Author Guidelines

How to Write the Title, Author’s Name, and Address?
The title should be written at the top of the first page, centred. The author's name (without academic titles) and the author's affiliation should be written below the title, in the same format. Leave one space between the title and the author's name, as well as between the author's email and the abstract title. Keywords should be listed below the abstract, with 3 to 6 words, each separated by a semicolon (;). If there are multiple authors, their names should be separated by commas (,).
The corresponding author must be listed first, followed by the second author, third author, and so on. Information regarding article revisions and final decisions will be communicated via email to the corresponding author only.
