Authors must provide a complete original manuscript, a title page containing author information and institutional affiliations, an ethical approval letter where applicable, and relevant supplementary materials. Manuscripts must be written in clear, grammatically correct English and follow the journal's official formatting guidelines. References must follow the Vancouver referencing style. Research involving human participants must include appropriate ethical approval and confirmation of informed consent when required. The manuscript must be original, must not have been previously published, and must not be under consideration by another journal simultaneously.

You can submit your research manuscript through the journal's online submission system. First, register on the platform and provide complete contact information for the corresponding author. Then upload the full manuscript, a title page containing author details and affiliations, an ethical approval letter where applicable, and any supplementary materials. After submission, you will receive an acknowledgment confirming that your manuscript has been received. The editorial office will conduct an initial screening to assess originality, formatting, relevance, and compliance with publication requirements. Manuscripts meeting these standards will proceed to peer review. Submission through an official email is also permitted if the journal has designated one for this purpose.

If your research involves patients or other human participants, you must obtain approval from the appropriate ethical review board and confirm that informed consent has been obtained where applicable. All research findings must be reported accurately and truthfully. Fabrication, falsification, manipulation of research data, and misleading alteration of images are strictly prohibited. Researchers must also protect participants' confidentiality and properly acknowledge the contributions of other researchers. Authors are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable ethical standards and institutional requirements. Failure to meet these standards may result in manuscript rejection or other appropriate editorial actions.

If you discover a significant scientific, numerical, or factual error in your submitted or published manuscript, you should immediately inform the Editor-in-Chief and provide a clear explanation of the issue. The editorial team will review the matter and determine whether a correction, clarification, or retraction is necessary. If research misconduct is suspected, the matter will be investigated fairly and confidentially, and the author will be given an opportunity to respond before a final decision is made. These procedures are intended to protect the integrity of the scientific record and ensure that readers have access to accurate and reliable research findings.

According to the journal's Plagiarism Policy, a similarity index below 20% is generally considered acceptable. All submitted manuscripts are screened using Turnitin, and the editorial team evaluates the similarity report before the manuscript proceeds to peer review. The similarity percentage alone does not determine acceptance or rejection. Editors also examine the nature of overlapping text, appropriate citations, original contributions, and whether the similarities involve standard terminology, research methods, or references. Manuscripts exceeding the acceptable similarity threshold may be returned for revision. Under the policy, manuscripts containing more than 40% plagiarism are rejected immediately. Repeated or intentional violations may result in temporary or permanent restrictions on future submissions.

You may use previously published scientific sources to support your new research, provided that all borrowed ideas, findings, tables, figures, and other materials are properly acknowledged and referenced. Presenting another author's work as your own constitutes plagiarism. Similarly, republishing your own previously published material, in whole or in part, without proper acknowledgment or citation may constitute self-plagiarism. When using copyrighted figures, tables, or other third-party materials, authors must obtain the necessary permissions where required. The journal evaluates originality, citation accuracy, and compliance with its plagiarism prevention standards.

After submission, your manuscript undergoes an initial editorial screening to assess its relevance, structure, originality, and ethical compliance. Manuscripts meeting these requirements are assigned to an appropriate subject editor. The manuscript is then evaluated by at least two qualified and independent experts in the relevant field. The journal follows a double-blind peer review system, meaning that the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed from one another. Reviewers assess originality, research methodology, data accuracy, scientific significance, interpretation of findings, and ethical compliance. Their evaluations and recommendations contribute to the editorial decision to accept, request revisions, or reject the manuscript.

If your manuscript requires revisions, the editorial team will provide the reviewers' comments and recommendations. You should carefully review the feedback and make the necessary scientific, technical, structural, or language corrections. Along with the revised manuscript, you should submit a detailed response letter explaining how you addressed each reviewer's comments and identifying the changes made. The revised manuscript must be resubmitted within the specified deadline. Depending on the nature of the revisions, the paper may undergo an additional review. A request for revisions does not automatically guarantee final acceptance.

Yes. If you believe that your manuscript was rejected because of a factual misunderstanding, procedural error, reviewer bias, or misinterpretation of important scientific information, you may request reconsideration. Under the provided Appeals and Complaints Policy, the corresponding author must submit a written appeal to the Editor-in-Chief within 10 days of receiving the editorial decision. The appeal should include the manuscript title, reference number, submission date, reasons for the appeal, and supporting evidence. The Editor-in-Chief will review the request and may consult independent editorial board members, request an additional review, or uphold or modify the original decision. The final decision will be communicated to the corresponding author in writing.

Yes. Under the journal's Open Access Policy, all published research articles are made freely available on the official journal website immediately upon publication, without subscription fees, registration requirements, or access restrictions. Researchers, healthcare professionals, educators, students, and other readers may read, download, print, and share published articles for scholarly, educational, and non-commercial purposes. When reusing or distributing published materials, users must properly acknowledge the original authors and the journal, provide accurate citations, and clearly indicate any modifications or adaptations. Reuse must comply with the applicable licensing terms and must not misrepresent the original research findings.
