​​Instructions for Authors

Authors are advised to carefully read the instructions provided on this page before submitting their papers to the journal. It is essential to adhere to the Manuscript Guiding Principles outlined here. Submissions are only accepted online.

Submission

Authors affirm that their paper has not been submitted for review or published elsewhere, either partially or fully. Permission from the copyright holder is required before publishing the paper in other languages.

Instructions

Authors are responsible for the content, including text, tables, and figures, unless explicit permission is obtained from the copyright holder of previously published material.

Submission of a paper indicates that authors are knowledgeable about copyright policies, journal guidelines, terms and conditions, as well as scientific and publishing ethics.

Plagiarism

Submitted manuscripts undergo a screening process for plagiarism. Plagiarism in any form is a serious breach of scholarly integrity and will not be tolerated.

Examples of plagiarism include:

• Failure to acknowledge the source when using unique concepts or phrases from another paper.
• Paraphrasing someone else's idea without proper attribution.
• Submitting the same or similar manuscript to multiple publications simultaneously (self-plagiarism).
• Copying sections from other manuscripts without proper citation.
• Attributing sources falsely.

The publisher reserves the right to re-review or reject manuscripts that are unsuitable for publication or do not meet the defined criteria.

Authors must be the copyright owner and able to sign the Author Agreement. Manuscripts should be formally withdrawn before submission to another journal.

Copyright

Authors submit a "copyright agreement form" upon manuscript acceptance. Detailed information regarding copyright transfer is sent via email to the corresponding author.

The corresponding author sends back the copyright form with a digital signature.
