2. Manuscript Submission

  • Manuscripts must be submitted through the online submission system (OJS).

  • The manuscript file should be in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx).

  • Ensure all author information is removed from the main manuscript file to preserve anonymity for peer review.

3. Manuscript Structure
Manuscripts should be structured as follows:

  • Title (concise and informative)

  • Abstract (150–250 words)

  • Keywords (3–6 keywords)

  • Introduction

5. Figures and Tables

  • Each figure and table must have a clear title and source (if applicable).

  • Ensure figures are of high resolution (minimum 300 dpi).

6. Ethical Considerations

  • Authors must adhere to ethical guidelines in research and publication.

  • Any research involving human or animal subjects must include ethical clearance or approval.

  • Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable and will result in rejection.
