The current state of the research field should be reviewed carefully and key publications cited. Please highlight controversial and diverging hypotheses when necessary. Finally, briefly mention the main aim of the work and highlight the principal conclusions. As far as possible, please keep the introduction comprehensible to scientists outside your particular field of research. References should be numbered in order of appearance and indicated by a numeral or numerals in square brackets, e.g., (author name et al, 2021) or (author name et al., 2021; author name et al., 2022). See the end of the document for further details on references. (Times New Roman, 12)

New methods and protocols should be described in detail while well-established methods can be briefly described and appropriately cited.

Declare conflicts of interest or state “The authors declare no conflict of interest.” Authors must identify and declare any personal circumstances or interest that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of reported research results.

References

Write a reference list alphabetically and chronologically. The bibliography is a list of references/non-bibliography, so it must contain all the sources referred to in the text, and does not need to contain sources that are not referenced. The reference list contains everything referred to in the text that comes from that source; (a) relevant, (b) at least 80% up to date (last 10 years), and (c) at least 80% primary. Writing references refers to the American Psychological Association (APA) 6Ed and uses the Mendeley application. We recommend preparing references with a bibliographic software package (e.g., Mendeley) to avoid typing errors and duplicate references. Citations and references in additional files are permitted, as long as they appear in the reference list here.

In-Text Citations

  • Format: References should be cited in the text using author(s) last name followed by the publication year in parentheses.
    • Example: (Smith, 2020)
  • Multiple Authors: When a work has two authors, cite both names every time the reference occurs in the text. When a work has three or more authors, cite only the first author followed by "et al."
    • Example: (Smith & Jones, 2019), (Brown et al., 2021)
  • Direct Quotes: For direct quotes, include the page number as well.
    • Example: (Smith, 2020, p. 23)
