Regarding republication of already published material (or material that is before consideration at another journal): JoTL allows republication of previous material if the journal where it is published in approves of that. You as author has the responsibility if this is the case.

If, after review, your contribution is approved for publication, at some point in the process you will need to place your text in this word template. You can of course also use it before you submit your contribution.
