Author Guidlines

The author should submit the paper via e-mail and online submission. The content of the article should not be submitted simultaneously to another journal.

How to Prepare a Manuscript
There is no general limitation of the overall size nor the number of figures or the level of details considered to be necessary. However, the appropriate length of a manuscript depends on the information presented in the paper. A manuscript should consist of the following content.

Title
The title should be simple, concise and informative, with only the first word capitalized. A shortened version of the title consisting of a maximum of 100 characters (including spaces) for running headers should also be provided.

Author(s), Name(s), and Affiliation(s)
A list of all authors, corresponding addresses, and e-mail addresses should be provided. A numerical superscript corresponding should precede each address to the same superscript after the name of the author concerned. Addresses should contain all information necessary for effective mail delivery. E-mail should also be provided to speed up communication between readers and authors. This information will be published unless the authors request otherwise.

Abstract
An abstract should accompany each manuscript; it should be completely self-consistent (i.e., with no figure, table, equation or reference citations), not exceeding 300 words and written as a single paragraph.

Main Body of the Paper

  1. The body of the paper must range between 6000 - 8000 words, written in Times New Roman. It could be divided into sections. Sections should be bold. Subsections should be italic.
  2. Please be consistent throughout, whichever spelling you choose (British or American English).
  3. Use hyphens consistently and avoid unnecessary ones.
  4. The words “section(s)”, “equation(s)”, “figure(s)” and “reference(s)” are abbreviated as “sect(s).”, "fig(s).", "eq(s)." and "ref(s)." unless they are the first word of a sentence. The word "table" is always written in full.
  5. Latin expressions, e.g., i.e., et al., versus (vs.) should be set in italic.
  6. All terms or titles in Arabic should be transliterated by following the Library of Congress guide. The name of a person should not be transliterated.

The Proof Correction Stage
Once proofs are ready, an e-mail will inform the authors and be attached in pdf format.

  2. Only essential corrections are accepted.
  3. The author has the final responsibility for the corrections.
  4. Corrections should be returned within 48 hours and can be sent back either as a detailed list by e-mail (quoting the amendment's location with page, columns and line number). Please do not alter the PDF proof file, add annotations or send back an amended manuscript file.
  5. The paper will be corrected and posted for online publication when the proofs are returned.
