Research articles are essential for demonstrating specialized competencies within respective academic and professional fields, as they showcase the ability to conduct rigorous, domain-specific investigations. By systematically presenting original findings, research articles establish expertise and contribute to advancing knowledge within their discipline. Furthermore, the process of writing and publishing research articles evidences our ability to engage with, adapt to, and integrate diverse thematic issues, reflecting the evolving landscape of interdisciplinary research. This adaptability is crucial for addressing complex, real-world problems that span multiple fields, allowing to contribute insights that are both specialized and widely applicable.
