Essential title of paper

Titles should be concise and informative. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.

Please confirm the following Author information:: Author names and affiliations. Please clearly indicate the given name(s) and family name(s) of each author and check that all names are accurately spelled
: Present the authors' institutional affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names
: Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name and, if available, the affiliation institution e-mail address of each author
: Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. This responsibility includes answering any future queries about Methodology and Materials
: Ensure that the e-mail address is given and that contact details are kept up to date by the corresponding author
: Present/permanent address. If an author has changed affiliation since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present affiliation address' (or 'Permanent affiliation address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes

Abstract

A concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. The abstract should be presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.

Keywords

Immediately, after the abstract, provide a maximum of 5 keywords, using American spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. Keywords will be used for indexing purposes.

Use of word processing

All texts should be saved using Microsoft Word. Most formatting codes will be removed and replaced on processing the article. However, do use bold face, italics, subscripts, superscripts etc. When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, use only one grid for each individual table. The electronic text should be prepared in a way very similar to that of conventional manuscripts. To avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the 'spell-check' and 'grammar-check' functions of your word processor.

Subdivision – numbered sections

Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections

: Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering)
: Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line
: Original figures, tables and photographs should be submitted adequate for immediate reproduction. Figures and tables in the text, along with their respective captions, should be inserted into the text
: Graphics should not be larger than 9x14 cm. Illustrations should not be larger than 12x17 cm. All lettering should appear on the illustration and should be written in Times New Roman

Guidelines for research data

Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international system of units (SI). If other units are mentioned, please give their equivalent in SI.

Submission declaration and verification

Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture or academic thesis). That it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright-holder. To verify originality, all articles will be checked by the originality detection service through a plagiarism software.
