All articles must conform to the following structural conditions:
The abstract in Persian and English (exact translation) must include the sections Aims, Methods, Findings, and Conclusion, with a word count of at least 150 and at most 250 words. Keywords in Persian and English (exact translations) must be provided, with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 words.
All articles must include at the end five sections: Acknowledgments, Ethical Approvals, Conflicts of Interest, Authors’ Contributions, and Funding/Support. If a item is not applicable, the phrase "Not reported by the authors" should be used.
References must be cited in full in all instances, using author-year format for in-text citations. All sources listed in the bibliography and cited in-text must be written in English (Roman alphabet). Persian sources must be translated, and the phrase [In Persian] should be appended to their entries; accordingly, the bibliography should be arranged alphabetically (A–Z) entirely in English and in the Roman alphabet.
If the article is accepted conditionally, the extended abstract (worded as an extended abstract) must be provided in English with a word count between 1000 and 1500 words. The extended abstract is a summary of the article, not a mere description or report. The extended abstract structure should align with the structure of the main article. The final acceptance depends on the author(s) providing this extended abstract within a maximum of 15 days.
