Writing Rules
The article file, similarity report and other documents should be submitted through the journal's website www.iuajt.com.
In order for the articles submitted for evaluation to be accepted, it is required that they have not been published anywhere before. Submitted articles are first reviewed by the editorial board. If an article meets the necessary conditions in terms of content and style, the reviewers then review the article for suitability for publication.
All articles are evaluated by two referees and, if deemed necessary, are sent to a third referee. Publication of an article is subject to the approval of the referees. Authors are obliged to make the necessary corrections requested by the referees.
In general, submitted manuscripts should be in the following format:
• Articles should be at least 5000 and at most 12000 words.
• Manuscripts should be typed in MS Word processor with normal margins, 10 point Cambria font and 1.15 line spacing, justified on both sides.
• Tables, figures, illustrations and charts should be of a size appropriate to the page of the journal. If necessary, they may be typed in smaller font size and single-spaced.
Tables and charts should be numbered sequentially according to their appearance in your manuscript. Footnotes to the tables should be placed just below the body of the table and should be identified by lowercase identifying letters. Avoid using vertical rulers. As few tables as possible should be used and care should be taken to ensure that the data presented in the tables are not identical to results already presented elsewhere in the article.
A separate page should be created and should include the full name(s) and institutional title(s) of the author(s) and the postal address(es), work/mobile telephone number(s), e-mail address(es) of the corresponding author(s).
The manuscript should include the following sections:
• A title in English and a 150-200 word abstract containing 5-8 keywords.
