Manuscript Guidelines

Submission

All manuscript submissions should be made via the journal’s website: www.eia.feaa.ugal.ro

All correspondence, including notification of the Editor’s decision and requests for revision, is conducted electronically via email: eai.feaa.ugal@gmail.com

Manuscripts must be written in English and be original; they must not have been previously published and must not be under consideration elsewhere. Submissions that meet the journal’s aims and scope will undergo a double-blind peer review, normally by at least two referees. To ensure blind review, authors should provide files free from any identifying information. Contact details should be entered during the online submission process and included on a title page not shared with referees.

Submission Declaration

Submitted manuscripts must contain original work that has not been published previously or submitted for publication elsewhere.

Papers are accepted for review with the understanding that no substantial part has been published or is under consideration elsewhere, and that submission has been approved by all authors and their affiliated institutions. Any person cited as a source of personal communications must have approved the citation.

Publication in limited-distribution “Proceedings” or in a working paper series does not disqualify a manuscript. Authors must disclose any papers published or under review in other journals that are based on similar data or methods, and clarify how the present work differs. By submitting a manuscript, authors agree that if accepted for publication, copyright, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, will be assigned exclusively to the Publisher.

Introduction

Introduce the research problem, its importance, objectives, and relevant background. Avoid lengthy literature surveys or detailed results.

Literature Review

Summarize existing research, highlight gaps, and explicitly state the purpose of your study.

Methods

Provide full disclosure of methods and data. The description should be detailed enough to allow replication. Include study participants, sample size, selection criteria, and any relevant experimental or survey procedures.

Results
