This section publishes original scholarly articles that contribute to the advancement of knowledge within the scope and disciplines covered by the journal. Submissions should present a clear research purpose, appropriate theoretical or conceptual foundations, sound and transparent methods, well-supported findings, and a discussion that demonstrates the significance of the study.

Manuscripts submitted to this section must be original, have not been previously published, and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
