The quality of a scientific article depends on more than the results. Study context, exclusion decisions and precise outcome definitions all influence how editors and readers assess the work.<\/p>\n

Why the timing of data collection belongs in the methods section<\/h2>\n

The period in which data were collected can shape interpretation, especially in fields affected by policy changes, outbreaks, economic shifts or seasonal effects. Reporting dates gives readers the context needed to judge whether conditions may have influenced the findings.<\/p>\n

Core submission structure<\/h2>\n

Current Science Georgia\u2019s public author guidance asks for a title, author names and affiliations, corresponding-author email, ORCID where available, abstract, keywords, structured main text and references.<\/p>\n

The online system accepts PDF, DOC and DOCX files; the abstract and keywords are also entered separately, so core metadata should remain consistent between the manuscript and submission form.<\/p>\n

Editorial screening<\/h2>\n

Editorial screening may consider scope, academic suitability, originality, ethical compliance, technical quality and completeness.<\/p>\n

Fee after acceptance<\/h2>\n

The current Article Processing & Publication Fee is 395 EUR and is requested only after editorial acceptance. Payment before acceptance is not required and payment does not guarantee acceptance.<\/p>\n

Publication record<\/h2>\n
