Writing Rules

Manuscript Submission Guidelines

  • Originality and Exclusivity: Submitted manuscripts must be entirely original works that have not been simultaneously considered for publication in any other venue.
  • Conference Paper Adaptations: Previously presented conference papers may be submitted only after comprehensive rewriting. Authors must secure and provide appropriate copyright clearances from the original copyright holder when applicable.
  • Submission Limitations: The journal does not accept brief communications, research notes, or abbreviated research summaries.
  • Author Collaboration and Consent: Every author is required to confirm they have thoroughly reviewed the manuscript's content and provide explicit agreement to its submission and potential publication.
  • Publication Ethics: A comprehensive Publication Ethics statement is available for authors' reference and review.
  • Open Access Publishing: This is an Open Access journal. Authors can retain their work's copyright by paying an Article Processing Charge (APC), which enables wide dissemination of their research.

    All manuscripts submitted to this journal must be written in English. Authors carry the full responsibility for ensuring linguistic quality, which includes thoroughly checking, editing, and correcting the language in both new and original submissions as well as revised articles. The journal typically expects manuscripts to be between 6,000 and 8,000 words, with this word count calculation excluding figures, tables, and references. While this is the preferred length range, the journal remains open to high-quality submissions that may exceed 8,000 words. Throughout the writing process, authors are strongly encouraged to craft their manuscripts as concisely as possible without sacrificing clarity or comprehensiveness, focusing on presenting their research in the most direct and understandable manner.
