Structure

Research articles should include an introduction, relevant background, methods, results, discussion, conclusions, and references. Systematic reviews must describe the protocol, sources, search strategy, selection criteria, and synthesis. Other article types should follow a structure consistent with their methodology.

Metadata and authorship

For every author, OJS must record the full name, email, official institutional affiliation, country, ORCID, and contribution. Authorship order and composition may not be changed after acceptance without justification and documented consent from all involved.

Declarations

The manuscript must disclose funding, conflicts of interest, author contributions, data availability, ethics approval, informed consent, and substantive use of artificial intelligence when applicable.

Anonymization

The review version must omit names, affiliations, identifiable acknowledgements, and file properties revealing authorship. References to the authors' own works must be phrased without compromising anonymity.
