The manuscript should be written in the following format:
A Title, which adequately describes the content of the manuscript.
An Abstract should not exceed 250 words. The Abstract should state the principal objectives and the scope of the research, as well as the methodology employed. It should summarize the results and state the principal conclusions.
Not more than 10 significant key words should follow the abstract to aid indexing.
Introduction. This part should include the objectives of the work and its background. It should be based on the literature review. In the literature review you should show the competence in your area and its main authors and works. The recommended quantity of references is 15-25. The cited papers should be relatively recent (not older than 15 years).
A Theory or experimental methods used.
An Experimental section, which should provide details of the experimental setup and the methods used for obtaining the results
A Results section, which should clearly and concisely present the data using figures and tables where appropriate.
A Discussion section, which should describe the relationships and generalizations shown by the results and discuss the significance of the results making comparisons with previously published work. (It may be appropriate to combine the Results and Discussion sections into a single section to improve the clarity).
Conclusions, which should present one or more conclusions that have been drawn from the results and subsequent discussion and do not duplicate the Abstract.
Acknowledgements. The personal acknowledgements and also the information about funding is given here.
