Scope Boundary

The multidisciplinary nature of the journal does not mean that any topic is automatically acceptable.

Every manuscript must:

1. address a clearly defined scientific problem;
2. use an appropriate and transparent scientific methodology;
3. provide original findings, analysis, synthesis, or methodological contribution;
4. be supported by appropriate evidence;
5. demonstrate relevance to one or more areas within the journal’s scientific scope; and
6. provide a clear contribution to scientific knowledge or practice.

Purely descriptive, opinion-based, advocacy, commercial, or non-scholarly manuscripts without an identifiable scientific contribution are outside the scope of the journal.
