Content
- Language
Manuscripts should be written in English. For authors not fluent in English, we recommend having the manuscript carefully read by an English-speaking colleague or a professional editing service before publication. - Title
Manuscripts must be submitted with a full title which appears at the top of the article. The title should reflect the contents of the paper and be specific, descriptive, concise, and comprehensible to readers outside the subject field (please avoid abbreviations and a title written in capital letters). - Authors and Affiliations
The authors should specify in the article their first and last names and relevant addresses (department, university/ organization, city, state/province and country). The list of co-authors should remain unchanged after a final decision is made by the Editors.
At least one author of the article must register and present the paper at the conference. Failure to do so will result in withdrawal of the manuscript from publication consideration. To avoid serial publications pratices, it is recommended to publish a maximum of two articles per author in this publication (regardless of his/her position in the list). Author names that appear in more than two (2) articles will be removed by the editors. The editors also reserve the right to reject any additional submissions that exceed this limit. - Abstract
The abstract should describe the main objective(s) of the study. It should be informative and report the main results and conclusions. - Introduction
The introduction should provide background that puts the manuscript into context and allows readers outside the field to understand the purpose and significance of the study. It should define the problem addressed and explain why it is important. - Figures
Authors who reproduce a figure or a table from another publication should clearly indicate the origin of the article and should also obtain the permission for reproduction from the author(s) and publisher concerned. Each figure and table should be cited in the text. Each figure and table should have a caption. The number of figures is not limited. However, it is important to make sure that all figures are necessary, not redundant, and well designed. - References
Authors should check the references to ensure they are correct. References should be listed at the end of the manuscript. Comments and notes are usually not allowed in the references; they should be placed as footnotes. - Plagiarism
Do run through plagiarism detecting applications such as TurnitIn to ensure the similarity percentage is lower than 20%. - Ethical Approval
All studies involving human or animal subjects must include an ethical approval statement, along with the corresponding approval or registration number. - Proofreading Requirement
Once accepted, authors must engage an English proofreader, as this is mandatory to ensure the manuscript is free from grammatical errors. A proofreading certificate must be provided as evidence.
Policies For Publication of Errata and For Article Retraction
