Note: Authors must use the journal's prescribed manuscript template for submission.

The abstract should clearly summarize the objectives, methodology, key findings, and conclusions of the study (150–250 words). Authors should provide 4–6 relevant keywords immediately below the abstract to facilitate online indexing.

All figures and tables must be clearly labeled, titled, and numbered consecutively. Images should be of high resolution suitable for publication. Mathematical equations should be properly formatted using MathType/Equation Editor and numbered consecutively in parentheses. Authors are responsible for obtaining copyright permission to reproduce any copyrighted graphics.

References must be complete, accurate, and consistently formatted according to the journal's prescribed reference style. Authors are strongly encouraged to cite recent, peer-reviewed, and high-impact literature relevant to their domain.

Before submitting, authors should verify that:

• The manuscript is original and unpublished.
• The manuscript falls within the official scope of JDIC.
• All co-authors have reviewed and approved the submitted version.
• The manuscript complies with all formatting guidelines.
• Necessary permissions have been obtained for third-party materials.

All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous double-blind peer-review process to ensure scientific quality and academic integrity:

Authors are expected to submit authentic research, properly acknowledge previous literature through correct citations, refrain from data fabrication or manipulation, and disclose any potential conflicts of interest. JDIC adheres strictly to COPE guidelines.

All listed authors must have made substantial contributions to the conception, design, data collection, analysis, or manuscript drafting. Any change in authorship after initial submission must be formally approved by all co-authors and the editorial office.

Authors must explicitly declare any financial, personal, or professional relationships that could influence the outcome of the research. If no conflict exists, authors should state: "The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest."

When revisions are requested, authors should address all reviewer comments point-by-point in a response letter. Modifications in the revised manuscript should be highlighted or clearly tracked.

A manuscript is accepted for publication only after successfully completing peer review, resolving all reviewer suggestions, and receiving final editorial board approval.

Authors retain responsibility for the originality of their research. Upon acceptance, licensing agreement details are communicated to authors prior to official release.

The journal reserves the right to issue formal errata/corrections or retract published papers in transparent accordance with international publication ethics guidelines if severe errors or misconduct occur.
