Authors are required to thoroughly review these guidelines to ensure their research fully aligns with the journal’s scope and editorial policies. Compliance with these protocols not only expedites the peer-review process but also safeguards the academic integrity of the work within the global research community. By submitting a manuscript, authors acknowledge and agree to the following terms:
Originality: The submitted manuscript must be an original work by the author(s) and must not have been previously published, in whole or in part, in any other journal, book, conference proceeding, or scientific medium.

Any changes to the author list or the order of authorship after the review process has commenced require a formal request and the Editor-in-Chief’s approval.
