3. Ethics
An author should neither submit a previously published paper, nor
a paper describing essentially the same research published
elsewhere. Simultaneously submitting the same manuscript to
more than one journal constitutes unethical publishing behavior
and is unacceptable. Every author listed on a paper must affirm
that (s)he has read and approved the manuscript, thereby affirming
thework'soriginality.
Conflictofinterestanddisclosure
All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or
other substantive conflict of interest that might influence the results
or interpretation of their manuscript. Examples of potential
conflicts of interest that should be disclosed are as follows:
employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid
expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or
other funding. All sources of financial support for the project
should be disclosed. The letter of transmission should include an
explanation of any real or perceived conflicts of interest that may
arise during the peer review process. Failure to disclose such
conflictsmayleadtotherejectionofasubmittedmanuscript.
Themanuscript
Each manuscript should include the following: title, author byline
and affiliations, abstract, subject headings, text, conclusion, and
references. Tables, figures, mathematics, and supplemental data
are optional. The manuscript should be typewritten using MS
Word on ISO A4 paper with 2.5 cm margins. Type should appear
ononlyonesideofthepageandpagesshouldbenumbered.
Length of an article is limited to 10,000 words or word
equivalents, including tables and figures. (A typical page has 250
words.)
Spelling should be in agreement with the Webster’s Third New
International Dictionary or the Oxford English Dictionary.
Authorsareresponsibleforspellingconsistency.
Abbreviations, nomenclature, and symbols for units of
measurement should conform to international recommendations.
SI units (Syst me International d’Unit s) should be used or SI
equivalents given. Some exceptions to SI units are allowed due
to practical reasons.
Acronyms shouldbedefinedwhenfirstmentionedinthetext.
Abstract - A concise and factual abstract of 150 to 175 words is
required. The abstract should briefly state the purpose of the
research, principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is
often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to
stand alone. Authors are encouraged to submit abstracts in clear
English. References should not be cited in the abstract. Up to ten
keywords can be included and should be placed directly below the
abstract.
Footnotes should be used sparingly. Their use in tables, however,
is encouraged. Number them consecutively throughout the article,
using superscript Arabic numbers. Each footnote should be typed
on the page of its reference. Footnotes should not be included in
thelistofreferences.
Equations should be clearly typed; triple-spacing should be used
whenever superscripts and/or subscripts are involved. Superscripts
and subscripts should be legible and carefully placed. There
should be a clear distinction between the lowercase letter L (l) and
the numeral one (1), and between the capital letter o (O) and the
numeral zero (0). A letter or symbol should represent only one
entity and be used consistently throughout the paper. Every
variable must be defined in the text, or in a List of Symbols to
appear after the reference list. Variables representing vectors,
matrices, vector matrices, and tensors must be clearly identified.
Numbers identifying equations must be in square brackets and
flushed left. In numbering, there is no distinction between
mathematicalandchemicalequations.
Acknowledgments should be written in the third person and
concisely recognize relevant contributions. Acknowledgments
should be written in a separate section at the end of the article,
before the references. Individuals who provided help during the
research (e.g.,language help, writing assistance or proof-reading)
shouldbelistedhere.
References and their verification against the original article is the
author’s responsibility. Every reference must be cited in the text
using the surnames of the authors and the year, for example: (Kim
1998) or Barrie and Paulson (2010). Depending on the sentence
construction, the names may or may not be inside the parentheses,
but the year always should be. If there are three or more authors,
the citation should give the name of the first author followed by “et
al.” (e.g., Barrie et al. 2010). For text citation and the reference list,
If any references are not uniquely identified by the names of
authors and year, use a, b, c, etc., after the year, for example: Barrie
1983a,1983b;or,BarrieandPaulson2010a,2010b.
The reference list must be typed double-spaced and placed at the
end of the text. References must be listed alphabetically based on
the name of the first author and should not be numbered.
References with the same first author are listed in the following
POLICIES
4. order: (i) Papers with only one author are listed first in
chronological order, beginning with the earliest paper. (ii) Papers
with dual authorship follow and are listed alphabetically based on
the last name of the second author and (iii) Papers with three or
more authors appear after the dual-authored papers and are
arrangedchronologically.
Names of periodicals should be written out in full. References to
unpublished reports and to private communications should be
stated in parentheses in the text or as footnotes. For private
communication, the author’s initials and year of interaction should
be given. References should follow the form used in current issues
oftheJournal,asinthefollowingexamples:

Tables must be typed on separate pages after the list of references,
and numbered consecutively in the order in which they are cited in
the text. A table’s title should concisely describe the its content.
Column headings should be brief, but may be supported by
footnotes. Vertical rules should not be used. For guidance on how
tables are set up, a copy of the journal should be consulted.
Footnotes in tables should be designated by symbols (in the order
*, , , ll, , #) or superscript lower-case italicized letters.
Descriptive material not designated by a footnote may be placed
under a table as a Note. Be sparing in the use of tables, and ensure
that the data presented therein do not duplicate results described
elsewhereinthearticle.
Figure captions should be double-spaced, listed on a separate page,
andplacedafterthetablesanddirectlybeforethefigure.
Figures and tables used in the appendix should be numbered
sequentially but separately from those used in the main body of the
paper,forexample:Fig.A1,TableA1,etc.
Computer programs - It is not the policy of the Journal to publish
detailed printouts of computer program statements. If the
availability of these details enhances the paper’s usefulness, the
author should submit two copies of the program (see
Supplementarymaterial).
Supplementary material - The Journal maintains a depository for
supplementary materials, either at the request of the author or upon
the Editor’s suggestion. Such material may include extensive
tables of data, detailed calculations, and maps not essential in
understanding and evaluating the paper. Such material must be
clearly marked upon the manuscript’s submission. Tables and
figures should be numbered consecutively and separately from
those published with the paper (e.g., Fig. S1, Table S1). The
supplementarymaterialshouldbereferredtobyfootnotes.
Preparationofelectronicillustrationfiles
For optimal printing, authors must use high-resolution (at least 300
dpi) electronic graphic files for figures, plots, drawings, and
photos. If output problems arise during the printing process,
authorsmaybeaskedtosendtheiroriginalimagefiles.
