✅ 1. Originality and Novelty

Manuscripts must present original research or novel insights that have not been previously published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. The study should provide new perspectives, findings, or methods that significantly contribute to its scientific field.

• Replication studies may be accepted if they offer new insights or confirm important results.

• Review articles must provide a comprehensive and critical evaluation of existing knowledge with well-articulated future directions.

✅ 2. Scientific and Technical Soundness

All submissions must be:

• Methodologically robust with clearly defined objectives, procedures, and analysis.

• Supported by appropriate data and evidence that justify the conclusions.

• Potential to influence future research, policy, or practice

• Value to the scholarly community, practitioners, or industry stakeholders

❌ Manuscripts Will Be Rejected If:

• They fall outside the journal’s scope

• They show signs of plagiarism or unethical research practices

• They lack scientific rigor or are poorly presented

• They are previously published or under review elsewhere
