The DOI number of the articles or books, when applicable, should be included in the list of references.

e.g: Surname, Name: Title of the Article, Journal, volume, year, DOI: xxxx; http://dx.doi.org/xxxx

  • References to the bibliography should be made inside the text itself, between brackets, citing the author’s surname, followed by the year and edition and, when applicable, a colon followed by the page number(s) mentioned. The bibliographical references must be mentioned in the text.
  • When quotations are no longer than two lines, they must appear in the text itself in quotation marks. When they are longer than two lines, they must appear without quotation marks in a separate, indented paragraph.
  • Because the texts must be handled with layout programs before they are sent to press, it is preferable for format codes to be kept to a minimum. For the same reason, any notes must be presented as end notes and not as footnotes.
  • Because the journal is not published in colour, authors should take special care and have special regard for this when including tables and graphs.

Any article not meeting these format, presentation, and content requirements should be returned to the author.
