Manuscript Requirements

A paper must be written in text processor Microsoft Word. Paper size: A4. Margins: 3.0 cm on top and bottom, and 2.5 cm on left and right sides. As a guide, articles should be no more than 5.000 words in length. In case the paper exceeds the normal length, the Editors' consent for its publication is needed. Articles submitted for publication in Journal should include the research aim and tasks, with detailed methodology, presenting literature overview on the research object, substantiation of the achieved results and findings, conclusions and a list of references. Manuscripts should be arranged in the following order of presentation.

First page: Title (no more that 10 words), subtitle (if any), autobiographical note (the author's full name, academic affiliation, telephone, fax and e-mail address and full international contact). Respective affiliations and addresses of co-authors should be clearly indicated. Please also include approximately 50 words of biographical information on each author of the submitted paper.

Second page:
A self-contained abstract/summary/resume of up to 150 words, describing the research objective and its conclusions
Up to ten keywords, which encapsulate the principal subjects covered by the article; and
A self-contained summary of up to 200 words, describing the article and its conclusions.

Subsequent pages: Main body of the text with headings, footnotes, a list of references, appendices, tables and illustra-tions. The paragraph parameters are:
Font: Times New Roman, 10 pt, regular
Spacing: Before: 0, After: 0
Line Spacing: Single
Alignment: Justified
Indentation: Left: 0, Right: 0, Special: 0.
Style: Normal (not Title, Heading1, Heading2,...,Body Text, etc!)

Leave an empty line between paragraphs.

Headings: Headings must be short, clearly defined and numbered, except for Introduction and Conclusions. Apply at most three levels of headings. Please, leave two empty lines before headings and one empty line after. Font: Times New Roman, bold, 16 pt, centered.
Section headings should be in bold with Leading Capitals on Main Words, Times New Roman, 14pt, bold, centered.

All tables, graphs and diagrams are expected to back your research findings. They should be clearly referred to and numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals. They should be placed in the text at the appropriate paragraph (just after its reference).

Tables should be centered. All tables must have captions. The title of your table should follow the table number. Tables should not be wider than the margins of the paper. Skip two lines before and after each table.

Figures should be centered. All figures must have captions. The title of figures should appear immediately below the figure. The title of the figure should follow the figure number. Figures should not be wider than the margins of the paper. Skip two lines before and after each figure. Figures will not be redrawn by the publisher. Figures should be high-quality grayscale graphics (please, do not use colors): vector drawings (with text converted to curves) or 300 dpi bitmaps. Please do not supply any graphics copied from a website, as the resolution will be too low. In all figures taken or adapted from other sources, a brief note to that effect is obligatory, below the figure. One sentence at least referring to the illustration is obligatory.

Mathematical expressions should be numbered on the right side, while all variables and parameters must be defined.

References should be done according to APA 6.0 standard. Please find the reference guide on the following link:
