3. Manuscript Preparation
3.1 Format and Length
• Manuscripts should be submitted electronically in a format compatible with Microsoft Word. PDF files are permitted when the manuscript contains non-standard characters that cannot be reliably displayed in Word.
• Perspectives articles are typically 3,000–5,000 words, while Core Articles and Research Articles are typically 6,000–9,000 words. Abstracts should be 150–200 words. Manuscript word counts include the abstract and keywords but exclude references.
• The title page should be submitted as a separate file. It must include the article title, the author's name, institutional affiliation, and professional position. Authors may also optionally provide their ORCID ID and a brief biographical statement.
• The manuscript should be formatted in Times New Roman, 12-point font (11-point for block quotes), and double-spaced throughout.
• Margins should be set to 1 inch (2.54 cm) on all sides.
3.2 Language
• Manuscripts must be written in clear, fluent English and should not require additional language editing.
3.3 Abstract
• Each submission must include an abstract of 150–200 words placed at the beginning of the manuscript.
• The abstract should outline the research objectives, methodology or approach, key findings, and scholarly significance. Authors may optionally include research limitations, practical implications, and social implications.
3.4 Keywords
• Manuscripts should include up to five concise, relevant keywords that reflect the main themes of the paper.
3.5 Text
Section Headings
• Use major section headings and subsection headings to organize the manuscript clearly.
• Major section headings denote the primary divisions of the manuscript (e.g., 1. INTRODUCTION). They should be centered, set in 14-point bold font using small caps, and capitalized in all caps. The section number should be followed by a full point and an en space.
• Subsection headings address specific topics within a major section (e.g., 2.1 Theoretical Background). They should be flush-left, set in 14-point bold font, and capitalized in title case. The subsection number should not be followed by a full point.
Paragraphs
• There should be no line spaces between paragraphs.
Spelling
• Use the spelling system you are most accustomed to, and apply it consistently.
Quotations
• Extended quotations should be presented in a smaller font size, aligned flush left, and consisting of a minimum of five lines. Quotation marks should not be used for block quotations.
• Short quotations incorporated into the text should use single quotation marks, with double quotation marks reserved for quotations within quotations.
• For quoted passages in non-Latin scripts, authors must provide both the original text and a Romanized version.
Punctuation
• Endnote cues should consistently follow punctuation.
• Initials should be followed by a full point and a space (e.g., E.M. Smith).
• No full point should be used after titles such as Dr, Mrs, Ms, or Mr.
Computer Programs and Prompts
• A brief description of the syntactic rules governing lines of program code to be typeset and embedded within the text should be provided. Alternatively, program code may be presented as figures, in which case authors should submit camera-ready copies of the figures together with the manuscript.
• Names of computer programs should be presented in capital letters or in another consistently applied style.
• Code and prompts should be set in Courier New, 10-point, to distinguish them from the surrounding text.
3.6 Tables
• Tables must be numbered sequentially (e.g., Table 1), with a descriptive title in italics directly below the table number, set in 12-point font.
• Tables should be positioned immediately following their first mention in the text.
• Vertical lines should not be used; column separation should be managed through alignment and white space.
• Tables should use a minimalist horizontal structure consisting of a top rule above the column headings, a header rule below the column headings, and a bottom rule at the base of the table.
• Table body text should be set in 11-point font.
• All abbreviations and source citations must be included in a "Note" section directly below the bottom rule.
3.7 Figures
• All illustrations, including maps, graphs, and other images, are referred to as "figures." They should be numbered consecutively and clearly cited in the text (e.g., see Figure 1).
• Figures should be positioned immediately following their first mention in the text.
• All figures must be both embedded in the manuscript for review and uploaded as separate files in .pdf, .png, or .tiff format.
• Figures must be submitted as high-resolution files (minimum 300 dpi for photographs; 600–1200 dpi for line art or charts).
• All text within figures must be clear and appropriately sized (8–12 point font) to remain readable upon scaling.
• A concise descriptive caption must follow the figure number. Unlike tables, figure captions are placed below the image.
• Authors are responsible for ensuring that all figures are original or that they have obtained the necessary copyright permissions for reproduction. Any figure adapted or reprinted from another source must include a full credit line in the caption, giving the source author and year (e.g., Source: Smith, 2024).
3.8 References
• All references should follow the Chicago Manual of Style (17th edition), with in-text citations using the author-date system described in Chapter 15.
• Sources in other languages should be Romanized.
3.9 Supplementary Files
• Authors may submit supplementary materials (e.g., data, appendices, or media files) provided they are directly relevant to the research.
• No article processing charges (APCs), submission fees, or publication fees are required. Publication costs are fully covered by the publisher.
6. Authorship
• The journal requires that all published articles provide clear and accurate attribution of authorship. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all contributors are appropriately acknowledged and that the author list accurately reflects each contributor's role, in accordance with the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy).
7. Ethical Considerations
• Authors must comply with the journal's Research and Publication Ethics, upholding principles of transparency, accuracy, and integrity in the presentation of their research.
