Abstract (Constantia Font, Bold, Size 11). A Concise and factual abstract not exceeding 200 words in length is required. The abstract should briefly describe the purpose of the Study, how the investigation was performed, the principle results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, for this reason, references should be avoided; nevertheless, if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Non-standard and unfamiliar abbreviations should be avoided, if essential, they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself (Constantia Font, Size 11, 1.15 line spacing).
Keywords (Constantia Font, Bold & Italic, Size 11): provide minimum 5 – 8 keywords, separated by commas. Use American spelling and avoid using abbreviations that are not firmly established in the field (Constantia Font, Italic, Size 11, 1.15 line spacing).
1. Introduction (Constantia Font, Bold, Size 12, 1.15 line spacing) The Introduction should explain the aim of the manuscript. It includes the purpose of the investigation and relating the text to similar research. It should point to the studied case materials together with the methods of analysis investigation (Constantia Font, Size 12, 1.15 line spacing). 2. Materials and Methods (Constantia Font, Bold, Size 12, 1.15 line spacing) Author(s) should provide enough information about all used materials, equipment, and measurements. Full data on the products, the manufacturers and suppliers should be given. The selection criteria of methods and techniques “the Methodology” in addition to the operating conditions or limitations of the method should be clarified. Moreover, author(s) should report the experimental protocols and the international standards for testing or assessment. When applied in the study, data on computer codes, programs and software should be presented (Constantia Font, Size 12, 1.15 line spacing). 3. Results and Discussion (Constantia Font, Bold, Size 12, 1.15 line spacing) Results and discussion should be presented together. Author(s) should simply include the findings of the study in text format, tables, chart and figures. Do not duplicate results. Readers appreciate the clarity of the results that are consistent with the research questions described in the introduction. The author (s) should also present their own interpretation of the results and draw out the implications of their findings (Constantia Font, Size 12, 1.15 line spacing).
3.1 Sub Heading 1 (Constantia Font, Bold & Italic, Size 12, 1.5 line spacing)
3.2 Tables and Figures (Constantia Font, Bold & Italic, Size 12, 1.5 line spacing)
Figures should be limited to the number necessary to support the main points of the paper. The figures will be reproduced to page width. Both labelling on figures and keys should be legible when reduced to final size, where lettering should be approximately 8pt in size (equivalent to 2mm in height for capital letters) at final width. Curves should be clear, and any symbols used on graphs should be recognizable following reduction of graphs.
As the journal is published in electronic format, the digital image can be zoomed on-screen and printed at any page size. For this reason a scale bar on the figure is preferable instead of using magnification in picture captions.
General points:
Use uniform lettering and sizing of original artwork, where fonts in illustrations should be: Arial, Courier, Times, Symbol.
Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text.
Provide captions to illustrations separately.
Produce images near to the desired size of the printed version.
Provide JPG/TIFF files, NOT lower than 300DPI.
The figures must be imported, on separate pages, at the end of the manuscript after references and indicate their approximate locations directly in the manuscript (Fig. 1), provided with captions of the figures next to them.
Tables should be included after the references and should supplement, not duplicate, the text. Each table should include a legend. The first sentence of the legend should be a brief descriptive title.
4. Conclusion (Constantia Font, Bold, Size 12, 1.15 line spacing)
Author(s) should briefly restate the topic as well as explain its significance. Do not spend a great amount of time or space restating your topic. A good research paper highlights the importance of the selected topic; and therefore, you do not need to write an elaborate defense of your topic in the conclusion. Usually a single sentence is all you need to restate your topic.
Briefly summarize the main points. Essentially, you need to remind your reader what you told them in the body of the paper. A good way to go about this is to re-read the topic sentence of each major paragraph or section in the body of your paper.
Add the points up. If your paper proceeds in an inductive manner and you have not fully explained the significance of your points yet, you need to do so in your conclusion. Note that this is not needed for all research papers.
Make a call to action when appropriate. If and when needed, you can state to your readers that there is a need for further research on your topic. Note that a call for action is not essential to all conclusions.
The conclusion of a research paper needs to summarize the content and purpose of the paper without seeming too wooden or dry (Constantia Font, Size 12, 1.15 line spacing).
Acknowledgement (Constantia Font, Bold, Size 12, 1.15 line spacing)
The authors can acknowledge any person/institution(s) in this section (Constantia Font, Size 12, 1.15 line spacing).
Conflict of Interest (Constantia Font, Bold, Size 12, 1.15 line spacing)
Conflicts of interest are added after the conclusion and before the references (Constantia Font, Size 12, 1.15 line spacing).
