Please ensure that you submit editable/source files only (Microsoft Word or RTF) and that your document does NOT include page numbers; the Security Dialogue SAGETRACK system will generate them for you, and then automatically convert your manuscript to PDF for peer review. Furthermore, it is imperative that authors remove from their submissions any information that will identify them or their affiliations to reviewers. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revisions, will be by email.
If you would like to discuss your paper prior to submission, please contact the Managing Editor, at the following email address: sd@prio.no
Submitting a Revised Submission
Authors submitting revised manuscripts should follow the instructions above to submit through the SAGETRACK sytem. To create a revision, go to the 'Manuscripts with Decisions' option in your Author Dashboard and select 'create a revision' in the 'Action' column. Authors of all revised submissions should, when prompted, provide information explaining the changes in your manuscript. As this will be provided to reviewers, it is important that authors do not identify themselves in these responses.
