Before submitting the manuscript, the author should check it for originality, which should be at least 90%. Attitude to plagiarism More

Manuscript Preparation
Format: Microsoft Word (doc or docx).
Font: 12-point Times New Roman – for the title, headings (bold), for the body (normal).
Line Spacing: single-spaced. Do not add extra space before or after paragraphs.
Margins: 1-in. margins on every side of the page.
Paragraph Alignment: to the left margin. Do not insert hyphens (manual breaks) in words at the end of line.
Paragraph Indentation: 0.5 in. from the left margin.
Page Numbers: in the top right corner.
Language: English.

English Language Writing
Please write your text in good English (American or British usage is accepted). Poor standard of grammar or spelling will lead to the manuscript being sent back to authors.

Research Methodology
Identify methodologies, equipment and procedures in sufficient detail to allow other researchers to reproduce results.
Specify well-known methods including statistical procedures; mention and provide a brief description of published methods which are not yet well known; describe new or modified methods at length; justify their use and evaluate their limits. We ask authors to ensure proper consideration of sex as a biological variable.

Tables and Figures
Tables and Figures should be submitted in the text file, referenced in the text sequentially.
Each table/figure should be displayed with a number and a brief but clear explanatory title. The table/figure number appears above the table/figure in bold font flush left. The table/figure title appears one single-spaced line below the table/figure number in italic title case.
Tables/Figures can include notes which are placed below the body of the table/figure. Notes are designated by the word “Note” (italicized) followed by a full stop. Notes can be used to describe the contents of the table that cannot be understood from the table title or body alone. Figure notes can be used to convey information to clarify the contents and to acknowledge figures reprinted or adapted from another source.
Tables
Each table should be created with the Table menu of Microsoft Word table editor, by selecting the number of rows and columns needed.
Figures
Figure formats accepted: JPEG set at 300 dpi resolution preferred; other formats accepted are TIFF and PDF (high quality). If figures are in color, it should always be specified whether color or black and white reproduction is required in the print version. If figures are to be printed in black and white, an additional version of the captions should be provided for the print version not referring to color.

Abbreviations
Units of measurement, symbols and abbreviations must conform to international standards. Measurements of length, height, weight and volume should be given in metric units (meter, kilogram, liter) or their decimal multiples. Temperatures must be expressed in degrees Celsius.
The use of unusual symbols or abbreviations is strongly discouraged. The first time an abbreviation appears in the text, it should be preceded by the words for which it stands.

References
Reference list conforms to the APA Style (APA 7th).
The in-text citation appears within the body of the manuscript and briefly identifies the cited work by its author and date of publication. This enables readers to locate the corresponding entry in the alphabetical reference list without numbering at the end of the manuscript.
At least 75% of the references must have article identifiers, such as digital object identifier (DOI). Please add this identifier at the end of your references when available. You can visit the following link to search for DOIs of articles: https://www.crossref.org/SimpleTextQuery.

Use of AI-based Chatbots (AI Chatbots) More
Example
1. The author(s) posted the following question to ChatGPT: “...”. ChatGPT generated the answer: “...”.
2. The author(s) indicate ChatGPT’s role for preparing the manuscript in sections:
- Material and Methods. ChatGPT was used for reference searching and statistical analysis of the data.
- Acknowledgments. We thank OpenAI for allowing us to use ChatGPT to prepare our manuscript.
Do not list Chatbot(s) as co-authors. Only the author(s) are responsible for their manuscript.
