Authorship

Authorship is reserved for individuals who have made substantive intellectual contributions to the work, approved the final manuscript, and agreed to be accountable for their contributions.

The corresponding author must ensure that all qualifying authors are included, that no inappropriate authors are listed, and that all authors agree on authorship and author order. Other contributions should be acknowledged with the contributors’ permission.

Tables and Figures

Number tables and figures consecutively and refer to each in the text. Provide clear titles or captions and explain abbreviations where necessary.

Tables must be editable, and figures must be legible. Cite the source of reused or adapted material and obtain permission when required by the applicable licence or rights holder.

References

Use APA style consistently, following the official template. Reference management software such as Mendeley or Zotero is recommended.

Every in-text citation must have a corresponding reference entry, and every listed reference must be cited in the text. Verify author names, publication years, titles, publication details, and DOI or URL information.

Prioritise relevant scholarly sources and primary research. Foundational works may be included regardless of publication year. Fabricated references and unnecessary citation are unacceptable.

Originality and Plagiarism

All submissions undergo similarity screening using Turnitin. Authors should check their manuscripts before submission and ensure that quotations, paraphrases, data, and reused material are properly attributed.

Similarity reports are assessed in context. A similarity percentage alone does not establish plagiarism. Suspected plagiarism, redundant publication, fabrication, falsification, or other misconduct is handled under the journal’s Publication Ethics policy.

Confirmed violations may result in rejection or, after publication, correction or retraction. Where warranted, the journal may notify relevant institutions.

Peer Review and Revisions

Eligible manuscripts undergo double-blind peer review by at least two independent expert reviewers.

Authors invited to revise must submit a revised manuscript and a point-by-point response to editorial and reviewer comments within the specified deadline. Authors who require additional time should contact the editorial office before the deadline.

The editors make the final publication decision in accordance with the journal’s Peer Review Policy.
