Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts to this journal. The journal follows a double-blind peer review process, meaning that the identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential throughout the review.

After Submission:

  1. Initial Editorial Screening
    Upon submission, the Editor conducts an initial assessment to determine whether the manuscript:

    • Fits the journal’s aims and scope

    • Meets basic standards of quality and originality

    Manuscripts that are poorly written, out of scope, or fail to meet minimum requirements may be rejected at this stage without external review.

  2. Peer Review
    Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to expert reviewers for double-blind peer review.

Formatting and Style Requirements

Citation and Referencing style
Authors are required to format their manuscripts consistently in either APA (for social sciences) or MLA (for humanities) style throughout the submission. Please select one style guide and adhere to it rigorously—mixing elements from both APA and MLA is not permitted. Ensure all citations, references, headings, and formatting details conform fully to the chosen style’s latest edition. Failure to maintain stylistic consistency may result in delayed review or editorial revision.
