Generally, manuscripts should not exceed 8,000 words, the maximum word length being 10,000 can be accepted after consultation with Editor-in-Chief. The length of a paper should be commensurate with the scientific information being reported. In particular, the introductory material should be limited to a few paragraphs and results presented in figures should not be repeated in tables.
2. Short Communication: A brief communication of urgent matter or the reporting of preliminary findings to be given expedited publication. Maximum 4000 worlds excluding references and abstract and up to 10 references.

Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, methodology, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. No more than 250 words.
Keywords
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 5 keywords, general and plural terms should be avoided.
Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Material and methods
Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described.
Results and Discussion
Results should be clear and concise. Discussion should explore the significance of the research work while extensive citations and discussion of published literature should be avoided. A separate Results and Discussion is often appropriate.
Conclusions
The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.

Note: References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically. One reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters 'a', 'b', 'c', etc., placed after the year of publication. Scientific names should be written in italic.

Additional notes:
Subdivision - numbered sections
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.(then 1.1., 1.2., ...), 2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering).
Figure captions
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.
Tables
Number tables consecutively with Arabic numerals in accordance with their appearance in the text. Avoid vertical rules. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Tables should never be included within the text, because file(s) containing tables are attached separately in the electronic submission system.
