• Research Articles should include an abstract, keywords, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, and conclusion.
• Review Articles should contain an abstract, keywords, and the main text; a conclusion is optional.
• For other article types, the abstract, keywords, and conclusion are optional.

The abstract must succinctly summarize the study's concept, methodology, primary results, and the author's conclusions, with a maximum length of 250 words. Keywords should highlight the article's main themes and consist of 4-10 terms. Any abbreviations used must be defined.

The Introduction should provide a concise overview of the subject area and the rationale behind the study.

The Materials and Methods section must detail all methods used in the study sufficiently for replication by other researchers.

Results should be presented in a logical sequence, referencing tables, figures, and supplementary material as appropriate.

The Discussion must highlight the study's new and significant findings, draw conclusions, and analyze the current data in relation to previous research. Limitations of the experimental methods should be acknowledged, along with implications for future research. New hypotheses and clinical recommendations should be clearly articulated. Tables and figures, along with their legends, should be cited appropriately in the text and submitted as separate Word files.

Acknowledgements can include recognition of contributions to the work, and any funding sources should be clearly stated in this section.
