When preparing articles for publication, authors are advised to carefully consider and adhere to the guidelines outlined as follows:

Language: Manuscripts should be presented in English, as the journal is distributed internationally.

Original work: By submitting your manuscript, you affirm that it has not been previously published, is not currently under review by any other journal, and has received approval from all co-authors as well as the relevant authorities at the institution where the research was conducted. The publisher disclaims any legal responsibility for compensation claims related to the manuscript.

Format: The manuscripts should be in English and typed with single column and should be typed in Times New Roman 10 pt. The paragraphs continue from here and are only separated by headings, subheadings, images and formulae.

Figures, Tables and Illustrations: Figure should preferably be submitted in colour, as the journal is a full-colour publication. Figures, Tables and Illustrations, complete with captions, should be placed on their positions in the text. Figures and tables should be embedded and not supplied separately. Captions for Tables should appear above the table. All other captions should appear below the illustration (figures, graphs, photos). Tables should be typed in Times New Roman 9 pt font.

Mathematical expressions: Equations should be presented in a clear form which can be easily read by non-mathematicians. Symbols should be typed using the Times New Roman symbol set. Each equation should appear on a separate line and be numbered consecutively.

References: Reference citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets. All references should be numbered consecutively in order of appearance and should be as complete as possible. The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication
(Times New Roman 9 pt font used for References). If available, please always include DOIs as full DOI links in your reference list.
