Author Guidelines

Please follow the manuscript requirements listed below to prepare your manuscript.

Manuscript Style Requirements

1. Manuscripts should be written in English. The pages should be numbered consecutively. Electronic submission of papers in PDF document format is mandatory.


2. Papers should be written using a 12pt font with single line spacing and  should not exceed 14 pages (about 8000 words).


3. The authors' names and addresses should not appear in the body of the manuscript, to preserve anonymity and ensure blind review.


4. At the head of each paper there should be a summary of up to 200 words. The summary should be self contained and understandable by a non-expert reader. The summary is followed by a selection of keywords.


5. Sections and subsections should be clearly distinguished with a two-level numbering at most.


6. Papers must be written without the use of footnotes.


7. Mathematical expressions and Greek or other symbols should be written clearly with ample spacing.


8. References in the text are indicated by authors' names and year of publication in parentheses. If a referenced paper has three or more authors the reference should always appear as the first author followed by et al. The references are listed alphabetically at the end of the manuscript. Journal titles should not be abbreviated.
