2. Author Information
The names of all authors must be written without academic titles and placed below the article title. Authors must include their institutional affiliation, country, and a valid correspondence e-mail address. In multi-author manuscripts, all communication will be conducted with the corresponding author.

Manuscripts should be prepared using the following format:

• Font: Times New Roman
• Font size: 12 pt

• Keywords (3–5 keywords)
• Introduction
• Method
• Results
• Discussion

5. References
References should primarily come from recent scholarly sources. Authors are encouraged to cite literature published within the last 10 years. A minimum of 20 references is recommended, with most references originating from peer-reviewed journal articles.

Manuscripts that do not meet these requirements may be rejected during the initial editorial screening.

9. Editorial Decision
The editorial board reserves the right to accept, request revisions, or reject submitted manuscripts. The final decision will be communicated to the corresponding author via the journal submission system.

10. Copyright and Responsibility
Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts do not infringe any copyright, intellectual property rights, or ethical standards. Any legal consequences related to the content of the manuscript remain the responsibility of the authors.
