Paper should be organized in the following order

• Title Page, (Blinded)

• Title Page, (Unblinded)

• Abstract (between 100-250 words)

• Keywords (4-6 keywords which can be used for indexing purposes)

• Main Text

• Acknowledgements, if applicable

• References. 

Blinded Title Page:
For all new submissions and revisions, the first page of the manuscript should be a blinded title page (author(s) names and affiliations should be removed).

Seperate(Un-Blinded)Title Page

• The separate un-blinded title page should include

• The name(s) of the author(s)

• A concise and informative title

• The affiliation(s) and address(es) of the author(s)

• The e-mail address, phone, and fax numbers of the corresponding author

Main Text

• Headings and Subheadings in the text indicate the organisation of content. As a general principle, please do not use more than three levels of displayed headings. Since manuscripts are evaluated through an anonymous peer review process, authors must remove identifying references or material.​​​

Acknowledgments

• Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the reference list. The names of funding organisations should be written in full, and for the purposes of the blind peer-review process, acknowledgements should not violate the anonymity of the author (i.e., avoid acknowledgments in the format of “Thank you to my institution [x] and colleagues [name], [name]…)​

• References follow the text in a separate section headed “REFERENCES” using APA citation style. All references cited in the text must be listed in the reference section, and vice versa. Publication information for each must be complete and correct. It is the author's responsibility to make sure that all information provided in the reference section is complete and correct.​
