Instruction for Authors

The submitted manuscript should not contain more than 29% of whole text body.

 

Manuscript preparation

There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The manuscript should be assembled in the following order: title page, abstract, keywords, introduction, experimental part, results and discussion (includinŲŽg conclusions), acknowledgement (optional), references. Figures and Tables should be embedded in the text. Pages should be numbered consecutively from the beginning (title page) to the end. You can download a sample paper and a template file.

Abstract: Every paper must be accompanied by an abstract. A concise and factual abstract consisting of one paragraph is required (about 200 words). The abstract should state briefly the scope, the principal results and major conclusions. Abbreviations and reference citations should be avoided.

 

Keywords: A list of three to five keywords must be given, and placed after the Abstract.

 

Introduction: State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
