Author Guidelines

Title page 

The title page of an article plays a critical role in presenting the content to the reader. It should include a title that accurately reflects the research design or, in case of non-research studies, provide a comprehensive description of the subject matter. Additionally, it must list the full names and institutional addresses of all authors involved in the study. If a collaboration group is involved, the Group name should be listed as an author. The individual names of the members should be included in the "Acknowledgements" section, as per the instructions provided. It is important to note that Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT do not meet our authorship criteria. This is primarily because attribution of authorship comes with accountability for the work, which cannot be effectively applied to LLMs. Therefore, the use of LLMs must be appropriately documented in the Methods section of the manuscript, or in a suitable alternative part if no Methods section is available. Lastly, the title page must clearly indicate the corresponding author who will be responsible for all communication regarding the article.

Abstract

The use of abbreviations should be minimized, and references should not be cited in the abstract. The abstract should be structured into the following four sections:

Introduction: A brief explanation of the issues encountered and the rationale behind the intervention.
Case Description: A comprehensive account of the case and parties involved, along with an analysis of how the intervention was carried out.
Discussion and Evaluation: An assessment of the advantages and disadvantages, as well as an appraisal of the feasibility and effectiveness of the intervention.
Conclusions: A summary of the key takeaways and a plan for the next steps.

It is essential to use formal language and avoid contractions while ensuring that the text is coherent, concise, and error-free. Additionally, the final product should convey a sense of professionalism and expertise, using appropriate vocabulary and grammar.

Keywords 

Three to ten keywords represent the main content of the article.

Introduction

The introductory section of an article should provide a clear and comprehensive overview of the issues at hand, allowing readers to gain an understanding of the context. Additionally, it should provide a detailed explanation of the rationale behind the intervention being discussed. Finally, the introduction should conclude with a concise statement summarizing the main points of the article. In the section, authors are also expected to present alternative approaches to the described one, providing a comprehensive overview of the available options. A formal tone and language should be used throughout the article, avoiding contractions and ensuring that the text is free of errors. The final product should reflect a high level of professionalism and expertise and maintain the original meaning of the text, using appropriate vocabulary and grammar.

Case description

A comprehensive description of the case under analysis, including the roles played by the individuals and institutions involved, as well as the methodology used in assessing the intervention, is crucial. Subsections with appropriate titles can be beneficial for easy navigation and clear understanding of the context and objectives of the analysis. Inclusion of cost data, if available, can also be useful..

Discussion and Evaluation

When assessing an intervention, it's crucial to evaluate both the pros and cons. A realistic analysis of feasibility and effectiveness is necessary for informed decision-making. Use formal language, avoiding errors, contractions, and colloquialisms to convey professionalism and expertise in business or academic settings.

Conclusions

Professional and academic reports should document project outcomes, summarize lessons learned, provide recommendations, and include a contingency plan. Keep the language formal, concise, clear, and error-free to convey professionalism and expertise to stakeholders.

List of abbreviations

When using abbreviations in professional or academic writing, provide definitions at the first instance of use and include a list of abbreviations. Use formal language, avoid contractions, and ensure the text is clear, concise, and error-free. Use appropriate language to convey expertise and professionalism.
