Authors should submit their manuscripts online.
Your paper should be compiled in the following order: title page; abstract; keywords; main text introduction; materials and methods; results and discussion; acknowledgments; declaration of interest statement; references; appendices (as appropriate); table(s) with caption(s) (on individual pages); figures; figure captions.

In the text, a reference identified by means of an author‘s name should be followed by the date of the reference in parenthesis. Only the first author‘s name should be mentioned when there are more than two authors, followed by ’et al‘.In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lowercase letter like ’a‘ and ’b‘ after the date to distinguish the works.
Parenthetical citations: (Aron et al., 2019; Dillard, 2020; Thestrup & Dake, 2010)
Narrative citations: Aron et al. (2019), Dillard (2020), and Thestrup & Dake (2010)
