The researchers and the authors are encouraged to follow precisely this methodology in their papers.This templateis modified in MS Word 2007 and provides authors with most of the important information and the formatting specifications needed for preparing electronic versions of their papers. The template is used to format your paper and style the text. All margins, column widths, line spaces, and text fonts are prescribed; please do not alter them.
In the introduction part, authors must carefully review the literature and provide the reason as to why we need to do this research. Authors must also clearly state the novelty of the paper in this part and specify the differences between this work and previously published works.
First, confirm that you have the correct template for your paper size. This template has been tailored for output on the A4 paper size. After the text edit has been completed, the paper is ready for the template.Use the scroll down window on the left of the MS Word Formatting toolbar. If you cannot use this template as an example, please pay attention to the following:

The affiliated institutions are to be listed directly below the names of the authors. Multiple affiliations should be marked with superscript Arabic numbers, and they should each start on a new line as shown in this document. Do not repeat the affiliation each time for multiple uthors of the same affiliation.E-mail addresses should start on a new line and should be grouped per affiliation.
Clearly identify the author who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing, publication, and post-publication. In addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address, the telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) of the contact author should be provided.
Text heads organize the topics on a relational, hierarchical basis. If there are two or more sub-topics, the next level head (uppercase Roman numerals) should be used and, conversely, if there are not at least two sub-topics, then no subheads should be introduced. Styles named “Heading 1”, “Heading 2”, “Heading 3”, and “Heading 4” are prescribed.
It is essential that all illustrations are clear and legible. Vector graphics should be used for diagrams and schemas whenever possible.Please check that the lines in line drawing are not interrupted and have a constant width. Details within the figures must be clearly legible. Line drawings are to have a resolution of at least 800 dpi. Figures are to be numbered and to have a caption whichshould always be positioned under the figures, in contrast to the caption belonging to a table, which should always appear above the table.Captions are set in 10 pt.
