Author Guidelines

The length of the paper should be up to 8 A4 pages, typically containing around 6,000 words, including tables. Authors are required to use Microsoft Word with Arial Narrow 12 pt font, single spacing, block alignment, and all margins set to 2.50 cm, with no page numbers. Paragraphs should be aligned in block format without indentation of the 1st line, and there should be a 6pt space before each paragraph. Text can be shifted using tabs. Citations should be given in the text following the APA format.

Tables and figures should be placed directly in the text and numbered with titles. They should be left justified, with a font size of 10 pt and bold formatting. Below each right-aligned table or figure, the source from which the author derived the information must be indicated.

Mathematical relationships should be expressed using the Equation Editor. Formulas should be identified by a number in round brackets, using Arial Narrow 12 pt font and right-justified next to the formula.

If the paper reports the results of a specific project, the project code, title, and the name of the funder (in italics) may be provided at the end of the paper. The following information must be included in the paper: full name(s) of the author(s), the name of the organization and its address, and the author(s)' e-mail address. Only one corresponding author is required, and the journal needs no biographical information.
