The introduction: This section should set the stage for what is presented in the article. One must provide a clear description of the problem to be addressed along with a detailed explanation of the importance of the problem. One should also define the group of stakeholders – the larger the better – for whom the stated problem is important. This is followed by the definition and detailed description of the specific research question to be addressed. A detailed justification of the importance of the question stated is also essential, along with a description of other related questions which are not addressed in your paper. A clear definition of the future beneficiaries of the answer to be obtained must also be provided.
The literature review: One must provide a critical, very brief, and comprehensive summary of the most relevant prior research by other writers worldwide attempting to address the same research question or other closely related questions. Such questions may have been addressed within the same subject domain, but also in different domains – sometimes in scholarly fields unrelated to one’s own. All cited publications should be critically reviewed; do not cite publications that you have not fully absorbed and have not explained their relevance to the subject matter presented in your paper. Avoid an excessive number of citations of publications from the same country or the same geographic region.
The research methodology (your selection of means and methods/tools employed to answer the stated research question): This section contains a description of your approach to obtain the answer to your research question. Provide a clear justification of your selection of this approach and briefly discuss any alternate approaches that also initially considered but ultimately discarded, along with justification of such a decision. Describe your data related to the performance of statistical tests and analyses.
The research results: Provide a clear, detailed description of the results. Concentrate on the main points and avoid digressing to only loosely related or unrelated topics. Your description should be aided by well-formatted and fully readable tables and figures emphasizing the main points being made. Provide clear evidence and description of the validation of the obtained results by other researchers.
The discussion of research results (discussion of the importance of the answer to the stated research question): This may be the most important section. Describe what your results mean and why they are important for the audience/readers/stakeholders targeted by this paper. Elaborate in detail on the contribution of your results to the body of new knowledge.
Conclusions and directions for future research: This section provides a summary of the most important findings. Describe in detail why this finding may be important to a global audience, not merely to your national or regional stakeholders. One must also describe the limitations of the results obtained and make suggestions on how these limitations may be overcome with follow-up research. Additionally, one should provide a detailed description of how the results presented will inspire future generations of researchers worldwide aspiring to make contributions in the same or related fields.
The references: Make sure that all cited items contain complete bibliographic data. If one feels compelled to cite a non-English language reference, make sure to provide an English translation of the title (in parentheses next to the title in the language of the publication). List your sources: minimum 10.

Interest groups are a fundamental part of democratic systems, serving as a conduit for citizens to influence public policy. However, their lobbying efforts raise significant ethical concerns. On one hand, interest groups can amplify the voices of marginalized communities, ensuring diverse perspectives in the policy-making process. This pluralism is essential for a healthy democracy, where various societal interests compete for attention and resources, reflecting a broader range of public concerns than individual voters could alone.
On the other hand, the ethical implications of interest group lobbying cannot be overlooked. The disproportionate influence of wealthy interest groups, often through substantial financial contributions and extensive lobbying networks, can undermine the democratic principle of equal representation. This imbalance can skew policy outcomes in favor of those with the most resources, rather than the most pressing public needs. For example, corporate interest groups often have the financial clout to secure favorable legislation, sometimes at the expense of public health, environmental protection, or economic equality.
