Guidelines for Authors

Manuscripts submitted to the editorial office must be written in English (either British or American English, but not a mixed version). Publication of all articles is free of charge, and access to them is open via the Journal's website.

Each manuscript is reviewed through the submission system and the peer-review system by invited reviewers.

Each manuscript should be accompanied by a cover letter stating that it has not been previously published and has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere.

Authors bear full responsibility for the content of the articles and the opinions expressed in them.

Manuscripts should be submitted in MS Word format and conform to the formatting style of the American Psychological Association (APA) Publication Manual, 7th edition.

The main document of the manuscript should be organized as follows:

• Title
• List of authors (co-authors)
• Author's affiliated organization
• Email address(es)
• Abstract: The abstract should be no less than 150 and no more than 350 words. The abstract should consist of the following subsections: Introduction, Purpose, Method, Results, Conclusions. The abstract should be self-sufficient as it is often read separately from the article. Uncommon or unusual abbreviations should be avoided, but if necessary, definitions must be provided at their first mention in the abstract itself.
• Keywords: Up to 6 keywords should be provided. Each keyword should be as specific as possible and typically consist of 2-3 words.
• Introduction: This section should demonstrate the relevance of the topic, the degree of study of the problem, and describe the knowledge gap addressed by the research.
• Methodology: This section is typically divided into three or five subsections (depending on the context of the study): Materials/Participants, Methods, Research Procedure, Data Analysis. The focus should be on providing sufficient detail to verify the presented data and enable replication of the study. A balance should be maintained between conciseness (no need to describe every detail of the experiment) and completeness (all necessary details of the study should be presented so that readers know how the research was conducted). Results should not be discussed in this section— the next section will be entirely devoted to describing the research results. This section should provide information on how the study was conducted, how materials and equipment were used, what participants did, how they were impacted, how materials were prepared, how the impact was applied, how results were calculated, whether testing was conducted, what environmental conditions accompanied the experiment, and how long it lasted. Describe how participants were recruited, whether they were independent participants or members of a group, how informed consent was obtained, what participants were asked to do, whether they were compensated, etc. In other words, this subsection describes in detail the data collection procedure. The information should be clearly presented to allow replication of the experimental research.
• Results: The purpose of the Results section is to present the main findings of the study without drawing conclusions. Grouped data and the results of statistical analysis should be presented with reference to figures, tables, and graphs.
• Discussion: This section provides an interpretation and explanation of the results. The results should be commented on with reference to theoretical data (How do the results correspond to previous theories and data from the literature? Are the results consistent with what was found previously? If they are contradictory, how can this be explained?).
• Conclusion: The conclusion describes the significance of the results for theory and practice, highlights the practical application of the findings, and suggests additional directions for future research.
• Acknowledgments: Acknowledgments may be expressed in a separate section at the end of the article before the references. In this section, individuals who assisted in conducting the research (e.g., providing language assistance, writing or proofreading the article, etc.) can be listed.
• References: The list of references should include at least 30 sources cited in the text.
• Appendices: If more than one appendix is provided, they should be identified as A, B, etc. Footnotes should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the article. Do not include footnotes in the references list.
