Originality of Submission

Manuscripts submitted to the journal must be original and must not have been published previously or be under consideration by another journal. Authors are responsible for ensuring that all submitted work is their own and that appropriate acknowledgement is given to the work of others through proper citation.

Any form of plagiarism, duplicate publication, data fabrication, data falsification, or unethical publication practice is not acceptable and may result in rejection of the manuscript.

Scope and Suitability

Before submission, authors should ensure that their manuscript falls within the scope of the journal. The journal welcomes research across science, education, technology, engineering, computer science, mathematics, environmental sciences, life sciences, artificial intelligence, educational technology, and other related or interdisciplinary fields.

Manuscripts should clearly demonstrate originality, scientific or scholarly merit, sound methodology, and relevance to researchers, practitioners, educators, or professionals working in the respective discipline.

Manuscript Preparation

Manuscripts should be prepared in clear and concise English. Authors are encouraged to ensure that the language is grammatically accurate and suitable for academic publication before submission.

A typical manuscript should include:

• Title
• Author names and affiliations
• Corresponding author details
• Abstract
• Keywords
• Main text
• Acknowledgements (if applicable)
• Funding information (if applicable)
• Conflict of Interest statement
• Data Availability statement (where applicable)
• References

Additional sections may be included where appropriate depending on the nature of the research.

Title

The title should accurately reflect the content of the manuscript. It should be concise, informative, and avoid unnecessary abbreviations wherever possible.

Authors and Affiliations

Provide the full name of each author together with institutional affiliation, department (where applicable), city, state or province, and country. One corresponding author should be clearly identified together with a valid email address for future correspondence.

Abstract

Each manuscript should include an abstract that briefly presents the purpose of the study, methodology, principal findings, and major conclusions. The abstract should provide readers with a clear understanding of the work without requiring reference to the complete manuscript.

Keywords

Authors should provide three to eight keywords that accurately represent the subject of the manuscript. Appropriate keywords improve indexing and help readers locate published articles.

Main Text

The organisation of the manuscript may vary depending on the nature of the research. For most original research articles, the following structure is recommended:

• Introduction
• Literature Review (where appropriate)
• Materials and Methods or Methodology
• Results
• Discussion
• Conclusion

Review articles, educational studies, theoretical papers, computational investigations, and interdisciplinary research may adopt alternative structures where appropriate.

Tables and Figures

Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively and cited within the text.

Each table should include a descriptive title, while figures should include clear captions explaining the content presented. Images, graphs, illustrations, and photographs should be of sufficient quality for publication.

Authors are responsible for obtaining permission for the use of copyrighted material where required.

Equations and Symbols

Mathematical expressions should be prepared clearly and numbered consecutively when referenced in the manuscript.

Symbols, abbreviations, and units should be used consistently throughout the manuscript and defined when first introduced.

Units

The International System of Units (SI) should be used wherever applicable. Alternative units may be included where appropriate for the respective discipline.

References

Authors are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of all references cited in the manuscript.

References should be presented consistently according to the citation style required by the journal. Every reference cited within the text should appear in the reference list, and all references included in the reference list should be cited within the manuscript.

Supplementary Material

Supporting datasets, software, multimedia files, appendices, questionnaires, additional tables, or supplementary figures may be submitted where they contribute to the understanding of the research.

The editorial office may publish supplementary material alongside the article when appropriate.

Ethical Considerations

Authors should ensure that their research has been conducted in accordance with accepted ethical standards.

Where research involves human participants, animals, personal data, or sensitive information, appropriate ethical approval should be obtained before conducting the study. Authors should include relevant ethical approval information within the manuscript whenever applicable.

Authorship

Authorship should be limited to individuals who have made substantial academic contributions to the conception, design, execution, analysis, or interpretation of the research.

All listed authors should approve the final version of the manuscript prior to submission and agree to its publication if accepted.

Conflict of Interest

Authors should disclose any financial, professional, institutional, or personal relationships that could influence the interpretation of the research.

If no conflict of interest exists, authors should clearly state that no competing interests have been identified.

Funding

Sources of financial support should be acknowledged where applicable. The role of the funding organisation in the design, conduct, analysis, or publication of the research should also be stated when relevant.

Acknowledgements

Individuals, institutions, or organisations that provided assistance during the research but do not meet the criteria for authorship may be acknowledged in this section.

Data Availability

Where appropriate, authors are encouraged to include a statement describing the availability of data supporting the findings of the study.

If data cannot be shared due to ethical, legal, or confidentiality considerations, this should be indicated within the manuscript.

Artificial Intelligence Assisted Writing

Authors who have used artificial intelligence tools solely to improve grammar, language, or readability should disclose this within the manuscript where appropriate.

Artificial intelligence tools cannot be listed as authors and remain the responsibility of the human authors, who are accountable for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and content of the submitted work.

Submission Process

Manuscripts should be submitted through the journal's submission system or by using the submission method specified on the journal website.

Authors should ensure that all required files and supporting documents have been included before submission. Incomplete submissions may require additional information before entering peer review.

Peer Review

All submissions undergo an initial editorial assessment to determine their suitability for the journal.

Manuscripts considered suitable are sent for independent peer review by qualified experts in the relevant field. Editorial decisions are based on reviewer comments, scientific quality, originality, methodological soundness, clarity, and relevance to the journal.

Authors may be requested to revise their manuscript before a final editorial decision is reached.

Revision of Manuscripts

Where revisions are requested, authors should respond carefully to each reviewer comment and submit both a revised manuscript and a detailed response explaining how the comments have been addressed.

Failure to submit revisions within the requested period may result in withdrawal of the manuscript from further consideration.

Acceptance and Proofs

Following acceptance, manuscripts undergo editorial processing before publication.

Page proofs may be provided to the corresponding author for final review. Authors should carefully examine the proofs and communicate any necessary corrections within the specified time. Only minor corrections are normally permitted at this stage.

Copyright and Open Access
