Abstract

The abstract should briefly state the problem or purpose of the research, indicate the methodology used, summarize the principal findings and major conclusions. This should be no more than 150 words, font type of times new roman and font size of 9 pt. All symbols used should be clearly defined and references are not cited here. The name of headings in this template can be modified if necessary, except the Introduction.

Introduction

This section should be concise, with no subheadings. It should provide the background of the research and state the purpose of the research. The authors allow readers outside of the field to understand the purpose of the study. The introduction should include appropriate citations of previous and relevant works. This should be no more than 650 words, font type of times new roman and font size of 9 pt.

Materials and Methods

This part should contain sufficient detail so that all procedures can be repeated. It can be divided into subsections if several methods are described.

Results and Discussion

This section may each be divided by subheadings or may be combined. Although not everything need be disclosed in this section, a good paper must contain new, useable, and fully described information. Authors should expect to be challenged by reviewers if the results are not supported by adequate data and critical details.

Preparation of Figures

Upon submission of an article, Authors are required to ensure that all figures are in good quality and acceptable resolution. Figures must be embedded into the text and not supplied separately. Figures should be as close as possible to the first reference to them in the paper. All figures should be cited in the paper in a consecutive order and should be numbered with Arabic numerals (1,2,...n). The figure number and caption should be typed below the illustration in 9pt and centered. Figures could fit in 8.5 cm (1 column) or 17.5 cm (2 columns).

Preparation of Tables

All tables should be numbered with Arabic numerals. Headings should be placed above tables, centered. Only horizontal lines should be used within a table, to distinguish the column headings from the body of the table, and immediately above and below the table. Tables must be embedded into the text and not supplied separately. The table number and caption should be typed above the table in 9pt [FF2] and centered. Tables could fit in 8.5 cm (1 column) or 17.5 cm (2 columns). Below is an example which may be useful

Conclusions

This should clearly explain the main conclusions of the work highlighting its importance and relevance, do not replicate the abstract as the conclusion. A conclusion might elaborate on the importance of the work or suggest applications and extensions.

Acknowledgments

All acknowledgments (if any) should be included at the very end of the paper before the references and may include supporting grants, presentations, and so forth.

References

All references should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are mentioned in the text. Indicate references by numbers in the text. In the text the number of the reference should be given in square brackets [1] or [1,2]. A complete list of those references should appear at the end of the manuscript. For a reference with more than 6 authors, the first 6 should be listed followed by "et al.". Below are some examples.
