When you make a sumission you need to choose between submitting your work to the Articles, Miscellaneous or Reviews section.

Every submission must be accompanied by a "cover letter", entered in the "Comments to the editor" section or uploaded separately, where you must state why the paper would appeal our readership and propose at least two potential reviewers who are not from the same university of the author and that have not published with them.
