 Authors Name and Affiliations

Write the Author(s) names without title and professional positions such as Prof, Dr, Production Manager, etc. Do not shorten your last/family name. Always give your First and Last names (Full Name). Write clear affiliation of all Authors. Affiliation includes name of department/unit, (faculty), name of university, address, country, including email address.

Abstract

All manuscripts should not exceed 150 words and should describe the scope, hypothesis or rationale for the work and the main findings. Complete sentences, active verbs, and the abstract should be written in the past tense. Standard nomenclature should be used and abbreviations should be avoided.

Keywords

Key words (3-5 words) should be provided below the Abstract to assist with indexing of the article. These should not duplicate key words from the title.

Introduction
In Introduction, Authors should state the objectives of the work at the end of introduction section. Before the objective, Authors should provide an acceptable background, and very short literature survey in order to record the existing solutions/method, to show which is the best of previous researches, to show the main limitation of the previous researches, to show what do you hope to achieve, and to show the scientific merit or novelties of the paper. Avoid a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. The introduction should clearly state the purpose of the paper.

 Materials and Methods

This should be complete enough to provide enough detail to allow the work to be repeated by others. However, only truly new procedures should be described in detail; previously published procedures should be cited, and important amendments of published procedures should be mentioned briefly. Capitalize trade names and include the manufacturer’s name and address. Subheadings should be used. Methods in general use need not be described in detail.

 Content /Result and Discussion
Content is the body of paper, consists of subtitle that representing the dialogue of the paper. Results should be clear and terse. The results should summarize (scientific) findings rather than providing data in great detail. The discussion should explore the consequence of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often apposite. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.

In discussion, it is the most significant section of your article. Here you get the chance to sell your data. Make the discussion corresponding to the results, but do not reiterate the results. Often should begin with a brief summary of the main scientific findings (not experimental results). The following components should be covered in the discussion: How do your results relate to the inventive question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what)? Do you provide interpretation systematically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results reliable with what other investigators have reported (what else)?
 Conclusion
Conclusions should answer the objectives of the research. Without clear Conclusions, reviewers and readers will find it problematic to judge the work, and whether or not it merits publication in the journal. If an optional conclusion section is used, its content should not substantially duplicate the abstract.
 Acknowledgment

The acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc should be brief.
