[scribus] I would like to learn your views on what I've done with Scribus for a scholarly journal

[Editor, JTCS]

Greetings,
I have tried to learn and use Scribus for a time, and the latest result 
is like what you can see on, say, 
http://dergipark.ulakbim.gov.tr/jotcsa/article/view/5000082880/5000101113 for 
example. As I am a chemist and not a designer, I would like to learn 
what I can do in order to get a better result. I am especially wondering 
if I am doing something wrong and would be glad if I can learn how to do 
better.
Thanks for your ideas,
Barbaros
