The Editorial Board strongly recommends citing original sources and prioritizing references from journals with at least an ISSN. For literature review or conceptual studies, books may be used as primary references. References must follow APA 6th Edition style, single-spaced, and arranged alphabetically. The use of reference management software such as Mendeley is recommended.
