Articles
Section default policy
Review Articles
Review Articles aim to provide a comprehensive summary, critical analysis, and synthesis of the current state of research in a specific topic area. Submissions should analyze the existing literature, identify gaps, and suggest future research directions. Authors may use AI tools to retrieve literature, classify themes, generate reports, or assist in analysis, but they must clearly acknowledge such use in the manuscript. Importantly, authors are required to explicitly highlight their own contributions, demonstrating which parts involve original interpretation, critical analysis, or synthesis done by them. Review Articles are open to all authors, typically range from 5,000 to 7,000 words, and undergo double-blind peer review. Accepted review types include systematic reviews, narrative reviews, and survey papers.
Research Articles
Research Articles are intended to publish original research presenting novel findings, methodologies, experiments, or theoretical contributions. Submissions should include an Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, and References. Manuscripts must present work that is original and not under consideration elsewhere. Research Articles are open to all authors, typically range from 6,000 to 8,000 words (excluding references and figures), and undergo double-blind peer review. Any use of AI tools in manuscript preparation, such as grammar or formatting assistance, must be disclosed in the Declarations section, but the scientific content must be entirely the authors’ own work.
