Paper Submission Guideline

Title Page

Title page is a separated page before the text. Provide the following information on the title page (in the order given). It should include: 

Title 
Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible. 

Author’s names and affiliations 
Please indicate the given name and family name clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, and the e-mail address of each author. 

Corresponding author 
Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing, publication and also post-publication. Ensure the e-mail.

Sponsoring information 
If the research is sponsored or supported by an organization, please indicate it.

Preparation of text

  • Abstract 

A concise and factual abstract is required (maximum length of 200 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. References should therefore be avoided, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list. 

  • Keywords 

Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. 

Subdivision of the article 

Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1., 2., (then 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering).

  • Figures

Graphs, diagrams, chromatograms, photos, etc. should be prepared as clear, black and white (no color), original positives, suitable for reproduction. All figures should be embedded within the manuscript, and must be captioned and numbered sequentially.

  • Tables and Equations

Tables and equations should not be submitted in a format exceeding the A4 page size (in portrait form). All tables should be embedded within the manuscript, all tables only use horisontal line, and must be captioned and numbered sequentially.

  • Formula

The text size of formula should be similar with normal text size.

  • References

Responsibility for the accuracy of bibliographic citations lies entirely with the authors. 
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Avoid citation in the abstract. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication. 
Citing and listing of web references
As a minimum, the full URL should be given. Any further information, if known (author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list. 

Text
Citations in the text should follow the referencing style used by the American Psychological Association (APA Style). You can refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Sixth Edition.

List
References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication. 
DOIs in References
The journal/publisher encourages authors to cite those items (journal articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, technical reports, working papers, dissertations, etc.) that have DOIs. When the cited items have DOIs, the authors should add DOI persistent links to the regular references.
