Guide for authors

The article length should not exceed: original work - 10 pages of standardized text, case study or review - 8 pages of standardized text, letter to the editor - 2 pages of standardized text.
Providing the ORCID number is not mandatory but recommended for unambiguous identification.
Pay close attention to the completeness and order of authors and the accuracy of their affiliations, as subsequent changes are limited.

The manuscript should adhere to English spelling rules. Font: Times New Roman; font size: main text 12 pt, footnotes and tables 10 pt; line spacing: 1.5; paragraph indent: 1.25.
When using an abbreviation, its first occurrence should be followed by the full expression in parentheses.
Tables should be titled and numbered consecutively (Table 1, Table 2, etc.). Each table should be referenced in the main text. Explanations for the table are placed directly below it.

The journal permits the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the preparation of manuscripts, provided that the principles of research integrity, transparency, and authors’ responsibility for the content of the publication are upheld.
AI tools may be used, among other purposes, for language and grammar editing, improving the style and clarity of the text, translation, assistance in developing text or code, and other activities that support manuscript preparation. However, the use of AI must not replace the authors’ independent scientific judgment or their responsibility for the content of the manuscript.
