    Extended Abstract Submission Guidelines

    Authors of accepted manuscripts are required to submit a detailed 1300-word extended abstract in English, formatted with the following sections:

    1. Title
    2. Authors and Affiliations
    3. Introduction
    4. Literature Review
    5. Methodology
    6. Results
    7. Discussion
    8. References (with accessible links, where applicable)
    Important Note: The word count does not include references, tables, or figures 
  4. The journal accommodates one special English issue annually.
  5. There is no word limit for articles in the journal.
  6. The journal retains the right to accept or reject articles and reserves the option to edit them.
  7. References should be cited both within the text and at the conclusion of the article in adherence to the most recent APA guidelines.
  8. Manuscripts should be structured in accordance with the manuscript writing system guidelines established by the Persian Language and Literature Academy.
  9. The Latin equivalents of names and terms, alongside additional explanations if needed, should be detailed in footnotes upon their initial usage.
  10. References within the article's text should be enclosed in parentheses (last name, year: page number/pages). For instance: (Rasekh-Mahand, 1389:18). For Persian manuscripts, when citing non-Persian sources, the same format applies as for Persian sources, but in Latin, e.g., Haspelmath, 2010:20). If the author's name is stated outside the parentheses, it should be in Persian, with the Latin equivalent provided in footnote form.

  13. It is mandatory for Persian sources listed at the end of the article to be translated into Latin, with the term [in Persian] in front of them in the Latin sources section.
  14. Author details, including name and surname in both Persian and Latin, academic rank, workplace name and address, postal and email addresses, mobile phone numbers, along with the article title, should be presented on a separate page.
