  2. Papers should be kept to a maximum of 20 A4 pages. The  short communication value should not exceed 10 pages.
  3. The number of co-authors should not exceed 5, generally.
  4. Tables should be formatted in the same style as the main text.
  5. Font: Times New Roman 14 pt. Text must be 1.5 spaced. Font size for large tables may be 12 pt. Top margin 2 cm, bottom margin 2 cm, left margin 3 cm, right margin 1.5 cm, page numbers included, paragraph indent 1 cm. No hyphenation at line breaks.
  6. Figures ( in  .tiff, .jpeg formats) should be submitted in separate files. All figures should be black and white or greyscale.
  7. Equations should be formatted in MathType (but not in MS Word Equation Editor). Simple equations, symbols and notations may be formatted without using MathType.
