Concise, informative, and reflective of key findings.
Structured or unstructured (250–300 words), summarizing objectives, methods, results, and conclusions.
4–6 relevant terms for indexing.
Background, research gap, objectives.
Detailed methodology allowing reproducibility.
Clear presentation of findings (figures and tables recommended).
Interpretation, relevance, and comparison with existing literature.
Summary of key insights.

Manuscripts must be written in English; submissions in any other language will not be accepted. If necessary, authors are encouraged to use professional language editing services before submission
Submit the main text as Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx).
Use double line spacing, 12-point font (e.g., Cambria or similar)
All pages must be consecutively numbered, and continuous line numbering must be maintained throughout the manuscript
The main text of research articles should typically be organized as
1. Title Page
2. Abstract and Keywords
3. Main Text
4. Introduction
5. Materials and Methods or Methodology
6. Results
7. Discussion
8. Conclusion (optional but recommended)
9. Acknowledgements
10. Funding
11. Conflicts of Interest
12. Data Availability Statement
13. Author Contributions (optional but recommended)
14. References
15. Tables and Figures (with captions)
16. Supplementary Material (if any
Place the abstract on a separate page after the title page.
Word limit: up to 250 words for most articles (as specified under manuscript type).
Structured Abstract is recommended for research articles, with headings such as:
Provide 3–6 keywords immediately after the abstract. Use internationally recognized terms and avoid overly broad or highly technical jargon when possible
Clearly state the background, rationale, and objectives of the study.
Summarize relevant literature and identify gaps addressed by the current work
Describe study design, participants/samples, data collection, analytical methods, and statistical procedures. Include information on ethical approvals and informed consent where applicable.
Present results in a clear and logical sequence. Refer to tables and figures only when necessary and avoid duplication of data in text and tables/figures
Interpret and contextualize findings with respect to existing literature. Discuss strengths and limitations of the study. Highlight implications for theory, practice, or policy, and potential future directions
Provide a brief, focused statement of the main findings and their significance. Should not simply repeat the abstract
Acknowledge individuals or organizations who contributed to the work but do not qualify for authorship (e.g., technical support, language editing)
Provide details of all funding sources in any, including grant numbers and the name of the funding body. If the work received no specific funding, state: “This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors”.
Include a statement such as “Author A has received…; Author B is employed by…;” etc., or “The authors declare no competing interests”.
The journal uses the Vancouver reference style. Citations must be indicated in the text using numerical superscripts (e.g., ¹,²,³) in the order of their first appearance. The full reference list must be arranged in corresponding numerical order at the end of the manuscript.
In-Text reference style: Citations in the text should be indicated using numerical superscripts.

& make sure all in-text citations appear in the reference list and vice versa
General
All figures and tables must be cited in the text in numerical order
Each should have a descriptive caption and sufficient information to be understood independently of the main text
