3. Drive Engagement Metrics

   • Inform potential readers about novel findings to determine further reading

Composition Guidelines

Each highlight shall:
✓ Emphasize methodological novelty or paradigm-shifting findings
✓ Quantify impacts where applicable (e.g., "30% efficiency improvement")
✓ Avoid acronyms and field-specific jargon

Article Type Specifications

This journal accepts the following article types. If you have research that falls within our scope but does not fit into one of the categories listed below, please contact us to discuss its suitability for publication.

Research Article

Research articles present original research findings that make a significant contribution to the field. These articles should include an abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, and conclusion. Research articles are typically longer, providing detailed background information, comprehensive methodologies, extensive results, and in-depth discussion.
Word count: at least 5,000 words; Abstract: 200–250 words.

Review Article

Review articles provide a critical and comprehensive analysis of the current state of research on a specific topic. They summarize and synthesize existing studies, identify trends and gaps, and offer recommendations for future research. Review articles are valuable for researchers seeking a thorough understanding of a particular field.
Word count: at least 6,000 words; Abstract: 200–250 words.

Short Communication

Short communications present concise reports on novel and significant findings. They are suitable for reporting preliminary results, innovative methods, or interesting case studies that do not warrant a full-length article. Short communications are typically shorter than research articles and include figures, tables, and references, following a structure similar to that of a research article.
Word count: 1,000–2,000 words; Abstract: 200–250 words.

Editorial

Editorials are non-peer-reviewed articles used to announce the launch of a new journal, a new editor-in-chief, a special issue, or invited commentaries. They are brief articles written by the journal editor or invited experts, offering commentary or opinion on current issues, trends, or policies relevant to the journal's scope. Editorials aim to stimulate discussion and provide insight or perspective on the field. These articles are typically short and do not include original research data.
Word count: 1,000–2,000 words.

Structure of Main Manuscript

This document provides guidelines for authors submitting manuscripts to ensure a smooth and efficient submission process. While strict adherence to these guidelines is not mandatory, following them will help expedite the copyediting and proofreading processes and improve the readability of the manuscript during peer review.

The section titles provided below are specific to Research Articles. Review Articles and other article types may follow a more flexible structure.

Title

The title should not exceed 20 words. Authors are encouraged to use concise and informative titles that clearly reflect the content of the manuscript. Titles should avoid the use of obscure jargon, abbreviations, and excessive punctuation.

Abstract

The abstract should be limited to a maximum of 250 words and should provide a concise summary of the research. It should be structured into the following components: Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions, and Significance. The abstract must be self-contained and accessible to a broad academic audience. For this reason, references are not permitted in the abstract.

Keywords

Authors should include 3–8 keywords following the abstract, separated by semicolons. These keywords should avoid repetition of words already used in the title. Authors are advised to search for similar keywords in academic journals and databases to ensure that the selected keywords are commonly used in the field. If the search results do not include relevant articles, the keywords should be revised to improve their searchability.

The title, abstract, and keywords are essential for indexing and retrieval purposes. Therefore, they should be clear, concise, and engaging.

Introduction

This section should provide a literature-based overview of the background, current status, and unresolved issues in the field. It should clearly highlight the rationale, objectives, and significance of the study.

Section Headings

Section headings, subheadings, and sub-subheadings should be clearly differentiated using numbering. Use boldface for all headings and subheadings, and distinguish them numerically as follows:

• Main headings: 1, 2, 3, etc.
• Subheadings: 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, etc.

Materials and Methods

This section should describe in sufficient detail the procedures and techniques used to obtain the research results. It should be written with clarity and precision to allow for reproducibility of the study. All references to previous studies or experimental methods must be clearly cited.

Results

This section should present the findings of the experiments in a clear and organized manner. Discussion of the results should be limited or omitted in this section.

Discussion

In this section, the results should be interpreted and discussed in detail. Authors should address the direct and indirect implications of their findings, their relevance to existing knowledge, and their potential applications. Suggestions for future research may also be included. The discussion should not repeat the content of the results section. A combined Results and Discussion section is acceptable when appropriate.

Conclusions

This section should summarize the key findings of the study and emphasize their importance and relevance to the field. It should also highlight the implications for future research.

Author Contributions

If a manuscript has multiple authors, a brief paragraph should be included to describe the individual contributions of each author. This section is intended to confirm that all authors have made a significant and intellectual contribution to the manuscript. In the case of a single author, this section is not required.
