The Journal will publish an Index entirely in English, for use by leading international journals.
The proofs will be sent to the authors for a final review (restricted to errors and composition) and must be returned immediately. Proofs that are not returned within the requested time - 2 days - will have their publication postponed for a future opportunity, depending on space.
Illustrative Material - Authors should limit tables and figures (both numbered in Arabic) to what is strictly necessary. In the manuscript text, the author will indicate the places where they should be interspersed.
Tables must have their own title and, at the bottom, other explanatory information. Symbols and abbreviations must be defined in the main text and/or subtitles.
When preparing the illustrative material and tables, keep in mind the size of the journal's useful page (22 cm x 15.0 cm); (column: 7 cm) and the idea of keeping the vertical direction. Overly large drawings and photographs can lose a lot of sharpness when they are reduced to the dimensions of the usable page. The boards must be a maximum of 30 cm high by 25 cm wide and include calibration bar(s).
Illustrations should be grouped together whenever possible. The Editorial Committee reserves the right to dispose of this material in the most economical way, without prejudice to its presentation.
Final Recommendations: Before sending your work, prepared according to the previous instructions, the author should read it carefully, paying attention to the following items: ORCID of authors, title reduced to header, indicate the corresponding author with the respective e-mail , grammar correction, typing correction (only one syllable reading per syllable will guarantee), correspondence between the works cited in the text and those referred to in the bibliography, tables and figures in Arabic, correspondence between the numbers of tables and figures cited in the text and those referred to in each and correct position of the subtitles.
