I. INTRODUCTION

We ask that authors follow guidelines set in this template for submitting papers to Sanford Inter Science Press journals. Authors should prepare submitted papers to look exactly like this document. For each section of the manuscript, authors should employ the relevant Microsoft Word styles from the Styles and Formatting list (e.g. Title, Authors, Author_Affiliation, Abstract, Keywords, Heading 1, body, etc.). The easiest way is to copy and paste text from your manuscript file into this template file. Select a section that you want to designate with a certain style, and then select the appropriate name on the style menu. The style will adjust your fonts and line spacing. Use italics for emphasis and not underlines.

For the keywords use three to seven keywords separated by semicolons. Use capitalized words. Last keyword should end in period. The header and the footer areas are reserved for the typesetting purposes and should not be modified. Email address is compulsory for the corresponding author and should be provided in the bottom of first column of the body of the paper. No more than 3 levels of headings should be used. There is no limitation in the page number for journal papers. All headings must be in Times New Roman 10 pt font and Capitalized. For first heading (style Heading1), small caps should be used.

II. Page Layout

Template page size is A4. Margin size for all pages is 26 mm from top, 30 mm from bottom and 20 mm from left and right. The only exception is the Abstract and Keywords section which has margin of 28 mm from left and right. All paragraphs must be indented by 5 mm, justified with single line spacing. Paper must be in two column format with 12.7 mm space between columns. Columns on the last page should be made as close as possible to equal length. This can be achieved by inserting a Continuous Section Break after the last reference.

A. Text Font and Styles

The entire document should be in Times New Roman font size 10 (style Body). Title must be in 24 pt Times New Roman font. Author name must be in 11 pt normal and author affiliation must be in 10 pt italic Times New Roman font. Corresponding author email address must be in 8 pt Times New Roman font. Font size and predefined styles for various parts of the paper are shown in Table 1.

B. Figures and Tables

Figures and tables must be centered in the column. Large figures and tables may span across both columns, but should be placed either in the top or bottom of the page. Tables and figures must be numbered and captioned in 8 pt Times New Roman font. Captions of a single line must be centered whereas multi-line captions must be justified. Every word in a table caption should be capitalized. Figure 1 shows a sample figure. Color figures can be used, but appropriate legends should be chosen in order to make the figure understandable in black and white printing.

It is advised that you use a text box to insert a graphic (which is ideally a 300 dpi resolution TIFF or EPS file with all fonts embedded), and then you can change the text box borders to non-visible. It is also recommended to avoid placing tables and figures in the first page of the paper. Words Figure and Table and respective numbers should be bold and rest of caption should be regular font.

C. Equations

Equations should be typed using the Microsoft Word equation tools. An example of equation is shown in Eq. (1). Low-quality images or other equation applications are not accepted. Equations should be numbered consecutively and should be explained in the text. Note that the equation is centered using a center tab stop. Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined before or immediately following the equation.

D. Footnotes and Endnotes

Using footnotes is strongly discouraged and authors should try to incorporate the information in the text. Footnotes or endnotes should only be used if absolutely essential. If used, they should be numbered in the text, indicated by superscript numbers and kept as short as possible. For longer footnotes list them as endnotes, before the References. Footnotes and endnotes should both be numbered in Arabic numerals and, in the case of endnotes, preceded by the un-numbered heading “Endnotes”. For footnotes/endnotes use Time New Roman 8 pt, left alignment.

III. Online Submission

Authors are requested to submit papers through the online manuscript submission and tracking system at http://sispress.org/journals/index.php/index/login. You should first register with the system. Make sure to select the “□Author: Able to submit items to the journal” check-box while registering, as shown in figure 2.

Figure 2. Registering in the online submission system as Author.

After logging in to the submission system, author can upload the manuscript through the New Submission link. Should you have any questions or technical difficulties in using the online submission system please contact the corresponding journal editor or email address.

The submitted manuscript should very closely approximate the final output, enabling authors to judge the page-length and layout of their published articles. However, your output is not the camera-ready copy. Accepted manuscripts will be returned to authors along with reviewers’ comments. Authors should revise the paper according to the reviewers’ suggestions, if any, and submit the camera-ready copy. It is the responsibility of authors to make sure that the final copy complies completely with the journal template, otherwise it will be returned to authors for corrections, causing delay in paper’s publication time.

IV. Conclusions

The submitting author is responsible for obtaining agreement of all coauthors and any consent required from sponsors before submitting a paper. It is the obligation of the authors to cite relevant prior works in the paper. Authors of rejected papers may revise and resubmit.

Acknowledgment

Should be brief and placed at the end of the text before the references. Sponsors and financial support, if any, as well as other acknowledgments can be mentioned here. The heading of the Acknowledgment section must not be numbered.

References

The heading of the References section must not be numbered. All reference items must be in 8 pt font. Please use Regular and Italic formatting to distinguish different fields as shown in the examples below. Number the reference items consecutively in square brackets (e.g. [1]) and order them according to order they are first mentioned in the paper, not alphabetically. All citations should be listed in the reference list, and all references should be cited in the text. Refer simply to the reference number only, as in [2]—do not use “Ref. [2]” or “reference [2]” except at the beginning of a sentence (e.g. “Reference [3] introduced the ...”). The sentence punctuation follows the bracket [4]. Citing multiple references in the text should be as follows: [2,5] or [1,2,3] or [1–4,6].

References should be formatted according to the examples below. Adopted style is very similar to the Chicago citation style (CMS) described in [5]. Authors can use Microsoft Word’s Reference functionality or their favorite citation manager and choose Chicago style for references. Alternatively, authors can obtain citations in Chicago style from www.scholar .google.com or http://www.CitationMachine.net. One simple way to use correct formatting is to search for the cited paper in Google Scholar. After making sure the result is the intended paper, click on Cite option and choose Chicago style to copy-paste into your paper reference section, see figure 3. Apply the corrections if needed and add the DOI to the end of the citation. Authors must provide the DOI link to the references where applicable. DOIs should be placed after each reference, first use “DOI= “ followed by “http://dx.doi.org/” and then the DOI number, see an example in [6]. DOIs can be found in the original publishers websites. Alternatively authors can use DOI lookup tool from Crossref at: https://doi.crossref.org/guestquery. Every word in the title of references should be capitalized. Examples of citations for journal article [2], journal article (electronic) [3], book [4], thesis or dissertation [7] and conference and meeting [8,9] are provided below.

Length of two columns in the last page of the paper should be as close as possible. To achieve this effect, add a section break (continuous) in Microsoft Word after the last line of the text.
