Submission Guidelines

Instruction for Submission

Manuscripts must be submitted online. The manuscript can be submitted by one of the authors in pdf, word (.doc, .docx, .rtf) or zip file. Latex files should be submitted to the editor of the journal after the acceptance of Manuscript. There is no page limit but the recommended limit is 10 pages.

Submission Policy

The submitting author takes the responsibility that the submitted manuscript is not under review or process in any other conference or journal for publication. The submitting author also ensures by submission that the Manuscript has been submitted with the permission of the co-authors as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out.

Peer Review

All the submitted manuscripts are initially overviewed by the Editor of the journal and then forwarded for peer-review to two reviewers. If the quality of the paper is not expected to meet the standards of the journal it is rejected in the initial phase and not forwarded for review. If there is a conflict in the reviewer's decision, the manuscript is forwarded to a third reviewer for final decision.

Confidentiality

The Editor and editorial staff will not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Article Processing Charges

Introduction

This section should be succinct, with no subheadings.

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.

Conclusions

This should clearly explain the main conclusions of the work highlighting its importance and relevance.

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

Authors are responsible for ensuring that the information in each reference is complete and accurate. All references must be numbered consecutively and citations of references in text should be identified using numbers in square brackets (e.g., “as discussed by Smith [9]”; “as discussed elsewhere [9, 10]”). All references should be cited within the text; otherwise, these references will be automatically removed.

Preparation of Figures

Upon submission of an article, authors are supposed to include all figures and tables in the PDF file of the manuscript. Figures and tables should not be submitted in separate files. If the article is accepted, authors will be asked to provide the source files of the figures. Each figure should be supplied in a separate electronic file. All figures should be cited in the paper in a consecutive order. Figures should be supplied in either vector art formats (Illustrator, EPS, WMF, FreeHand, CorelDraw, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.) or bitmap formats (Photoshop, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, etc.). Bitmap images should be of 300 dpi resolution at least unless the resolution is intentionally set to a lower level for scientific reasons. If a bitmap image has labels, the image and labels should be embedded in separate layers.

Preparation of Tables

Tables should be cited consecutively in the text. Every table must have a descriptive title and if numerical measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading. Vertical rules should not be used.

Proofs

Corrected proofs must be returned to the publisher within 2-3 days of receipt. The publisher will do everything possible to ensure prompt publication. It will therefore be appreciated if the manuscripts and figures conform from the outset to the style of the journal.

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section on the title page. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.
