Authors are encouraged to use the “Article Submission System” to submit their articles electronically at any time throughout the year. Submitted articles must be entirely original and should not have been previously published or be under consideration elsewhere. The articles’ content needs to align with the journal’s scope. After submission, each article will undergo a double-anonymized peer-review process. The final decision to accept articles after peer review rests with the editor, who will ensure that they meet the journal’s criteria for quality and originality.

Authors can use helpful tools such as Grammarly or similar applications to examine their work for grammatical or spelling errors meticulously. Since this is an open-access journal, authors must submit an Article Processing Charge (APC) to have their articles published and maintain control over the copyright. Authors are also encouraged to familiarize themselves with the journal’s editorial and publishing policies before submission.

Once the article has undergone a comprehensive peer-review process, during which experts in the field evaluate its quality and validity, and all necessary documentation has been submitted and verified, it will be promptly published online for public access. Following this, the editorial team will assign the article to a particular issue (see archive) and provide authors with updates on its status. Additionally, if the article aligns with a specific theme or topic, the editor may invite the authors to contribute to a special issue.
