Submission Guidelines
A soft-copy of the full-length manuscripts in APA format should be submitted electronically via Microsoft CMT through Link: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ETPW2025
​
During the initial manuscript submission process via Microsoft CMT, it is the authors’ responsibility to ensure that all the authors’ names are included in the Microsoft CMT submission page, and NOT in the paper. In particular, the Microsoft CMT registration page must include all co-authors, not just the submitting author. Failure to comply with this rule might result in your paper being withdrawn from the review process. Please be aware that the author list of an accepted paper cannot be changed in the final manuscript.
The full-length article should be a maximum of 5,000 words. The improvement of an article may be achieved in the following ways (i) more attention to language (ii) more attention to the logical coherence among the sections of the article (iii) attention to detect possible plagiarism.
​
Manuscript preparation
The manuscript should be typed in 1.5 line spacing in Arial, Font size 11. Authors should prepare manuscripts according to the American Psychological Association Publication Manual (7th ed.).
​
Guidelines for preserving anonymity with double-blind submission:
-
The names and affiliations of authors should be removed from the title page of the Word or PDF file that will be submitted for review. This information needs to be included in the final camera-ready manuscript if the paper gets accepted. For the initial review of the manuscript, authors need to include all the author details only at the Microsoft CMT registration page. The Word/PDF file of the manuscript which is submitted for initial review should not contain any identifying information.
-
Acknowledgments of identifying names and funding sources should be removed from the paper that will be submitted for review. This information can be included in the final camera ready manuscript if the paper gets accepted.
-
Project titles or names that can be used to trace authors via a web search engine should also be deleted.

Papers with the same title and abstract should not be posted on a public website, such as arxiv.org, or transmitted via public mailing lists.​
