Submission of an article can ONLY be made via electronic procedure following the attached Template format.

Submission should be accompanied by an Author Declaration Form confirming that the manuscript has not been published in part or in full elsewhere, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. It is recommended the suggestion of up to four referees (names, affiliations, emails) related to the content of their paper. Suggested reviewers should NOT be at the same institution, and should have some expertise in your content area/method. Authors should NOT have substantially worked with the reviewer in the past few years, and in particular, this should not be someone who has already reviewed or otherwise contributed to the manuscript. To the best of your knowledge, reviewers should not have conflicts (financial, personal) which would interfere with their objectivity.

Manuscript Format: 

All manuscripts should be carefully edited to eliminate redundancy. All abbreviated terms should be explained on first occurrence.

Manuscripts should begin with an Abstract of up to 250 words that contains concise factual information on objectives, Materials and Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Opinions, vague terms, and jargon should be avoided.

Keywords should follow (maximum 8 Keywords). Avoid words that are mentioned in the title.

The body of the text should include Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion sections, followed by Acknowledgements (if necessary) and References.

References:

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

A list of the cited references in alphabetical order started by the surname of the first author must be included at the end of the manuscript, and each reference includes the names of all contributing authors.

In the text refer to the author name without initials and the year of publication (e.g. Higham et al., 2014; Liritzis and Kosmatos, 1995; Millard, 2001). If the same author(s) is cited in more than one publication in the same year, lower case letter (a, b, c...) are appended to the year in the first and succeeding citations.

For three or more authors use the first author followed by ' et al .', in the text. Footnotes at the end of each page and/or at the reference list are not allowed, but only at the end of paper before References.

References should be in English, French, German and Spanish or translated from any other language into English.

References should be given as in the following examples, for books, articles in journals, papers in contributed volume or proceedings of conferences and reports:

Tables, Photos and Figures:

Tabular or graphical data should be adequately discussed in the text. In particular, similar data should not be presented in both figures and tables.

Tables should be concise and contain only the information essential to the text. Columns containing few entries or full columns of data that vary only slightly should be avoided. Judicious use of table footnotes can greatly simplify the presentation.

Graphs should be used to support correlations or illustrate points made in the text, not merely to present data. Legends identifying curves should be contained within the graphs, not in the captions. Graphs and line drawings should be drawn carefully and must be large enough for clarity. All graphs and figures should be of sufficient quality (at least 300dpi). Photographs should be limited to those essential to an adequate understanding of the text and should be of high resolution coloured or black-and-white.

Figures, photos and tables should be incorporated into the main body of the text of the Template.

1. Units: All data in the text, figures and tables must be reported in metric notation and International System of Units (SI) nomenclature. Conversion of any non-metric data will be requested from the author before publication. Use negative indices rather than / and leave space between symbols, e.g. ms-1 not ms-1 or m/s. English units may follow the metric quantities in parentheses.

2. Equations: Equations and formulas should be numbered separately and sequentially throughout the text. All variables and special symbols, such as Greek letters, must be clearly identified and explained, including units when appropriate.

3. Nomenclature: When naming an article, choose the title that best fits the topic.

4. Page Proofs: will be sent to the corresponding for checking. Corrections to the proofs must be restricted to printer's errors. Any substantial alterations other than these may be charged to the author. Authors are particularly requested to return their corrected proofs as quickly as possible in order to facilitate rapid publication. Please note that authors are urged to check their proofs carefully before return. Re-prints and copies of the issue (at a specially reduced rate) can be ordered. The corresponding author will receive a free PDF file of his/her paper.
