PRESENTATION
1. TEXT: It should be written in Times New Roman font and in 12 pt. It should not exceed 20 pages, excluding references and figures and scanning texts. Authors should specify what type of article their article is (Research Paper or Review Paper).
2. TITLE: TheTITLE: The title of the manuscript should follow sentence case, with only the first letter of the first word capitalized. In first- and second-degree headings within the text, the first letter of each word should be capitalized. In third-degree headings, only the first letter of the heading should be capitalized. No expressions in parentheses () should be used in the titles.
3. ABSTRACT: It should be not exceeding 250 words.
4. KEYWORDS: 4-6 significant keywords should follow the abstract to aid indexing.
5. MANUSCRIPT STRUCTURE: In general, the manuscript should cover the introduction, methods, results and discussion, and conclusions sections.
Notes:
The introduction should provide a review of relevant literature and sufficient background information to allow the results of the article to be understood and evaluated.
The methods section should provide detailed descriptions of the materials and methods used.
The results section should clearly and concisely present the data, using figures and tables.
The discussion section should describe the relationships and generalizations shown by the results, discuss the significance of the findings, and compare them with previously published work. The results and discussion sections may be combined in certain cases to ensure a more fluid presentation, such as when direct discussion of the results is necessary.
The conclusions section should highlight the main findings and provide recommendations for future research, avoiding duplication of the abstract.
Acknowledgment of collaboration or assistance (optional) may be included. However, it is mandatory to acknowledge the sources of funding for the research.
6. REFERENCES: must be cited consecutively in the text using square brackets [1] and collected together in a reference list at the end of the manuscript. (In references to be added at the end of sentences, a period sign should be placed after the reference given in square brackets.)
Notes:
A reference list must be included using the following information as a guide. Only cited text references are to be included. Each reference is to be referred to in the text by a number enclosed in a square bracket (i.e. [3] or [2] to [4] for more references; do not combine more than 3 references, explain each).
References must be numbered and ordered according to where they are first mentioned in the paper, not alphabetically. All references must be complete and accurate. Please add the DOI code if available.
