Submissions must be original, not under consideration elsewhere, and should fit the scope of the journal as described in the About section. Manuscripts should be prepared in Microsoft Word (DOC or DOCX) format and adhere to the following formatting:

- Use clear, concise language in English.
- Manuscripts should be double-spaced, with 12‑point font size (preferably Times New Roman or a similar serif font), and 2.5 cm margins.
- Include an abstract (150–250 words) and 4–6 keywords.
- Structure research articles into the following sections: Introduction, Literature Review/Background, Methodology, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, and References.
- Figures and tables must be numbered consecutively and placed within the text at appropriate points. Provide captions underneath figures and above tables.
- Citations and references should follow the APA (7th edition) style. Include DOIs for all references where available.
