Since the Journal is peer-reviewed, authors are requested to include the following information on the title page: the title, authors' names, academic rank, affiliations, mobile phone numbers, E-mail addresses, postal addresses, acknowledgments, and any Declaration of Interest statement. The main body of the paper should not include any identifying information, such as the authors' names or affiliations. Manuscripts should not exceed 5,000 words. They should follow APA-guidelines.
Papers considered suitable are then sent to at least two reviewers to assess their quality. The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding the acceptance or rejection of articles. The Editor's decision is final. Editors are not involved in decisions about papers that they have written themselves. Such submissions are subject to all of the journal's usual procedures. Papers extracted from master’s theses or Ph.D. dissertations must be examined and confirmed by the supervisor before its submission to the Journal; the corresponding author of such papers must be the supervisor. Authors may not submit their papers to another journal while they are under review by our journal. For papers with more than one author, the corresponding author must be determined. The type and size of the font for Persian and English are Lotus 13, and Times New Roman 11 respectively.
