Providing a practical guide for researchers on submitting their work in accordance with ethical and methodological research standards. It was suggested that this guide be presented in an interactive visual format using PowerPoint with practical case studies.
-
Encouraging participation in scientific journals as reviewers to enhance expertise in research evaluation.
-
Ensuring that research is assessed based on precise scientific standards that align with the scope, requirements, and policies of the respective journal.
