Author Guidelines

Use the following guidelines for whole text, including abstract, keywords, heading and references. All sections of the manuscript must be typed as follows:

Font: Title size 12 (the rest size 10), type Times New Roman, line spacing 1.0, and all pages numbered starting from the title page. Tables should be kept to a minimum and be designed to be as simple as possible. Tables are to be typed 1.0 spaced throughout, including headings. Each table should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and supplied with a heading and a legend where applicable. Tables should be self-explanatory without reference to the text. The same data should not be presented in both table and graph form or repeated in the text. Figure legends should be typed in numerical order. Graphics should be prepared using Microsoft Word manuscript file. Tables should be prepared in Microsoft Word. Use Arabic numerals to designate figures and upper case letters for their parts (Fig 1). Begin each legend with a title and include sufficient description so that the figure is understandable without reading the text of the manuscript. Information given in legends should not be repeated in the text. Use the system devised by the American Psychological Association (APA style), latest version. Avoid using footnotes.
