Terms of Submission
Papers must be submitted on the understanding that they have not been published elsewhere (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture, review, or thesis) and are not currently under consideration by another journal. The submitting author is responsible for ensuring that the article’s publication has been approved by all the other co-authors.
Once that has been confirmed, an additional checklist must be verified by the submitter before it is ready to be considered by APSRACT.

Peer Review
All submissions are subject to peer review and are expected to meet standards of academic excellence. Submissions will initially be considered by an associate editor and, where appropriate, passed to the peer-reviewers. Their identities will remain anonymous and to ensure a blind review please do not indicate any authors name or any other personal identifier in your manuscript. But write it in your e-mail when you submit it.

Manuscript

The manuscript itself should be sent as a single file. Please send only A4 sized Word (.doc, .docx) files. Use single line spacing and 11 pt Times font throughout. Do not use underline style and web or e-mail addresses should be in italics. The suggested length of the paper is 10-15 pages but should not exceed 20 pages.

Figures, images
You can use both colour and grayscale images in your manuscript.
When you insert a figure, photograph, captured computer screen, diagram, etc. please align it to the center of the page. Number each figure in numerical order starting from 1. Put the number and the caption below the figure, without leaving an empty line. Please ensure that the image is well separated from the text by inserting a blank line before the image and after the caption. Refer to the image in the text as per this example: We reached our aims (Figure 2).

There are two for dealing with the manuscript’s images.

Method A
The preferred way is for us to receive images is as uploaded supplementary files. Please retain the following technical stipulations:

– Image resolution: min. 300 DPI
– Image formats: png, tif, jpg.
– Color: in CMYK system
– Print size: max 13 cm wide
The document file should contain only low resolution images at the appropiate places. During the upload, name your image files as those named in the document i.e. Figure1.

Method B
Alternatively you can insert the higher resolution images into your document at the appropiate places. To ensure the press resolution, endeavour to insert as large images as possible, but consider that the maximum filesize you can upload is 8 MB.

Tables
Tables should be cited consecutively in the text. Every table must have a descriptive title and if numerical measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading.

Units of Measurement
Units of measurement should be presented simply and concisely using System International (SI) units.

Equations
When you insert an equation, align it to center. Number them starting from (1)
