Preparing Your Manuscript
Manuscripts should be written primarily in English. Submissions in Arabic and French may be considered in exceptional cases, subject to editorial approval. Authors are responsible for ensuring a high standard of language quality and clarity. Where necessary, professional language editing or proofreading services are strongly recommended prior to submission.
The journal adopts a flexible formatting policy, with no strict limitations on manuscript length, structure, tables, or figures. Authors are encouraged, however, to present their research clearly and concisely, ensuring that content remains focused and relevant.
Although flexible formatting is permitted, authors may choose to prepare their manuscripts using the journal’s official article template. The template provides guidance on layout and structure, abstract highlights and keywords, formatting of tables and figures, data presentation, and reference style. The template can be downloaded here.

All submissions must be prepared and submitted in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx). Manuscripts submitted in other file formats will not be considered.
