Important Information for Authors

Articles may originate from any country but must be written in English.
Submissions are evaluated based on scientific validity and technical quality rather than perceived impact.
The journal does not accept articles that list chatbots as co-authors or manuscripts that rely on chatbots as sources. Following the EASE recommendations, authors who have used AI tools in developing their articles must include a statement in the AI declaration section specifying the technologies used and their purpose. This requirement does not apply to software such as spelling or grammar checkers or reference management tools.
The journal editors reserve the right to return improperly formatted articles to authors without peer review.
The journal does not enforce a specific variant of English, but grammar must be at a publishable level upon receipt. If the article is not written in the author’s native language, authors are encouraged to seek assistance from a native speaker or professional proofreader before submission.
Published articles are hierarchically numbered and licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). Authors retain the copyright and publishing rights without restrictions.
Each author may submit a maximum of two articles (as the first author of one and co-author of another).
Starting from January 1, 2025, each article may list a maximum of three (3) authors. If a submission includes more than three authors, the corresponding author must provide a detailed written justification, along with a clear author contribution statement outlining the specific role of each individual. The Editorial Board retains the right to accept or reject such submissions based on the quality and credibility of the justification provided.
For co-authored submissions, the corresponding author must provide written and signed official permission from all co-authors to the journal’s Editorial Board. This permission must confirm that all listed co-authors are aware of and agree to be named as co-authors. It should also affirm that all co-authors have made significant contributions to the research, writing, and/or analysis of the submitted paper. Furthermore, the co-authors must agree on the content and direction of the paper and consent to its submission for publication.
To ensure a double-blind review process, the article text must not include any information identifying the authors or collaborators.
On average, the process from submission to publication takes approximately 14 weeks. However, this timeline may vary depending on specific factors, such as the time required to identify the most suitable peer reviewers for the manuscript.
Articles will only be published after the authors validate the final proofs.
Each author must submit a short biography (maximum of 100 words) and provide their ORCID iD.
Articles should be submitted in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx).
The journal employs Grammarly as its plagiarism screening tool.
The CRediT author statement enables authors to furnish submission details, allowing for a thorough account of individual contributions in articles with multiple authors. The contributions will be disclosed in the final article and should accurately represent each author’s role.
Consent from the authors, affirming that the article is their original work, should accompany the article submission in the form of the JLIA Declaration of Originality.
