Technical Guidelines

• It must be considered that the author must write the manuscript referring to the specified template.
• Manuscripts should be more than 5000 words but not exceed 7000 words (excluding abstract, references, author/s biodata, and appendix). Each manuscript must have an abstract (between 200-250 words) and 5 keywords. Manuscripts that do not follow this will not be considered for review.
• All manuscripts must be typed in Microsoft Word and single-spaced. Margins are to be set at Normal (2.54cm all round) and paper sized at A4 (21 x 29.7cm).
• The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
• Authors are encouraged to include hypermedia links within their article and ensure these are ready to use.
