Title page:

Choose a title that is long enough to cover the main points and by considering the importance of shortness. Do not use abbreviations in the title.

A list of all authors of the paper should be prepared. We need full first name, initial(s) for middle name(s) and full last name. Authors' affiliations should be indicated bellow followed by their E-mail addresses. Author's affiliation contains only department and university not author's degree or position. At least one e-mail address is needed. It will be used as the corresponding author's email address in all contacts with the authors. Furthermore, full address, telephone and fax number should be written.

Running title: a shorter version of the title (40 characters at most) is needed for page footer.

Abstract:

Abstract is the great importance as it may be reproduced elsewhere. Also, it is all that many may see of your work. It should be about 200-400 words long and includes the reason for the study, the main findings and the conclusions drawn from the observation. It is worth to note that it should not include abbreviations and references.

Keyword:

The abstract should be followed by up to 6 keywords additional to those in the title (alphabetically arranged and separated by comma).

 

General rules for writing:

 - use simple and declarative sentences; avoid long sentences, in which the meaning may be lost by complicated construction

-the following words should be in italic: latin names of genera and lower taxa (e.g., Salmo trutta), words which are originally not English (e.g., in vitro).

References should not be numerical and bring according to the American Psychological Association (APA) style, in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and the reference page. For the references credited to more than 6 authors please provide the name of the first six authors and represent the remaining authors by the phrase “et al.”.

In the text, give references in the following forms: 'Stork (1988) said', 'Stork (1988: 331)' where it is desired to refer to a specific page, and '(Rapport, 1983)' where giving reference simply as authority for a statement. Note that names of joint authors are connected by '&' in the text. When papers are by more than two authors, use et al. after first author: Ghahreman et al. (2006) or (Ghahreman et al., 2006).

The list of references must include all publications cited in the text but only these. Prior to submission, make sure that all references in the text agree with those in the references section, and that spelling is consistent throughout. In the list of references, titles of periodicals must be given in full, not abbreviated. For books, give the title, place of publication, name of publisher (if after 1930), and indication of edition if not the first. References should conform as exactly as possible to one of these four styles, according to the type of publication cited.

Figures, drawings and photographs must always be referred to as "Fig.", followed by a number. Refer to figures parenthetically; e.g. '... (Fig. 1)'. 'Fig. 1 shows ...' type statements should always be avoided when referring to figures presenting results. Use the same font in all figures and within a figure. Explain all graphic symbols (e.g. squares, triangles and so on) within the figure, not in the caption.
