1. Reference Requirement: Articles must include references to support the points and arguments made within the text. References should be comprehensive, accurate, and current.

2. Citation Format: All cited references in the text must be numbered sequentially in the format [1] to ensure the citations are standardized and traceable. Numbers should be continuous and accurate.

3. Citation Style: References must be cited strictly in APA (American Psychological Association) format. Specific requirements are as follows:

Author's name: Last name first, followed by initials, e.g., Smith, J.

Year of publication: Immediately follows the author's name, e.g., Smith, J. (2020).

4. Plagiarism and Misconduct Detection: All references will be subjected to plagiarism and academic misconduct detection to uphold academic integrity and standardized citations.
