Types of Articles

The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, and short communications.

Original research should present new findings through clinical, experimental, observational, computational, or field-based investigation. Reviews should critically assess existing knowledge and identify research gaps. Short communications should report focused findings or emerging developments with sufficient supporting evidence.

Peer Review and Editorial Standards

Submitted manuscripts undergo initial editorial assessment and peer review to evaluate their relevance, originality, methodological rigor, clarity, and ethical integrity.

Authors may be invited to revise their manuscripts before a final decision. Editorial decisions are based on scholarly merit and remain independent of publication charges or commercial interests.
