Headings
must be short, with a clear indication of the distinction
between the hierarchy of headings. The preferred format is for
headings to be presented in bold format, with consecutive
numbering.
Notes
or Endnotes should be used only if
absolutely necessary and must be identified in the text by
consecutive numbers, enclosed in square brackets and listed at
the end of the article.
All Figures
(e.g. models, charts, and diagrams) should be of clear quality, in black and
white and numbered consecutively with arabic numerals.
Tables
should be typed and included as part of the manuscript. They
should not be submitted as graphic elements. Supply succinct and
clear captions for all tables, figures and plates. Ensure that
any superscripts or asterisks are shown next to the relevant
items and have corresponding explanations displayed as footnotes
to the table, figure or plate.
References
to other publications must be in APA style and carefully
checked for completeness, accuracy and consistency. You should cite publications in the text: (Adams, 2006) using
the first named author's name or (Adams and Brown, 2006) citing
both names of two, or (Adams et al., 2006), when there
are three or more authors. At the end of the paper a reference
list in alphabetical order should be supplied.
Suggesting Reviewers(Optional)
Authors are requested to provide a list of at least 2 "suggested
reviewers" for their manuscript. To do so, authors should
complete "Reviewer
Suggestion Form" and send it along with their Manuscript.
There should be no conflict of interest between the authors and
suggested reviewers. Besides, the suggested reviewers should not
be from the same institute that the authors are affiliated with.
It should be noted that the journal editor may or may not assign
the manuscript to the suggested reviewers.
Review Process
Papers are initially reviewed by the editors to make sure they
meet journal's scope and objectives. Later, in case they are
consistent with journal's scope, they will be sent our for blind
review process. Although we strive to provide the review result
as soon as possible, it might normally take up to 8 weeks for
the review.
