1. Original Research Article: report of original research findings and data.
2. Review: critically examines the body of research on a particular subject and give insights/informed opinions on the direction and future of the research field.

Manuscript Presentation

1. Length: original research articles submitted to this journal should conform to a maximum length of 8 pages when formatted using our double-column template provided in the submission template, which summarizes current research in a particular area, and has a maximum length limit of 12 pages. These guidelines include all content, such as the abstract, figures, references, and appendices.
2. Format: papers must be typed in a font size no smaller than 12 pt and should be in standardized fonts such as Times New Roman or Arial. All pages should be numbered. Authors should not copy the format of the published journal.
3. Language, spelling, and grammar: all papers must be written in English. If English is not your first language, you should ask an English-speaking colleague to proofread your paper.
4. Author affiliations: these should immediately follow the title. For multiple-authored articles, list the full names of all the authors, followed by their email addresses. If an author's present address is different from the address at which the work was carried out, this should be given as a footnote. All co-authors must be listed on the manuscript submission and peer review sites as part of the submission process.
5. Abstract: this should be informative and suitable for direct inclusion in abstracting services as a self-contained article. It should not exceed 300 words. It should indicate the general scope and also state the main results obtained, methods used, the value of the work, and the conclusions drawn. No figure numbers, table numbers, or references should be included. 
6. Tables: tables should be referred to explicitly in the text. Tables should be referred to in numerical order.
7. Funding: You should list all funding sources in the Acknowledgments section. You are responsible for the accuracy of their funder designation.

Cover Letter

3. If your manuscript has previously been submitted to this or any other journal and subsequently rejected, you must provide copies of all correspondence involving the earlier submission, including the final decision letter. You must also include an additional document detailing how you have improved your paper from the previous rejected version. Please upload this document alongside both your submitted manuscript file and your cover letter. Failure to do so may cause delays or interruptions to paper processing and will result in the rejection of your manuscript.
4. If your manuscript was previously a conference paper, please attach the paper and details of how the manuscript has been expanded. 

Information of Consent

Authors should ensure that the individual rights of all the participants who are involved in the study are protected. Identifying details (eg, names and dates of birth) of the participants that were studied should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, and genetic profiles unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the participant (or parent or guardian if the participant is incapable) gave written informed consent for publication. 

Artificial Intelligence

This journal follows Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence in manuscript writing, which state that authors should not list a generative AI technology as a co-author or author of any submitted manuscript:

AI tools cannot meet the requirements for authorship as they cannot take responsibility for the submitted work. As non-legal entities, they cannot assert the presence or absence of conflicts of interest nor manage copyright and license agreements.

Authors who use AI tools in the writing of a manuscript, the production of images or graphical elements of the paper, or the collection and analysis of data must be transparent in disclosing in the Materials and Methods (or similar section) of the paper how the AI tool was used and which tool was used. Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, even those parts produced by an AI tool, and are thus liable for any breach of publication ethics. 

Archiving Policy

Articles are digitally archived in PKP PN.

Correction Policy

To maintain the integrity of the scientific record and avoid inconsistencies downstream, minor corrections that do not affect the scientific understanding of the paper (for example, formatting or typographical errors or preference of wording) may be rejected if submitted post-publication.

The correction procedure depends on the publication stage of the article, but in all circumstances, a correction notice is released as soon as possible:

Early Access publication: We will consider replacing the Early Access version with an updated version that corrects the error and notes the changes that have been made and the date(s) on which the changes were made (in a correction notice at the end of the article).

Publication in an issue: If the article has already appeared in an issue, a correction notice will be released in the next available electronic and print issue. The online version of the article will link to the correction notice.

Retraction Policy

Retractions are considered by journal editors in cases of evidence of unreliable data or findings, plagiarism, duplicate publication, and unethical research. All retraction notices explain why the article was retracted. A retraction notice will also be published in the next available electronic and print issue.

Editors should consider retracting a publication if:

• They have clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of major error (eg, miscalculation or experimental error), or as a result of fabrication (eg, of data) or falsification (eg, image manipulation).
• It constitutes plagiarism.
• The findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper attribution to previous sources or disclosure to the editors, permission to republish, or justification (ie, cases of redundant publication).
• It contains material or data without authorization for use.
• Copyright has been infringed or there is some other serious legal issue (eg, libel, privacy).
• It reports unethical research.
• It has been published solely on the basis of a compromised or manipulated peer review process.
• The author(s) failed to disclose a major competing interest, it would have unduly affected interpretations of the work or recommendations by editors and peer reviewers.

Authorship

All listed authors should have contributed to the manuscript substantially and have agreed to the final submitted version. The corresponding author or a person who is submitting the article must provide details (full name, institutional affiliation, address for communication and e-mail address) for all the authors. It is corresponding author's responsibility to notify all the authors of the article regarding submission and further process related to the submitted article.
