Technical Characteristics
We welcome the submission of manuscripts in both LaTeX and MS-Word formats. However, LaTeX submissions are strongly encouraged, as they align with our goal of maintaining high standards in scientific publishing.

In the spirit of fostering research reproducibility, we particularly value contributions that include accessible datasets and software code. Providing the necessary resources to replicate the findings presented in your article not only enhances transparency but also strengthens the impact of your research.
