  • Main document (without author details): The main body of the paper (including the references, figures, tables, and any acknowledgments) should not include any identifying information, such as the authors' names or affiliations.

 

The detail of the main document is briefly guided per followings:

  1. Set default tab stops at 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) left for each paragraph throughout the entire document.
  2. Use letter size (8.5 x 11 inches, no A4 size), employ single line spacing, and justify alignment.
  3. Configure the document in two columns, portrait orientation, with top and bottom margins set at 1-inch, left margin at 0.8 inches, and right margin at 0.75 inches.
  4. A manuscript title must be up to 12 words with Times New Roman, 16 pt, bold
  5. For headings and subheadings, use Times New Roman, bold, and a font size of 12. The main text should be in Times New Roman, with a font size of 10, and tables should use Times New Roman at a font size of 8.
  6. No footnotes; however, endnotes are acceptable.
  7. The abstract should be within the range of 197 to 203 words.
