DORA Statement

This journal endorses the principles of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and is committed to responsible research evaluation practices.

We emphasize that the quality of research should be judged based on its intrinsic merit, including originality, methodological rigor, and contribution to the field, rather than on journal-based metrics such as the Journal Impact Factor.

Editorial decisions in this journal are made through a rigorous peer-review process that focuses on the scientific validity, relevance, and significance of submitted manuscripts.

We encourage the use of a broad range of research assessment indicators, including qualitative and article-level metrics, to ensure a fair and transparent evaluation of scholarly work.
