For Authors

Authors’ Responsibilities

Authors are fully responsible for the originality, accuracy, and integrity of their submitted work. Any form of plagiarism, data fabrication, falsification, inappropriate data manipulation, or unethical research practice is strictly prohibited. All use of previously published material, including text, figures, and data, must be properly cited and clearly acknowledged in accordance with academic standards.

Authors must not submit the same manuscript, or manuscripts with substantially overlapping content, to more than one journal at the same time. Duplicate submission and redundant publication of identical or highly similar research findings are considered unethical publishing behavior and are not permitted.

Authors are also responsible for ensuring that submitted manuscripts do not contain classified, confidential, or restricted information. Content involving political, military, or sensitive scientific and technological data that is not authorized for public disclosure must be excluded from submission.

Authorship Requirements

Authorship should be limited to individuals who have made a significant intellectual contribution to the research and manuscript preparation. All listed authors must meet internationally accepted authorship criteria, including substantial contributions to the conception or design of the study, data acquisition, analysis or interpretation, drafting or critical revision of the manuscript, and approval of the final version for publication.

All authors must agree to be listed and must approve the submitted version of the manuscript as well as any subsequent revisions. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all co-authors have reviewed and approved the manuscript and agree with its submission.

Individuals who contributed to the work but do not meet authorship criteria should be acknowledged separately in the Acknowledgements section with their permission. Guest, gift, or honorary authorship is not permitted.

Any changes to authorship, including addition, removal, or rearrangement of authors, must be approved by all authors and justified to the editorial office before publication.

Guidelines for Authors

Submission Preparation Checklist

Authors should ensure that their manuscript complies with the journal requirements prior to submission. Manuscripts that do not meet these requirements may be returned for revision or rejected at an early stage.

The manuscript must be original and not under consideration elsewhere. Any overlap with previously published or concurrently submitted work must be clearly disclosed.

Manuscripts should be prepared in Microsoft Word or the Latex format. Text should be spaced and formatted with an appropriate font size. Figures and tables should be embedded within the text at appropriate positions.

Where possible, references are encouraged to include DOIs or URLs to facilitate accessibility. The manuscript should comply with the journal’s formatting and referencing style.

Types of Articles

The journal accepts multiple types of manuscripts. There is generally no strict page limit, provided submissions are concise, complete, and scientifically rigorous.

Original Research Articles report novel findings derived from systematic investigation. They should present a clear methodology and include up-to-date references. The typical structure includes abstract, keywords, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, and conclusions.

Review Articles provide a comprehensive synthesis of existing literature in a specific field. They should critically evaluate recent developments, identify gaps, and outline future research directions. The typical structure includes abstract, keywords, introduction, thematic sections, discussion, and conclusions.

Manuscript Format Requirements

Manuscripts should be prepared using Microsoft Word or the Latex. PDF files may be used for reference during submission if required. Authors are encouraged to use equation editors for mathematical expressions.

A complete manuscript typically includes the title, author names, affiliations, corresponding author contact details, abstract, keywords, main text, tables and figures with captions, abbreviations (if applicable), acknowledgements, funding statement, author contributions, declaration of competing interests, data availability statement (if applicable), references, and optional biographical information.

All tables and figures must be cited in the text and placed close to their first mention.

Manuscript Submission

Manuscripts should be submitted through the journal’s online submission system. Authors should carefully follow all instructions provided on the journal website to ensure successful submission.

Editorial Process

All submissions undergo an initial pre-check followed by peer review where applicable. The detailed editorial workflow, including review procedures and decision-making criteria, is described in the journal’s editorial policies.

Publication Charges

Where applicable, article processing charges (APCs) are required for accepted manuscripts. These charges support editorial management, peer review coordination, production processes, and long-term open access dissemination. Detailed information regarding fees is available on the journal website.

Copyright and Permissions

Published articles are under an open access license that permits reuse and distribution with appropriate attribution. Authors generally retain copyright while granting the publisher the right to publish and disseminate the work. Full licensing terms and reuse conditions are provided on the journal website.
