Author Guidelines
Manuscript Types
Original Research Articles: These papers offer a detailed account of new findings from completed research projects. The journal encourages submissions that make use of qualitative and mixed designs. The structure of these academic works must mandatorily follow an organization into five fundamental sections: introduction, method, findings, discussion, and conclusions.
Literature Review Articles: These academic texts provide comprehensive overviews or detailed analyses that capture the progress and current trends within a specific knowledge domain, centering on a distinct topic or issue. The journal welcomes both systematic and narrative literature reviews that involve a methodical approach to selecting and critically appraising sources. This flexibility encourages a broad and inclusive examination of the subject matter.
Reflection Articles: These are writings that present theories, critical interpretations, conceptualizations on epistemological themes or methodological developments that arise from research previously completed by the authors. These documents focus on theoretical elaboration and contribute new perspectives or critical reflections on the methods and existing knowledge in a specific field of study.
