Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to make a submission to this journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as figures, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.

Submission Preparation Checklist

Prior to submitting your manuscript, please ensure compliance with the following criteria to facilitate a smooth review process:

Appropriate Article Section Selection

Confirm that your manuscript is submitted under the correct section (e.g., full-length articles, review articles, short communications, editorials, etc.). Accurate categorization is essential for the appropriate assignment of reviewers.

Plagiarism self-check 

The journal will use the Similarity Check service provided by Crossref and powered by iThenticate to provide editors with a user-friendly tool to help detect plagiarism. Authors are reminded that a high similarity score may result in the rejection of the manuscript.

Simultaneous Submission and Prior Publication

Your manuscript must not be under consideration or published elsewhere. An exception applies only to substantially extended versions of conference or workshop papers that have been previously published or accepted, with final approval obtained.

Ethical Approval self-check

For studies involving animal subjects, human participants, or associated biological materials and data, a statement confirming ethical approval or exemption by the relevant institutional or national ethics committee is mandatory. The name of the approving committee must be explicitly provided.

Authorship list check
