Invitation for Scholarly Contributions

Editorial and Publication Workflow

Authors must prepare manuscripts in accordance with the journal’s paper template, formatting instructions and ethical policies. The manuscript should be complete, logically organised, appropriately referenced and carefully proofread before submission.

All author names, institutional affiliations, email addresses and corresponding-author details must be accurate. The order of authors should be finalised before submission and approved by every listed contributor.

Manuscripts that do not follow the prescribed format or that contain incomplete author information, inaccurate references or missing ethical declarations may be returned for correction.

Original research manuscripts should normally be organised in the following sequence:

The structure may be modified according to the nature, methodology and academic discipline of the submitted work. Review articles, conceptual papers, case studies and other scholarly contributions may follow a structure appropriate to their content.

Authorship should be limited to persons who have made a substantial intellectual contribution to the conception, design, execution, analysis, interpretation or preparation of the submitted work. Gift, honorary, guest and ghost authorship are unacceptable.

All listed authors must approve the final manuscript, agree to its submission and accept responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of the work. Individuals who provided limited technical, administrative or financial assistance should be acknowledged appropriately rather than listed as authors.

Any requested change in authorship after submission must be supported by a clear explanation and written agreement from all affected authors. The journal reserves the right to examine such requests before approval.

Every manuscript must represent original scholarship and must appropriately acknowledge all ideas, words, data, images, tables, findings and other material obtained from external sources.

Submitted manuscripts may be examined through similarity-checking software and manual editorial assessment. A similarity percentage will not be interpreted in isolation; the nature, location and academic significance of matched content will also be considered.

Direct plagiarism, mosaic plagiarism, inappropriate paraphrasing, translation plagiarism, data plagiarism, duplicate publication and substantial undisclosed reuse of an author’s own published material are not acceptable.

Artificial-intelligence and automated tools may be used only as supportive instruments under meaningful human supervision. Such tools must not replace original research, independent analysis, critical interpretation or scholarly judgment.

Artificial-intelligence systems cannot be listed as authors. Authors remain fully responsible for the originality, factual accuracy, references, interpretation and ethical compliance of every part of the manuscript.

Any substantial use of generative artificial intelligence for producing or materially revising text, analysis, images, code, data presentation or interpretation must be transparently disclosed.

Research involving human participants, personal data, vulnerable groups, clinical information or identifiable records must comply with applicable ethical, institutional and legal requirements. Authors should obtain ethics approval and informed consent wherever required.

The privacy, dignity, confidentiality and anonymity of participants must be protected. Identifying information should not be published unless its inclusion is essential, legally permissible and supported by informed consent.

Research involving animals must comply with applicable institutional and legal standards for humane treatment and ethical scientific use. Approval details should be included in the manuscript where relevant.

Review and Editorial Decision

Authors receiving a revision request should carefully address every relevant observation made by the reviewers or Editorial Committee. Revised manuscripts should clearly identify the changes made and should be accompanied by a point-by-point response where requested.

Where an author does not agree with a reviewer’s recommendation, a respectful and academically reasoned explanation should be provided. Unsupported refusal to make essential corrections may affect the editorial decision.

Submission of a revised manuscript does not automatically guarantee acceptance. The revised version may be examined again by the Editor or returned to the reviewers for further evaluation.
