Units as the primary listing and to include, in parentheses, other conventional units only when their listing is extremely necessary to improve immediate understanding of the article contents. Authors are asked after acceptance of their paper, to send the manuscript on a disc indicating the software used.
  2. Layout: Authors are requested to adhere to the following order: Title, authors(s) affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text (1-Introduction, 2-Materials and Methods, 3-Results and Discussion, 4-Acknowledgments(optional), 5-Appendices (optional), 6-References.
  3. Length: The total number of papers should not exceed 10 printed pages of the Journal.
  4. Title: The title should be concise and brief.
  5. Abstract: The abstract should not exceed 200 words. It should contain the keywords of the papers as well as the essence of the results achieved.
  6. Figures: Each Figure must be referred to in the text, and have a caption below it. The captions should be indicated in the margin axes of figures and must be labelled properly. The drawings for the figures must be copied by a scanner and inserted in a suitable location after the paragraph that refers to the figure directly. The figures should be identified by the name and figure number.
  7. Tables: Tables should be inserted in a suitable location after the paragraph that refers to the table directly and each table should have a number and headed by a tittle.
  8. References: References to other works should be consecutively numbered in which they are cited in the text identified by Arabic numerals in square brackets [ ], and should be listed by number on a separate sheet at the end of the paper. Examples of correct reference forms are given below.
