A minimum resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch) is required. Graphics may be full colour but please make sure that they are appropriate for print (black and white) and online (colour) publication. Figure captions must be below the figure, in 10 pt font and should ideally consist of one sentence.  If a figure has sub-figures, all sub-figures should also have a caption and should be identified by letters, e.g. a, b, c. 

 

Plagiarism

1) The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used a work, this work should be appropriately cited or quoted. Plagiarism takes many forms, from passing off other authors’ paper as the author’s own paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of other authors’ paper without attribution, to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. 

2) Before submission, please check the similarity of prepared manuscript with the literature by iThenticate or Turnitin plagiarism checker software to prevent plagiarism. The similarity of submitted manuscript should be less than 20%.
