Editorial Standards

International academic standards are a set of guidelines regulating the drafting, publication, and citation of scientific works. These standards ensure uniformity, quality, and rigor in academic publications. While these guidelines are common across many scientific fields, they should always be adapted to specific disciplines, journals, or publishers.
