Brief Manuscript Writing Guidelines

In general, manuscripts should be based on primary research, outstanding critical literature reviews, or practice innovations. Manuscripts should be typed in Baskerville font, size 12, with 1.5 line spacing and 'normal' margins (approximately 2.5 cm). All text should be left-justified without right alignment. Do not insert page breaks or bold text unnecessarily. Submission of an article implies that it has not been previously published and is not under consideration elsewhere. Authors should declare this upon submission. The editorial board recommends authors to submit plagiarism check results using Turnitin or other software when submitting manuscripts to this journal.

Author Responsibilities

Authors are required to correct proofs before publication. The final manuscript accepted for publication should be considered definitive, and any subsequent corrections should be limited to typographical errors. Changes at this stage can only be made with the editorial team's approval. Text changes will not be accepted during the proof stage. It is the author's responsibility to ensure that permissions have been obtained for the use of copyrighted material from external sources, including online content. This journal prioritizes selecting articles that exhibit minimal errors in spelling, grammar, translation, and artwork preparation. To assist authors in improving and preparing their manuscripts for submission, we recommend that they review or edit their manuscripts before submission. This practice is intended to minimize errors before forwarding the manuscript to reviewers.

Reference Style

All references cited within the article text must be listed in the bibliography section. References should include those obtained from primary sources (consisting of scientific journals amounting to 80% of the entire bibliography) published within the last ten years. The remaining 20% may include research articles or research reports (theses, books, and other relevant publications). All mentioned references should be written using the Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition (Full Note) and arranged alphabetically from A to Z. To format citations and bibliography, it is recommended to use reference management software such as Zotero, Mendeley, or EndNote.
