• Keywords — 4 to 6 keywords separated by commas.
• Introduction · Methods · Results · Discussion · Conclusion.
• References — APA 7th edition; DOIs required where available.
• Figures & Tables — embedded in-line, plus high-resolution (≥300 dpi) source files.

Use Times New Roman 12 pt, double-spaced, numbered lines, A4 page size.

1. Create a corresponding-author account and verify your email.
2. Upload your manuscript and supplementary files via the submission portal.
3. Suggest 3 potential reviewers (optional but recommended).
4. Editorial screening within 5 business days.
5. Double-blind peer review — typical first decision in 4–6 weeks.
