Thank you for choosing to submit your paper to us. These instructions ensure that we have everything required for your paper to smoothly pass through peer review, production, and publication. Please take the time to read and follow them as closely as possible, as this will ensure that your research paper meets the journal's requirements.
The journal is committed to the integrity of the peer review process and upholding the highest review standards. Once your research paper has been assessed for suitability by the editor, it will be subjected to double-blind peer review by independent and anonymous experts.
(Read our guidelines on publication ethics).
Your paper should be assembled in the following order:
Title page; Abstract; Keywords; Introduction; Main Text; Results and Discussion; References; Appendices (if applicable).
The paper should not exceed 5000 words or 15 pages. Suppose the number of pages exceeds this limit. In that case, an additional fee of £10 for Egyptian authors, or $10 for non-Egyptian authors, will be charged for each extra page, up to a maximum of 10 additional pages.
Please use this reference guide when preparing your paper.
The research title should not exceed 12 words and must be centered at the top of the page, using 14pt bold Times New Roman for English titles. The title should be specific and reflect the content of the research paper.
Author details should be written below the research title (in the final revised version edited by the journal's editorial board) and centered at the top of the page using 11pt italic Times New Roman. Please also include ORCiDs where available.
The abstract is a concise summary of the research study's content, results, and significance. It is a crucial part of the research paper as it may be the only part many readers will read to understand the study's content without reading the entire paper.
The abstract should include:
The abstract should consist of no more than 250 words, formatted in 11pt italic Times New Roman.
After the abstract, include 6 keywords separated by semicolons (;), formatted in 11pt italic Times New Roman.
The introduction should provide the scientific background of the research topic, the problem, and the objectives, clearly and concisely.
The introduction consists of several parts:
The research should be written in separate sections, each beginning with a main title and subtitles. Each main title should be numbered 1., 2., 3., etc., until the end of the research. Subtitles should be numbered according to their position relative to the main title they belong to, such as 1.1, 1.2, etc. All main and sub-titles should be formatted in 13pt bold Times New Roman.
The research paper should be prepared in a single-column, printable format with A4 size (21x29.7 cm), with margins (top 4.00 cm, bottom 2.54 cm, sides 2.54 cm). The final revised research paper should be single-spaced and preferably in 12pt Times New Roman for the main text.
Figures refer to photographs, illustrations, diagrams, etc. They should complement the text rather than replace it and help clarify points that are difficult to explain textually. Avoid unnecessary or redundant figures. Figures should be of high quality (1200 dpi for line art, 600 dpi for grayscale, and 300 dpi for color, in the correct size). They should be provided in one of the following file formats: JPEG, GIF, or Microsoft Word (DOC or DOCX).
Insert the figure and its data in a Text Box with 'No outline' selected. Write the figure number in bold (Figure 1), followed by its data directly below the figure in 10pt italic Times New Roman. Leave a one-line space between the figure and its data and between the data and the main text. Figures should be referred to in the main text (Figure 1).
Table data should be above the table, not below as with figures. If the table contains data sourced from other references, these sources must be clearly stated below the table or in the comments. Insert the table and its data in a Text Box with 'No outline' selected. Create a live table with editable data; image tables or any table format that does not allow data editing are not permitted.
Write the table number in bold (Table 1), followed by its data in 10pt italic Times New Roman. Leave a one-line space between the table and its data and between the data and the main text. Tables should be referred to in the main text (Table 1).
Submit the research paper in WORD format to allow the editorial board to adjust the settings.

"Place the quoted paragraph within double upper quotation marks inside the main text" in italics.
After the quoted paragraph, place the author's last name, publication year, and relevant page number in parentheses.
