Editorial

The Editorial section aims to provide commentary and reflections on topics of general interest to the academic and professional community. Editorials may cover current issues, emerging trends, public policies, scientific advancements, or any other matter relevant to the journal's field of study. Editorial articles are written by members of the editorial board or invited experts with recognized experience in the area. These pieces are not subject to peer review but must adhere to the academic rigor and clarity standards set by the journal. Editorials reflect the author's opinion and do not necessarily represent the official stance of the journal.

Submitted manuscripts must follow a careful methodology, present solid analysis, and be supported by up-to-date and relevant references.
