Few important guidelines
 

  • Kindly refrain from hesitating to provide an impartial review. We welcome multiple revisions until the desired level of quality is achieved.
  • We kindly request that manuscripts falling outside the scope of the journal be rejected. In the event of rejection, please provide a clear explanation and offer guidance for further action, such as language editing for manuscripts rejected due to improper language or subject matter that falls outside the scope of the journal.
  • Please ensure that the language used adheres to a high standard of quality and is easily comprehensible to readers worldwide.
