Review Articles  – Submission Requirements

 Review articles submitted to CSJ should go beyond a simple compilation of current literature and must provide a critical, analytical, and comprehensive evaluation of the topic.

Authors are expected to adhere to the following guidelines:

• Review manuscripts should not merely summarize existing studies; instead, they must present a critical discussion, synthesis, and evaluation of the current state of knowledge in the field.
• Submissions should demonstrate original insight, identify research gaps, and propose future research directions where appropriate.
• The number of references should typically range between 40 and 70, with an emphasis on recent and high-impact studies.
• Reviews should prioritize scientific interpretation and discussion rather than presenting textbook-style or purely descriptive information.
• The total number of figures and tables combined should not exceed 15.
• Any figures, tables, or graphical materials reproduced or adapted from other sources must be properly cited, and authors are responsible for obtaining all necessary copyright permissions. CSJ does not accept liability for any copyright infringements.
• Review articles should be well-structured, including (but not limited to) an abstract, clearly defined sections, and a concluding perspective that highlights key findings and implications.
• Submissions must maintain a high level of academic quality, clarity, and coherence, and should be written in professional scientific English.

The acceptance of review articles is subject to editorial evaluation and peer review, and publication will depend on the positive recommendations of both the assigned editor and reviewers, as well as the availability of space in an appropriate issue.
