Dear Authors, Reviewers, and Readers

On behalf of the editorial board, we are pleased to announce an important update regarding the publication format of our journal. Beginning with Volume 2, Issue 1 (2025), we will be officially adopting a new article template to replace the previous design that has been in use since the journal’s establishment. This change is part of our ongoing effort to enhance the visibility, professionalism, and academic quality of our publications, ensuring that the journal continues to grow and meet the expectations of both local and international scholarly communities.

Background and Rational for Change

Since the launch of our journal, the initial template served as a valuable tool to maintain consistency in article presentation and formatting. However, as academic publishing standards continue to evolve, it has become increasingly important for us to modernize our approach. The previous template, while functional, carried a more traditional appearance and did not fully reflect the aesthetic and structural expectations of contemporary academic journals indexed at national and international levels.

The new template has been designed with several goals in mind:

1. Professional Appearance – It introduces a cleaner, more polished look that enhances readability and aligns with widely accepted international journal standards.

2. Consistency in Structure – The updated layout ensures that all articles follow a uniform structure, which benefits authors, reviewers, and readers by providing clarity and coherence.

3. Improved Accessibility – The new design considers digital readability, making it easier to navigate articles both online and in print.

4. Alignment with Indexing Standards – By updating the template, we aim to strengthen the journal’s readiness for inclusion in leading academic databases and indexing services.

Implementation Timeline

The transition to the new template will take effect starting from Volume 2, Issue 1 (2025). All articles submitted and accepted for publication in this issue and subsequent issues must be formatted using the updated template. Submissions prepared with the previous version will no longer be accepted once the new policy is in place.

We encourage authors who plan to submit their work for consideration in Volume 2, Issue 1 and beyond to download and carefully review the new template before preparing their manuscripts. The updated file is available for download on the official journal website under the “Submission Guidelines” section.

Benefits for Authors and Readers

We believe that this change will bring substantial benefits to all stakeholders in the publication process:

• For Authors: The new template provides clearer formatting instructions, improved citation style integration, and a professional presentation of manuscripts, helping authors showcase their research in a manner that meets international expectations.

• For Reviewers: A standardized and structured format makes it easier for reviewers to evaluate manuscripts, saving valuable time and allowing for more efficient peer review.

• For Readers: A modern and visually consistent layout improves the overall reading experience, making it easier to follow arguments, analyze data, and appreciate the contributions of each article.

Acknowledgment of the Previous Template

We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the authors and reviewers who have worked with the previous template since the inception of the journal. The contributions made under that format have laid the foundation for our growth and have been instrumental in shaping the identity of the journal. As we now move toward a refreshed appearance, we carry forward the achievements of the past while embracing the promise of future development.

Commitment to Continuous Improvement

This template update is only one part of a broader commitment to ensuring that our journal remains competitive, relevant, and academically rigorous. Alongside this change, we continue to refine our editorial processes, strengthen our peer-review system, and pursue inclusion in reputable indexing databases. Our goal is not only to provide a platform for scholarly communication but also to foster academic excellence and integrity in every article that we publish.

Closing Remarks

We understand that adopting a new template may require some adjustments for our authors. However, we are confident that this change represents an important step forward in elevating the standards of our journal. The editorial board firmly believes that the transition will contribute to the advancement of scholarly communication, improve the global visibility of the research we publish, and provide an enriched experience for our community of authors, reviewers, and readers.

We sincerely thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and continued support as we implement this new format. Together, we will ensure that the journal remains a trusted platform for disseminating high-quality research in the years to come.

Sincerely,
The Editorial Team
