Updated Author Guidelines and Implementation of Crossref DOI Standards

Dear Authors and Contributors,

To strengthen the journal's international indexing profile (Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ), the Editorial Board has implemented updated guidelines for manuscript submissions:

1. IMRAD Structure: All manuscripts must strictly adhere to the IMRAD format: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion.
2. Anti-Plagiarism Screening: All submitted manuscripts undergo rigorous similarity screening. The required originality rate is at least 70–75% (similarity index max 25–30%).
3. Romanized References: For papers written in Kazakh or Russian, an additional Romanized/Latin-transliterated References section is required.
4. Mandatory ORCID: Every contributing author must include a valid ORCID iD.

Full guidelines are available in the Author Guidelines section.
