Pre-Submission Preflight (jibs-submission)

When to trigger

• "We're submitting this week" — the last check before submitting
• Unsure what the JIBS portal requires (anonymized manuscript, title page, DAS)
• Need to confirm double-blind anonymization is complete
• Verifying the manuscript matches the JIBS Style Guide and the inclusive word limit

Current limits, platform, fees, and policy wording below were refreshed from official JIBS/Springer/AIB pages on 2026-06-20. Re-verify the live submission-guidelines page and JIBS Style Guide before submitting.
