  • All submissions must be in English and submitted electronically (in Microsoft Word format).

  • The article should be written in Times New Roman font.

  • Title and author should be centered. Subheadings flush left in size 12.

  • The main text should be written in size 12.

  • Either footnotes or endnotes are acceptable. Please use one style consistently throughout the manuscript. Citations should appear in the notes rather than parenthetically within the text.
