appropriate); table(s) with caption(s) (on individual pages); figure caption(s) (as a list).
Manuscript should be prepared using Microsoft (MS) Word and be typed in 12-point font size

TitleThis should contain the title of an article, full names of authors and institutional
affiliation(s). If several authors, and institutions are listed, they should be clearly indicated
with which department and institution each author is affiliated. Also, address for
correspondence, including the name of corresponding author, degree, address (institutional
affiliation, city, zip-code and country telephone and fax numbers, and email address) should
be given. The title should not exceed 20 words and two lines.

IntroductionThe main purpose of the study and results achieved in the study should be
described in a brief and concise style. Authors should include background information that is
related to the purpose but omit irrelevant information in the text.
Literature ReviewsThe purpose of the literature review is to analyze critically a segment of a
published body of knowledge through summary, classification, and comparison of prior
research studies, reviews of literature, and theoretical articles.
MethodsThe description must be detailed to allow the replication. Procedures that have been
published previously should not be described in detail. However, new or significant
modifications of previously published procedures need full descriptions. Method of statistical
analyses and criteria of significance level should be described.
ResultsThis part should be presented logically using text, table and illustrations. Excessive
repetition of table or figure contents should be avoided. At the end of results, emphasize or
summarize only important observations.
DiscussionsThe data should be interpreted concisely without repeating material already

hypotheses advanced in the introduction. This may include an evaluation of the methodology
and of the relationship of new information to the knowledge in that field.

unless the resolution is intentionally set to a lower level for scientific reasons. If a bitmap
image has labels, the image and labels should be embedded in separate layers. Tables should

measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading. Vertical rules
should not be used. These should clarify or supplement the manuscript text, not duplicate the

number tables and figures; that is, label them as Table 5, Table 6, and Table 7 or Figure 5,
Figure 6, and Figure 7 instead of 5, 5a, and 5b.
