• Article files should be provided in Microsoft Word or PDF format. LaTex files can be used if an accompanying PDF document is provided. PDF as a sole file type is not accepted, a PDF must be accompanied by the source file.
• Articles should be:
  • Written between 8 to 12 pages, typed in single column using Times New Roman. This includes all text including references and appendices.
  • Maximum pt. font for Title is 14pt.
  • Maximum is 300 words in total for abstract. Authors should provide appropriate and short keywords (at least 3 words).
  • Headings must be concise, with a clear indication of the distinction between the hierarchies of headings. The preferred format is for first level headings to be presented in bold format and subsequent sub-headings to be presented in medium italics.
  • Your manuscript should include introduction, previous study (literature review), objectives, methodology, results, discussion and conclusion. However, depending on your content, some of our suggestion can be expanded or reduced.
  • Equations should be centered with equation numbers on the right-hand side (flush right).
  • Figures, tables, and equations must be inserted in the text and may not be grouped at the end of the paper. If you need to arrange a number of figures, a good tip is to place them in a table, which gives you additional control of the layout
  • Cite all Figures/Table/Equations in the text consecutively. The word “Figure” should be spelled out if it is the first word of the sentence
• We suggest that notes or endnotes should be avoided unless necessary. If necessary, it must be identified in the text by consecutive numbers, enclosed in square brackets and listed at the end of the article.
• References can be in any kind of style but make it consistent throughout the paper.
• The final format for camera-ready article will follow the identified Scopus indexed journal published.
