Manuscript Submission Guidelines

By submitting a manuscript, the author(s) confirm the following:

  • The work is original and has not been published previously.
  • The manuscript is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
  • All co-authors and responsible authorities at the affiliated institution(s) have approved its publication, either explicitly or tacitly.

The publisher assumes no legal liability for any claims for compensation. If authors include figures, tables, or text passages from previously published works, they must obtain permission from the copyright holder(s) for both print and online formats and provide proof of such permission upon submission. Materials submitted without proper authorization will be assumed to be the authors’ original work.
