Submissions

Author Guidelines

Starting in 2021, our journal will only publish manuscripts in English. We encourage authors to thoroughly review the submission guidelines provided below to ensure alignment with the journal's standards. To ensure a smooth submission process, please adhere to the following author guidelines:

1) Note the following before submitting your papers:

• Manuscript Preparation: Submit original, unpublished work that is not under review elsewhere. Plagiarism, data manipulation, or any kind of research misconduct are strictly prohibited.
• Formatting Requirements: Ensure that submitted research papers adhere to the Manuscript Template. Include sections on the content of your paper. See our Manuscript Template.
• Submission Process: Please submit your manuscript electronically through our online submission system. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided to complete your submission.
• Ethical Considerations: Adhere to ethical standards in research and paper preparation in general. Disclose any Conflicts of Interest or competing interests. For this purpose, the author(s) shall fulfill the Authors' Statement. The authors' statement can then be submitted along with your paper as a supplementary file.
• Copyright Ownership: Upon acceptance of the manuscript, authors retain the copyright of their work but grant the journal an exclusive license to publish the article. This allows the journal to distribute the work globally. Authors have the right to share their published work (e.g., in institutional repositories or personal websites) as long as the final published version and a link to the journal’s website are provided.
• Language: Submissions should be written in clear, concise English. Ensure proper grammar and syntax. We recommend having your manuscript reviewed by a native speaker or a professional editing service if needed.
• Peer-Review Process: Submitted papers will undergo a rigorous peer-review process. Authors may be required to address reviewer feedback. The decision of acceptance or rejection will be communicated promptly.
• Authorship and Acknowledgments: List all authors and their contributions after the Acknowledge Section (if any) or after the Conclusion Section. Acknowledge funding sources and individuals who contributed but did not meet authorship criteria.
• Post-Publication Corrections: If errors are identified post-publication, authors may request Retraction and Corrections. Corrections will be assessed for significance and accuracy before implementation.
• Publication and Open Access: Accepted papers will be published on our platform. Authors should be aware of the journal's open-access policy.
• Additional: Submissions that are inappropriate for the manuscript template will be declined. Take note: We mostly reject submissions due to this reason.

2) The Content of the paper

Title: The title should be concise, informative, and written clearly.

Abstract: The abstract must consist of a brief statement about the purpose of your study, a concise description of the research design, participants, procedures, and analytical techniques used, a summary of the key findings of the research, and the implications or significance of the findings, including any recommendations for future research or practical applications. It must not be more than 250 words.

Introduction: It must contain (shortly and consecutively) a general background and a literature review (state of the art) as the basis of the brand new research question, statements of the brand new scientific article, main research problems, and previous findings related to the manuscript. This section should provide a clear background and context for the study. Authors should state the research question or hypothesis and the objectives of the study. The introduction sets the stage for why the research is important and how it contributes to the field.

Methods: Describe the methodology used in the study in detail. This includes information on the research design, participants/respondents, materials, procedures, and analytical techniques. The goal is to provide enough information for other researchers to replicate the study.

Result and Discussion: Present the findings of the research clearly and concisely. Use tables, figures, and charts where appropriate to illustrate key data points. Results should be presented without interpretation. Interpret and explain the results of the study by discussing how the findings align with or differ from previous research, explore the implications of the results, and suggest areas for future research. This section should also address any limitations of the study.

Conclusion: This is the final part, containing the conclusion of the study. The conclusion will be the answers to the hypothesis, the research purposes, and the research discoveries. The conclusions should not contain only the repetition of the results and discussions. It should be a summary of the research results, as the author expects from the research purposes or the hypothesis.

References: We fully recommend authors use reference management tools like Mendeley, Zotero, EndNote, etc. All the cited works must be properly listed in the Reference section. We encourage the manuscript to cite at least 30 references, of which 80% are primary sources from reputable database sources (e.g., Scopus, Web of Science, etc.). The cited works are the latest research and must contain references from various countries.
