All typing should be left justified. Pages, including figures and tables, should be numbered consecutively in the bottom middle with the title page as page 1. The manuscript should contain the following sections (except for review and commentary articles): Title page; Abstract; Introduction; Materials and Methods; Results, Discussion (Results and Discussion could be combined for Qualitative Research designs); Conclusion; Acknowledgement (if any) and References. Figure legends, Tables, and Figures should be typed on separate sheets and placed at the end of the text in this order.
Title page: A separate title page should be submitted with all manuscripts and this page should include:

Every manuscript must be accompanied by an abstract of a maximum of 250 words. Up to five keywords that best summarize the article and are arranged in alphabetical order, separated by semi-column, should be provided to facilitate visibility in all search engines, research databases, and indexes to assist the reader and facilitate information retrieval. This must be stated below the abstract.
Body of text:
All headings should be typed in UPPER-CASE letters and bold while sub-headings should be in lower-case and bold. The main headings should be separated by an empty line and not indentation. The SI unit system must be used. Standard abbreviations may be used without definition, and specialized abbreviations should be used only after they are defined when they first appear. Use capital 'T' for Table and 'F' for Figure. Texts should not be repetitions of the contents of Tables. Mathematical formulae should be carefully typed with equation editor and symbols should be in correct alignment and adequately spaced. Each formula should be displayed on a single line if possible. Statistical evaluation of results should be described briefly and if necessary supported by references.

The year of publication should be in parentheses. References should be listed in alphabetical order, according to the last name of the first author.
