Article Preparation

Abstract
Research articles and reviews should be started with a summary that highlights new information and briefly describes the content of the article. Abbreviations and jargon must not be used. The abstracts should be suitable for abstract format without rewriting. Abstract for a maximum of 250 words should be placed after the address of the author and one blank line. After one blank line from the abstract, key words should be written.

Keywords
Key words reflecting the major features of the work should be inserted. Key words should be written as italic and occured at least three words but no more than five words.

The Text
This is the numbered part of the manuscript which may include the parts: 1. Introduction, 2. Experimental/Theoretical Framework 3. Results and Discussion, 4. References. The text may include sub headings with the following numbering style (2.1, 2.2,…etc.). The minimum and maximum number of pages should be 2 and 15 respectively. If necessary the advisory board may increase the maximum.

Introduction
Every paper must have a concise introduction explaining the state of the topic, and stating clearly what is new in the paper submitted.

Experimental
The experimental methods and the materials used should be described after the introductory paragraphs. Detailed technical descriptions should be restricted to one section of the paper, and not scattered throughout the text. Sufficient information should be given to allow any reasonably experienced worker to carry out the procedure. Detailed descriptions of well-known techniques and equipment are unnecessary, as are simple preparations of reagents or solutions, and lists of common materials. In writing, complete sentences should be used.

Results and Discussion
Preferably these should be treated together to avoid unnecessary repetition. Unsupported elaboration of hypotheses and verbose exposition of ideas should be avoided. Results and Discussion may be presented in different sections.

Acknowledgements
If any support is given to the work by an institution or a person, it should be indicated as acknowledgement in the manuscript. Acknowledgements should be kept as short as possible, and placed at the conclusion of the text.

References
Literature references are to be numbered consecutively and should be grouped together at the end of the paper under the heading “References”. In the text references are quoted by giving the corresponding numbers of the references list as Arabic numerals in square brackets. APA style, which is the international reference writing format, should be used. In scientific articles using footnotes, the references for footnotes should be included in the references at the end of the article.

Nomenclature, symbols and abbreviations
In general, the recommendations of the SI units should be followed. Symbols, formulas and equations should be written with great care, capitals and lower case letters being distinguished where necessary. Particular care should be taken in typing mathematical expressions containing superscripts and in proof-reading such equations. Mathematical expressions should be written by an equation editor (Word format) in 9 point size. Indices font should be 8 point size. Each equation in text should be numbered in parenthesis ( ). Unusual symbols employed for the first time should be defined by name in the left-hand margin. Abbreviations require definition when first used.
