Writing Rules

These guidelines help authors prepare clear, consistent, and publisher-ready manuscripts:

  1. Templates
    Use the journal’s Microsoft Word template (Templates and Forms) to format your manuscript. Using the template significantly speeds up production and helps avoid formatting errors.

    Each article should include the following sections:

    • Author Information

    • Abstract

    • Keywords (5–6 terms)

    • Introduction

    • Methods / Materials & Methods

    • Results

    • Discussion / Conclusions

    • Funding Information

    • Author Contributions

    • Conflict of Interest statement

    • References (consistent style)

    • Figures & Tables with clear captions

  3. Figures & Tables

    • Place figures/tables after their first citation in the text.

    • Use high-resolution graphics (300 dpi minimum or ≥1000 px wide).

    • Include a caption, numbering, and source or permission statement for any third‑party material.

  4. Language & Style

    • Write in clear, academic English.

    • Follow consistent conventions for units, symbols, abbreviations, and terminology.

    • Equations should be numbered and formatted in math environments, where applicable.

  5. Formatting File Limits
    Combined file size must not exceed ~120 MB. Graphics should be embedded in the main document before submission.
