Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts to this journal. All submissions will be evaluated by the editorial team to ensure that they align with the aims and scope of the journal. Manuscripts deemed suitable will proceed to a double-blind peer-review process before a final decision on acceptance or rejection is made.

Before submitting, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce any materials (such as figures, tables, photographs, or datasets) included in their manuscript. All listed authors must have given their explicit consent to be identified as contributors to the paper. Where applicable, research must have received prior approval from a relevant ethics committee in accordance with the legal and institutional requirements of the country in which the study was conducted.

The Editor reserves the right to perform an initial (desk) rejection of submissions that do not meet the journal’s minimum academic or technical standards. Authors are strongly encouraged to ensure that their manuscripts are well-structured, methodologically sound, and written in clear academic language. The title should be concise and informative, while the abstract should accurately summarize the study and be able to stand alone. Well-prepared manuscripts are more likely to be accepted for peer review.
