Guidelines for Manuscript Writing

The title should describe the summary of the research (concise, informative, no abbreviation, and maximum 12 words).

Authorship of articles should be limited to those who have contributed sufficiently to take public responsibility for the contents. Full names of authors (without academic title); author's affiliation [name(s) of department(s) and institution(s)]; corresponding author's name, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. Corresponding author is the person responsible for correspondence during the publication process  and post publication.

1. ABSTRACT

   Abstracts should be less than 250 words, and should not include references or abbreviations. They should be concise and precise with enough information, highlighting the points and importance of the article. In general they should include the following:

   • Introduction: One or two sentences of background and purpose of study.
   • Method: describe the research design, settings (please do not mention the actual location, but use geographic type or number if necessary); Participants (details of how selected, inclusion and exclusion criteria, numbers entering and leaving the study, relevant clinical and demographic characteristics).
   • Results: report main outcome(s) /findings including (where relevant) levels of statistical significance and confidence intervals.
   • Conclusions: should relate to study aims and hypotheses.
   • Keyword: Provide between three and five key words in alphabetical order, which accurately identify the paper's subject, purpose, method and focus.

   TEXT

   The text should be structured as introduction, methods, results, discussion and conclusion. Footnotes are not advisable; their contents should rather be incorporated into the text. Use only standard abbreviations; use of nonstandard abbreviations can be confusing to readers. Avoid abbreviations in the title of the manuscript. The spelled-out abbreviation followed by the abbreviation in parenthesis should be used on first mention unless the abbreviation is a standard unit of measurement. If a sentence begins with a number, it should be spelled out.

   ACKNOWLEDGMENT (OPTIONAL)

   Acknowledgments should be limited to appropriate professionals who contributed to the paper, including technical help and financial or material support, also general support by a department chair-person.

   TABLES AND FIGURES

   Tables should be numbered in arabic numerals, captions should be brief, clearly indicating the purpose or content of each table. If your manuscript includes more than 5 tables in total, or for very large tables, these can be submitted as Supplementary Data and will be included as such in the online version of your article.

2. The Writing Format is arranged based on the template.
