Submission intelligenceStudy v1.0
The instruction you need is rarely on the first page you open.
Every journal in this five-journal study required multiple official surfaces to resolve the submission job. Four required three: one for fit, another for the package, and another for policy or editorial context.
This is a purposive study, not a prevalence estimate. Official pages control, and publisher access can change.

Five source paths
Trace each decision to the page that actually resolves it
Filter by the decision you are trying to make. Each source role and decision label is a Manusights classification; the linked pages are the official evidence surfaces.

What the pattern means
The useful work is reconciliation, not transcription
Fit and files have different owners
The journal overview can establish subject fit while a publisher-wide author center controls files, declarations, and upload mechanics.
Policy can sit above the journal
Anonymization, peer-review models, and disclosure rules may live on society or publisher pages rather than the journal home.
Editorials can change the real genre test
A technically eligible article type may still depend on an editorial definition of contribution, synthesis, or department fit.
Continue the workflow
Once the rules are reconciled, pressure-test the manuscript.
The Free Readiness Scan checks the argument, evidence, fit, and presentation risks the administrative pages cannot resolve.
