1. About the Journal

INSPIRE: Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Perspectives is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that provides a platform for high-quality scholarly research across diverse academic disciplines. The journal welcomes empirical, theoretical, conceptual, methodological, systematic review, bibliometric, and interdisciplinary studies addressing contemporary issues from local, national, regional, and global perspectives.

INSPIRE encourages research that integrates perspectives, theories, methods, or approaches from different disciplines and contributes to the advancement of knowledge and the understanding of complex contemporary challenges.

• Research design and approach
• Research location and period
• Population, sample, respondents, or research objects
• Sampling techniques
• Data collection procedures
• Variables, indicators, or parameters
• Data analysis techniques and statistical procedures
• Software or analytical tools used
• Ethical considerations, where applicable

8. Results and Discussion

Results should be presented clearly and systematically using appropriate tables, figures, or other forms of evidence. The Discussion should interpret the findings in relation to the research objectives, relevant concepts, previous studies, and the broader implications of the findings.

Authors should avoid merely repeating information presented in tables or figures and should emphasize the meaning and significance of the findings.

9. Conclusion

The Conclusion should directly address the research objectives and summarize the principal findings. It should not simply repeat the Results section. Where appropriate, authors may include implications, limitations, and recommendations for future research.

10. Tables and Figures

16. Data Availability Statement

Authors should provide a statement describing the availability of data supporting the findings of the study, where applicable. Any restrictions concerning access to research data should be clearly explained.

17. Use of Artificial Intelligence

Authors should disclose the use of generative artificial intelligence or AI-assisted technologies in the preparation of the manuscript when such technologies have materially contributed to the writing, analysis, or development of the manuscript.

AI tools should not be listed as authors. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and ethical compliance of the submitted work.
