INSTRUCTION FOR AUTHORS

Preparation of Manuscripts

Manuscripts should be prepared in English using a word processor.

Authors are strongly encouraged to use templates (Template file for original article) or (Template file for short report) for the preparation of manuscripts. The template offers the authors many features that ease manuscript preparation and submission; all graphics and Tables can be integrated into the manuscript where author wishes to place them

The fax and e-mail number of the corresponding author should be provided as a foot note on the title page. Abstracts should be prepared maximum 200 words for all kind of submissions.

Manuscripts should be compiled in the following order: Title page; Abstract; Keywords; Introduction,Experimental, Results and Discussion, Acknowledgments; Appendixes (as appropriate); References; Table(s) and Figures with caption(s), using a decimal system for subsections. Authors must adhere to SI units. When using a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark authors must use the symbol ® or TM or alternatively a footnote can be inserted using the wording below:

References
References should be cited in the text by Arabic superscripts and should be arranged in the list of references according to the numbers in the end of the main text. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If reference is made to papers submitted or in press, authors are requested to enclose a copy of manuscript or galley proof.
