In summary, independent research submissions serve the purpose of sharing original research findings with the scientific community for review and publication. To submit your research, you must follow the specific guidelines and submission process of the chosen journal or conference, which typically involves preparing a manuscript and providing supporting materials. It is possible to submit to multiple publications, but it is important to check their guidelines for simultaneous submissions. The review process for independent research can vary greatly in length, ranging from a few weeks to several months, with the option for expedited review for an additional fee. If your submission is rejected, you will receive feedback from the reviewers to help improve your research for future submissions.

I am having a problem with the rules in that I cannot submit the whole of my research in one article due to the limit placed on the size of attachments. Am I misreading the rules or is there a solution to this problem?
