In the evaluation process of articles submitted for publication, academic neutrality and scientific merit are essential criteria. Therefore, authors should ensure that their manuscripts comply with the principles outlined in the International Standards for Editors and Authors of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).

Important: Authors bear full responsibility for all content produced using AI tools. Please review the journal’s AI Policy before submission.

Note: To enhance article visibility, once a manuscript is accepted, the layout process is carried out promptly, and the article is published online without delay.
