· ORCID iDs of all authors (where available)

· Funding information (if applicable)

Abstract and Keywords:

· Research articles should include an abstract of 250 words, structured as: Background/Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusion (for empirical studies) or a general abstract for theoretical/humanities papers.

· 5–8 keywords should be provided below the abstract.

· For French-language manuscripts, an abstract in French (Résumé) and English (Abstract) is required, along with keywords (Mots-clés) in both languages.

Manuscript Structure: Empirical research articles should generally follow the IMRaD structure (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion). Humanities and theoretical papers may adopt a structure appropriate to their disciplinary conventions (e.g., Introduction, Theoretical Framework, Analysis, Conclusion). The following elements should be included as applicable:

· Introduction

· Literature Review / Theoretical Framework

· Methodology

· Results/Findings

· Discussion

· Conclusion

· References

· Appendices (if any)

References: The journal uses the APA 7th Edition referencing style for all submissions. In-text citations should follow the author-date format. The reference list should include only works cited in the text and should be arranged alphabetically. DOIs should be included where available.

Tables and Figures:

· Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively and placed in the text near their first citation.

· Tables should be submitted in editable format (not as images).

· Figures should be high-resolution (300 dpi minimum) and submitted as separate files (JPEG, PNG, or TIFF).

· Captions should be provided for all tables and figures.

Data Availability: Authors are encouraged to include a data availability statement indicating whether and where the data supporting the findings can be accessed.

AI Disclosure: Authors must disclose any use of generative AI in the preparation of the manuscript, specifying the tool used and the purpose (e.g., language editing, idea generation). AI tools should not be used to generate substantive research content.

Other Humanities Areas: Philosophy, fine and applied arts, theatre and performing arts, music, cultural studies, gender studies, and related fields.

Science-Based Areas: Contributions from science-based disciplines that engage with humanistic questions or that address issues of societal relevance, including but not limited to: environmental studies, medical humanities, digital humanities, science and technology studies, and geography.

Interdisciplinary Contributions: The journal particularly encourages submissions that cross disciplinary boundaries, combining perspectives from two or more of the above areas to address complex research questions.
