Manuscript format

Spacing: All portions of the manuscript must be typed double-spaced and all pages numbered, starting from the title page.
Abstract: Informative and completely self-explanatory, 100 to 250 words, written in the past tense using complete sentences, active verbs, and the third person. No literature should be cited in the abstract.
Keywords: About 5 to 10 keywords that will provide indexing references, listed after the abstract.
Referencing: APA Style, 7th edition, listed at the end of the paper in alphabetical order.
Units and abbreviations: Only recommended SI units should be used. Non-standard abbreviations should be used sparingly, spelled out and introduced in parentheses at first use, and listed in a list of abbreviations.

Title page

The title should be a brief phrase describing the contents of the paper. The title page should include the authors' full names and affiliations, and the name of the corresponding author along with phone and email information. Present addresses of authors should appear as a footnote.

Structure

The Introduction should provide a clear statement of the problem, the relevant literature, and the proposed approach or solution, understandable to colleagues from a broad range of disciplines. Materials and methods should be complete enough to allow the work to be reproduced. Results should be presented with clarity and precision in the past tense; interpretation belongs in the Discussion, which should state conclusions in a few sentences at the end of the paper. Acknowledgments of people, grants, and funds should be brief.

Tables and figures

Tables should be kept to a minimum, typed double-spaced, numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals, and be self-explanatory without reference to the text. Graphics should be prepared at high resolution (GIF, TIFF, JPEG, or PowerPoint) before pasting into the manuscript file, with figure legends typed in numerical order.

Originality screening

Every submission is screened for originality before review. Submissions with unacceptable similarity to prior published work will be returned to the author without review. Authors are responsible for ensuring their manuscript is original and that all sources are properly cited.

The preferred submission route is the online submission portal, which guides authors through manuscript upload, co-author details, declarations, and payment of the article processing charge. Queries may be sent to mjhimir@gmail.com.
