Manuscript Types
The journal accepts Original Research Articles, Review Articles, Short Communications, Letters to the Editor, Case Studies, and Editorials.
Free-Format Initial Submission
Authors are not required to follow a specific journal template, typesetting style, or reference format for initial submission. Manuscripts may be submitted in any clear, consistent, and standard academic format suitable for editorial assessment and peer review.
Formatting After Acceptance
Following acceptance, authors are required to provide an editable Microsoft Word or LaTeX source file suitable for publication production. The accepted manuscript should be clearly organized and appropriately formatted, including the text, tables, figures, references, author information, and required publication statements.

Authors who require professional assistance with formatting, technical preparation, LaTeX typesetting, or preparation of publication-ready files may request the journal's optional Publication Production and Technical Service. A charge of USD 50 per manuscript applies for this optional service, in addition to the applicable Article Processing Charge (APC).
