Guide for Authors

Having an ORCID identifier is mandatory for all authors. You can register at https://orcid.org/register.

Guidance for authors:

1  Register in Shahid Beheshti University’s SinaWeb, and follow its suggested steps for submission.

2   Upload your files.

The journal office will upload review results on the website. The planned refereeing time is two months. Occasionally, however, it might take more. The submission must include the following:

1   the original paper

2   pictures (if any)

3    contents list

4   a 300-word (max) abstract

5    keywords

6    research questions

7    a title page including the author’s personal and contact details (For multi-author papers it is necessary to specify the corresponding author. Otherwise the first cited name is taken as the corresponding author.)

The paper should be no more than 6000 words long. Exceptions are subject to the referees’ and editorial board’s approval. The inclusion of a PDF file is recommended (particularly if no hard copies is submitted) as it reduces the risks of software and OS discrepancies.
