Author Guidelines

Originality Requirements

• Submissions must present original, unpublished research.
• The paper must not be under review elsewhere.
• Extended versions of published papers are not allowed unless substantially revised (minimum 60% new content). In that case, the authors must highlight the changes and also merge the accepted/published paper. Similarity in such cases will be desk rejected.

AI-Generated Content Policy (Strict)

• Manuscripts must be written by the authors.
• AI tools must not be used to generate scientific content, analysis, results, or references.
• AI-generated literature reviews, methodology, or discussion sections are prohibited.
• Fabricated or AI-hallucinated citations will lead to desk rejection.
• AI tools may only be used for minor grammar or language polishing.
• Authors must include a declaration confirming compliance with this policy in the manuscript.

Ethical and Review Requirements

• Double-blind review: remove author identities from the manuscript.
• Ethical clearance must be provided where applicable.
• Data integrity must be maintained.

• The page limit of the papers is 10 pages, including references, tables, and figures.
• Format of the paper: latex and Word file template. Adherence to the templates will enhance the editorial process.
