Submission Preparation Checklist

All submissions must meet the following requirements.

  • If generative AI tools were used, they were solely for linguistic checks (e.g., grammar, syntax, readability) and not for content generation, data interpretation, or authorship. All AI-assisted edits were reviewed and approved by the human author(s).
  • The manuscript is original, has not been previously published, and is not under consideration elsewhere, either in whole or in part.
  • All figures are prepared in high resolution (300 dpi), use Georgia font, and incorporate NTJ-approved color tones. Black-and-white figures are not accepted unless scientifically justified.
  • The manuscript follows the stylistic, structural, and bibliographic requirements as detailed in the Author Guidelines.
  • References have been prepared using one of the accepted reference management tools: EndNote, Zotero, or Mendeley. Use of other tools is not permitted.
  • Authors agree to support NTJ’s Open Access policy. No Article Processing Charges (APCs) are required. NTJ is fully open access and author-fee-free.
