Guide for Authors

Authors should submit their manuscripts through the Journal online submission.
1. Papers submitted for publication should describe high quality original work, not previously partially or fully published elsewhere.
2. Manuscripts must be submitted only in English and should be written according to sound grammar and proper terminology.

E-citations:
9. Citations for articles/material published exclusively online or in open access (free-to-view), must contain the exact Web
addresses at the end of the reference(s), except those posted on an author’s Web site unless editorially essential, e.g. ‘Reference:
Available from: URL’.
Some important points to remember:

Appendices: In case there is a need to present lengthy, but essential methodological details, use appendices, which can be a part of
the article. An appendix must not exceed three pages (Times New Roman, 12 point fonts, 900 max. words per page). The
information should be provided in a condensed form, ruling out the need for full sentences. A single appendix should be titled
APPENDIX, while more than one can be titled APPENDIX A, APPENDIX B, and so on.

Inclusion of the approval letter from the relevant Ethics Committee or Institution’s Review Board regarding the research protocol and the rights of the subjects (if applicable to the study).
