1. Originality and Ethical Standards

All submitted manuscripts must be original and unpublished work. Manuscripts must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere, including journals, books, monographs, or book chapters.

By submitting a manuscript to the journal, authors agree not to submit the same work to another publication outlet until a final editorial decision has been made. Authors are fully responsible for the academic integrity of their work, including proper citation practices and avoidance of plagiarism.

Manuscripts should be prepared according to the following requirements:

• Font size: 12 pt

• Line spacing: Single-spaced

• Accepted languages: English and French

There are no strict formatting constraints; however, manuscripts must include the essential elements required for scientific communication, including Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions.

All section titles must be numbered using a decimal hierarchical structure, as follows:

• Main sections: 1., 2., 3., …

• Subsections: 1.1., 1.2., …

• Sub-subsections: 1.1.1., 1.1.2., …

4. Tables, Figures, Footnotes, and Equations

• Tables may be single-spaced with a 10 pt font size.

• Each table and figure must include a clear title and a descriptive legend.

• Equations must be numbered consecutively on the right margin and submitted as editable text, not as images.

5. References and Citations

References must appear at the end of the manuscript, single-spaced, in 12 pt font, and formatted according to the APA style.

All references cited in the text must appear in the reference list, and all references listed must be cited in the text.

In-text citation style:

• Single author: Author’s surname and year

• Two authors: Both surnames and year

• Three or more authors: First author followed by et al. and year

References should be listed alphabetically and, where necessary, chronologically. Multiple publications by the same author(s) in the same year should be distinguished using letters (a, b, c, etc.).

6. Authorship Policy

Authors should carefully consider the list and order of authors before submission. The authorship list provided at the time of initial submission is considered final. Any addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names is permitted only before acceptance and requires explicit approval from the Editor.

7. Use of Artificial Intelligence

Any use of artificial intelligence (AI)–generated text must be clearly disclosed. Authors must specify the AI tool used and clearly indicate the sections of the manuscript where AI assistance was applied.

8. English Language Editing

Authors must ensure that their manuscript is written in clear, accurate, and professional scientific English prior to submission. Manuscripts with insufficient language quality may be returned to authors for revision before being considered for peer review.
