 The PPCRJ permits only one corresponding author per manuscript. The corresponding author will receive all submission communication, including the editor-in-chief's decision formal email correspondence. If the manuscript is accepted, it will be accompanied by reviewer feedback and any other requirements from the journal office, with a recommended response deadline.
