Guidelines for manuscript preparation

1. Font size should be 12 times new roman including the title page except for the table numbers which can be smaller to fit the page. Country, email address/es, contact numbers of the authors.

2. The paragraphs for the entire manuscript is typed using single spacing(including title page, references, and author bio profile). There should be no spaces in between paragraphs. A space is only placed in between headings.

3. The left and right margins are 1.5 inches. Top and down margins are 1.5 inches.

4. Provide 2 or more keywords below the abstract.

5. Using footnotes: reconstruct the footnotes as end notes found at the end of the manuscript.

6. Tables and figures are interjected in the text where they are supposed to be found. Tables and figures should fit in a portrait format (not landscape).

7. Tables and figures should fit one page of manuscript in portrait format (not landscape) if the tables and figures are long, place them in the appendix. If the text is enough to illustrate the results, no need to report tables and figures.

8. Provide one paragraph (3 to 4 sentences) bio profile for each author placed at the end of manuscript. Indicate the institutional affiliation, country, and email address.

9. Submit the manuscript as a single word file. Do not separate the manuscript into several files. Articles are accepted in manuscript word format only.

Publication Criteria

1. English quality: the language in submitted articles must be clear, correct, and unambiguous.

2. If a submitted study replicates or is very similar to previous work, authors must provide a sound scientific rationale for the submitted work and clearly reference and discuss the existing literature.

3. It is compulsory for the authors to ensure that no material submitted as part of a manuscript infringes existing copyrights, or the rights of a third party.
