  10. Plagiarism: The industry standard software iThenticate is used to verify all submissions for plagiarism. The paper may be rejected if plagiarism is discovered during the peer review process. If plagiarism is identified after publication, we will conduct an inquiry and take appropriate action according to our policy.

Abstract: All articles must have an abstract not to exceed 250 words. Avoid using abbreviations, diagrams, and references in the abstract.

Key Words: All articles should have a list of key (indexing) terms. Three to five keywords or terms not in the title will assist indexers in cross-indexing your article.

Body:

Group all tables, figures, figure captions, and footnotes at the end of the article, following the references. Equations should be numbered sequentially. Use no more than four levels of headings. Number headings sequentially using numerals, as follows: level 1 headings - 1., 2., 3., etc.; level 2 headings - 1.1, 2.1, etc.; level 3 headings - 1.1.1, 2.1.1, etc.; and level 4 headings - 1.1.1.1, 2.1.1.1. For articles containing more than a few symbols, include a nomenclature list in alphabetical order, with Greek symbols (also in alphabetical order and with a separate heading) following the alphabetical listing in English. The nomenclature section should be placed after keywords and before the introduction. All articles must use SI units throughout; English units may be included parenthetically. Equations should not be provided as pictures; use programs such as MathType, Microsoft Equation, etc.

Figures:

Figures should not exceed the size of the journal pages. Use only Arial and Symbol fonts for text within figures. Acceptable formats for figures are TIFF, JPEG, EPS, or similar program files saved from the original application at 300-700 dpi. Because of the loss of resolution, we do not accept figures embedded in Word or PDF. The preferred format is TIFF; however, maintaining a clear quality of the figures is most important. Do not use gray rules, only black. If the text is printed over gray backgrounds for any reason, the gray must be at least 50% lighter than the text. If possible, avoid grayscales entirely. For best results, figures must be submitted at the highest possible quality.

Tables:

 Tables cannot be embedded in the text or provided as a picture. Provide tables at the end of the article and be sure to call out the tables in numerical order in the text. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below the table. All units must be included.

Footnotes: Footnotes should be identified in the text with symbols such as * † ‡ § ∥ ¶, and cited consecutively within the paper. If you have many footnotes you can double the suggested symbols.

Please Carefully Follow the Reference Formatting: Incorrectly formatted reference lists or reference callouts in the text will be returned to the author to correct before processing for publication.
