Meanwhile, the author's name (without an academic degree) and the author's affiliation address must be written in the same format below the title. The author must provide two spaces between the title and the author's name as well as between the author's email and the abstract title. Keywords must be written below the abstract for 3 - 6 words and each of them is separated by semicolons (;). If there is more than one author, they must be written separately with a comma (,).

The author as well as a correspondence must be written first and then followed by the second author, third author, and so on. The information regarding revised articles and final statements will be informed via email to the first author only.
