LANGUAGE AND FORMAT

All manuscripts must be written in clear, high-quality American English. Authors whose manuscripts may benefit from additional language editing—whether recommended by the Editor or self-identified—are encouraged to use a provisional English Language Editing service to correct grammatical or spelling errors and ensure proper scientific English usage. Authors must also ensure that their writing is free from bias, stereotypes, slang, references to dominant cultures, or cultural assumptions. Manuscripts should be written with gender neutrality in mind, and authors should avoid personal phrasing such as "we conducted a study," opting instead for more objective constructions like "a study was conducted."

All submissions must include the following sections according to the provided templates: Author Information, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Methods, Results, Conclusions, and Declarations. Tables and Figures must be embedded directly within the text at appropriate locations. Please ensure that your manuscript complies with the specific formatting requirements based on the type of submission (Original Article or Review Article).
