  • Checked Title (List of authors, their affiliations and email addresses)

  • Checked Abstract

  • Checked Introduction

  • Checked Main body

  • Checked Results and discussion

  • Checked Conclusions

  • Checked Acknowledgments (optional)

  • Checked References



Title: Make sure that the title is specific and concise. Titles should be presented in title case - all words except the first word should be in lower case letters.

List of authors, their affiliations and email addresses: Provide the full names and affiliations of all the authors. Affiliations should include department, university or organization, city, and country. One of the authors should be designated as the corresponding author, and their email address needs to be included.

Abstract: The abstract should briefly introduce the manuscript, not exceeding 400 words. No citations should be included in the abstract.

Keywords: At least 3 keywords or phrases should be included and must be separated by commas to distinguish them.

Introduction: The introduction section should provide a context for your manuscript. When preparing the introduction, please bear in mind that some readers will not be experts in your field of research.

Main body: the main body part should include the main proposed ideas, results and discussions.

Conclusions: A conclusion is where you summarize the paper's findings and generalize their importance, discuss ambiguous data, and recommend further research. An effective conclusion should provide closure for a paper, leaving the reader feeling satisfied that the concepts have been fully explained.

Acknowledgments: You as the author are free to decide whether to include acknowledgments or not. Usually, the acknowledgments section includes the names of people who in some way contributed to the work, but do not fit the criteria to be listed as the authors. This section of your manuscript can also include information about funding sources.

References: Science Publishing Group uses the numbered citation method for reference formatting, with sequential numbering in the text, and respective ordering in a list at the end of the paper. The list should contain at least ten references and should be arranged in the order of citation in text. List only one reference per reference number. In the text, each reference number should be enclosed by square brackets. Citations of references may be given simply as "in [1] ...", or as "in reference [1] ...". Similarly, it is not necessary to mention the authors of a reference, unless the mention is relevant to the text. Multiple citations within a single set of brackets should be separated by commas. Where there are three or more sequential citations, they should be given as a range [2, 7-9, 13].

1) Everyone who is listed as an author should have made a substantial direct academic contribution (i.e. intellectual responsibility and substantive work) to at least two of the four main components of a typical scientific project or paper:


a) Conception or design.
b) Data collection and processing.
c) Analysis and interpretation of the data.
d) Writing substantial sections of the paper (e.g. synthesizing findings in the literature review or the findings/results section).


2) Everyone who is listed as an author should have critically reviewed successive drafts of the paper and should approve the final version.


3) Everyone who is listed as an author should be able to defend the paper as a whole (although not necessarily all the technical details).




Order of Authors

Please write your text in good English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these). If you would like to choose an English Language Editing services, we recommend "Editage" and "Elsevier Author Services".


1) The person who has made the major contribution to the paper and/or taken the lead in writing is entitled to be the first author.


2) Decisions about who should be an author, the order of authors and those included in the acknowledgments should usually be made by the first author in consultation with other authors.


3) Those who have made a major contribution to analysis or writing (i.e. more than commenting in detail on successive drafts) are entitled to follow the first author immediately; where there is a clear difference in the size of these contributions, this should be reflected in the order of these authors.

5) If all the authors feel that they have contributed equally to the paper, this can be indicated in a footnote.
