to ensure step-by-step online processing and tracking of manuscripts for authors, editors and the publisher; from submission to acceptance and final reproduction.

Each manuscript submission will be followed by a confirmation email to the corresponding author. Authors may track all the stages of publication online until their manuscript is finalized and is ready for publication. Log onto MPS and click the article title from the available list of your submitted manuscripts to view the detailed status at every stage of peer-review and editorial decision.

Most journals generally convey the editorial decision on the submission within two to three months from the initiation of the peer-review process. Time duration of the peer-review process varies due to factors such as availability and promptness of the reviewers approached to carry out reviewing of the submission. For the duration of the review process, the submission appears in the “In Review” section of the Manuscript Processing System (MPS).

For the majority of Bentham journals, publishing an article is free of charge. If a journal requires page charges, you will find them on the journal's Instructions for Authors.

Interested reviewers are expected to submit their comments online via Bentham's Manuscript Processing System (MPS) at (bentham.manuscriptpoint.com/). Reviewers will log in to their respective MPS accounts and click on the “Yes, I agree to review” button to carry out the review. Clicking the “Yes, I agree to review” button will open the Review Form. Here you can download the manuscript file at once or individually, and you can also read the online version of the manuscript. Once the Reviewer Evaluation form is filled, click on the “Save” button. A “Thank You!” message will appear when you click on it. The reviewer can go back to the dashboard by clicking on the “Back to Dashboard” button.

The reviewers will receive a notification email requesting peer-reviewing of the assigned manuscript. Interested reviewers can respond directly to the email showing their consent for review. Once a reviewer agrees to review the assigned manuscript, he/she will receive the login details of MPS via email from the Editorial Manager.
