Authors should provide 4–6 keywords reflecting the scope and themes of the manuscript.
Main Text
For research manuscripts, the following structure is recommended:
- Introduction: Define the problem, situate within literature, and outline its relevance.
- Methods: Describe methodologies, simulations, frameworks, or theoretical approaches.
- Results or Argument: Present findings, models, or conceptual contributions.
- Discussion: Interpret results in context, address limitations, and explore implications.
- Conclusion: Summarise key contributions and future research directions.
Tables and Figures
- Must be labelled, numbered, and cited in the text.
- Figures should be high resolution (JPEG, PNG, TIFF).
- Supplementary materials such as datasets, code, or appendices should be submitted separately.
References
All references must be listed at the end in APA style. Authors must ensure accuracy and consistency.
