Author Guidelines

The abstract must be prepared on an A4-size page with single line spacing (1.0). The abstract must not exceed 3,000 characters (excluding figures, tables, and formulas). In-text citations  are not permitted in the abstract. The reference list, formatted according to APA style, must be provided separately.

The text must be justified (Times New Roman, 14 pt), with a first-line paragraph indent of 10 mm. All margins must be set to 20 mm. Pages must not be numbered. Automatic hyphenation is not permitted.

The title of the paper must be centered at the top of the page. The following information must be provided below the title: author's first and last name, academic degree, academic title, institutional affiliation, position, email address, and ORCID identifier. The abstract text follows. The reference list, formatted according to APA style, must be provided at the end.

The abstract should be written according to the following guidelines: the first two or three sentences should establish the relevance of the topic. The aim and object of the research should then be clearly stated. The research methodology (methods) should be described (for theoretical papers, the theoretical framework should be outlined). The main findings and their practical significance should also be presented. Each subsequent statement should follow logically from the preceding one.

For research articles, abstracts are encouraged to include specific quantitative findings. For review articles, authors may focus on the issues examined without necessarily reporting specific results.

When writing the abstract, authors should use active rather than passive voice and employ appropriate linking expressions such as "therefore," "for example," and "as a result" to ensure logical flow and coherence.

The abstract must be unstructured, without sections or subheadings. The text should be concise and original. No citations or references to other studies or information sources are permitted. The use of tables and figures is also prohibited.

Authors are fully responsible for the content of their submissions. All materials must be carefully proofread to ensure compliance with spelling and grammar rules.
