Author Guidelines

Flexibility
We provide our authors flexibility in formatting their manuscripts. Your article doesn’t have to conform to a strict structure. While all manuscripts require essential elements, we do not impose any limit on article length or the number of tables and figures. If you need guidance, we also provide templates as a guide and facilitate the writing process systematically (download template).

This guideline is designed to help authors write review articles that align with the journal's mission and meet the standards of high impact.

  1. TITLE

The title should clearly reflect the interdisciplinary scope and intellectual focus of the review. Use concise, precise language that includes relevant keywords and communicates the article’s cross-disciplinary relevance.

Example: "Beyond Disciplinary Borders: A Narrative Review of Neuroscience's Influence on Moral Philosophy"

  1. ABSTRACT

Write a structured abstract (200–250 words) that includes:

  • The context and importance of the topic
  • The primary objective and scope of the review
  • Methodology used in identifying and selecting literature
  • Key findings and thematic insights
  • The broader implications for interdisciplinary knowledge
  • 4–6 keywords
  1. INTRODUCTION

This section should:

  • Establish the background of the topic within its original discipline(s)
  • Discuss its potential relevance to or impact on other fields
  • Review current literature and identify existing silos or conceptual boundaries
  • Clearly state the research problem or question that the review seeks to address
  • Explain the unique interdisciplinary contribution the article aims to make

Use the CARS model: establishing a territory, identifying a niche, and occupying the niche emphasizing cross-disciplinary significance.

  1. REVIEW METHODOLOGY

Even though the article does not collect new empirical data, you must detail the methodology used to curate, analyze, and synthesize the literature:

  • Sources of information (e.g., Scopus, JSTOR, Web of Science, etc.)
  • Search strategies and keywords used
  • Inclusion and exclusion criteria
  • The number and types of documents reviewed (e.g., empirical studies, theoretical works, case analyses)
  • Analytical approach (narrative synthesis, thematic categorization, critical comparison)
  1. RESULTS AND THEMATIC SYNTHESIS

This section presents the results of the literature analysis:

  • Identify central themes or emerging trends across disciplines
  • Highlight cross-field influences, contradictions, or synergies
  • Provide illustrative examples of theoretical or conceptual transfers between disciplines
  • Include visual aids (tables, frameworks, diagrams) to map disciplinary intersections and flows of ideas
  • You must include at least one illustration that presents your research findings in general
  1. DISCUSSION

The discussion should provide a reflective and critical synthesis:

  • Interpret the significance of the thematic patterns
  • Analyze the strengths, limitations, and blind spots in current interdisciplinary dialogues
  • Examine how findings challenge existing assumptions or open new perspectives
  • Situate the review within broader debates or frameworks that span multiple disciplines
  1. LIMITATIONS

This section should acknowledge the boundaries of your review:

  • Limitations in scope, such as language or region
  • Disciplinary biases or gaps in the literature base
  • Limitations in the depth of integration across disciplines
  1. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS

This section should:

  • Summarize the main insights and contributions of the review
  • Highlight implications for theory development, research design, practice, or policy across fields
  • Offer recommendations for future interdisciplinary research
  • Reinforce the need for ongoing dialogue between disciplines
  1. REFERENCES
  • A minimum of 30 scholarly sources (optional: batter if you do)
  • Preferably from Scopus/Web of Science indexed journals
  • Most references should be published within the last 5–10 years
  • Include sources from multiple disciplines where relevant
  • Use IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) citation style

ADDITIONAL NOTES FOR AUTHORS

  • Maintain an academic, critical, and reflective tone
  • Avoid excessive jargon specific to one field use accessible language for an interdisciplinary readership
  • Ensure smooth transitions between disciplinary perspectives
  • Include conceptual tables, diagrams, or narrative models if they enhance clarity
  • Ensure originality and proper citation practices
