Author Guidelines

Types of Submissions
The journal accepts original research papers, comprehensive reviews, and short communications that have not been submitted elsewhere and will not be submitted to any other journal.

Manuscript Preparation
Authors are required to follow the journal's specific guidelines. Figures and tables must be provided separately from the text but within a single document. A cover letter must be uploaded along with the main manuscript.

Language
Manuscripts should be written in English. Authors whose first language is not English should consider having a native English speaker review the manuscript for language accuracy, including spelling and grammar. 

Originality
The manuscript must represent original work. It is recommended that authors use plagiarism detection software, such as TURNITIN, to ensure that the manuscript's similarity to other publications is below 30%. Manuscripts with a similarity above this threshold will not be considered.

Title Page

  • Title: Should be concise and written with only the first word capitalized. 
  • Author Names and Affiliations: List authors and co-authors correctly, using superscripts to indicate their affiliations, and provide full postal addresses for each.
  • Corresponding Author: Clearly indicate the corresponding author with an asterisk (*) and include only their email address.

Formatting and Style

  • Manuscripts must be formatted in accordance with the provided template.
  • Abstract: Should briefly summarize the problem addressed, study objectives, methods (including experimental design), results, conclusions, and suggestions for future research. Limit the abstract to 200 words.
  • Keywords: Provide 3-6 relevant keywords, separated by commas.
  • Introduction: The introduction should clearly outline the problem, research gap, study objectives, and expected outcomes, with proper references.
  • Materials and Methods: Describe only the essential techniques, citing references for standard methods and noting any modifications. Include details on equipment (brand and model) and materials (with supplier information).
  • Results and Discussion: Results and discussion should be integrated. Results must be presented clearly, with an explanation of their significance in the discussion.
  • Conclusion: Summarize the main findings and answer the research question/objective. Avoid repeating the discussion, but suggestions for future research can be included.
  • Acknowledgements: Acknowledge individuals or institutions that contributed to the success of the research, such as funders, volunteers, or proofreaders.
  • References:
    • Follow the Harvard APA style for in-text citations and references.
    • References should include at least 80% journal articles and no more than 20% from other sources.
    • Use reference management tools like EndNote or Mendeley for consistency.
    • Organize references alphabetically by the authors' last names. For multiple references by the same author, arrange them chronologically.

Reference Style
Books, electronic books, journal articles, and other sources should be cited following specific formats, such as:

  • Books: Author, Year of Publication. Title. Publisher.
  • Journal Articles: Author, Year. Title of the article. Title of Journal, Volume (Issue), page range.
  • Website Material: Author, Year. Title of Webpage. Retrieved [Date], from [URL].

Tables, Figures, and Photographs

  • Tables and figures should be included on separate pages after the references. They should be numbered consecutively and captioned appropriately.
  • Photographs must be high-resolution (at least 300 dpi). Limit the total number of tables and figures to 5, unless submitting a review article.
