The submitted article that does not follow the template of the journal will be returned to the authors for arranging according to the journal’s template. All scientific papers should be written in English or French. Regardless of the language of the article the title, abstract, keywords, and bibliography should be in the English language.

 3.1. Footnotes

The superscript numeral used to refer to a footnote appears in the text either directly after the word to be discussed or – in relation to a phrase or a sentence – following the punctuation mark (comma, semicolon, or period). Footnotes should appear at the bottom of the normal text area, with the automatic insertion of “footnotes”. The footnotes are used for additional information on a certain matter. All footnotes must be numbered consecutively (in Arabic numbers) on each page; the settings are as follows: the number format is 1,2,3…, it starts at “1”, numbering: “restarts each page”. 

3.2. Citations and References

References and citations should follow the APA Citation Style, 7^th Edition. For more details see the Book on the matter.

All tables must be numbered consecutively (in Arabic numbers). Table headings should be placed above the table. Leave no blank line between the table and the caption.

Table 1. Table captions should always be positioned above the tables, bold and centered
