Authors are asked to pay close attention to the instructions below
concerning preparation of the manuscript: manuscripts that do not
conform to these instructions will be returned.
Manuscript Submission
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published
before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its

– Plate and illustrations: the format of the journal (16.5x24.5 cm) should be borne in mind, and illustrations should be of such a size as to allow a 65% reduction. Plates and illustrations, together with their relevant captions, should be indicate in Roman numerals (e.g. Fig. I, Plate I, etc.); illustrations in the text composed of more than one drawing of photograph should always be numbered from 1 (e.g. Fig. I, 1, 2, 3, etc., Plate II, 1, 2, 3, …); while
tables should use Arabic numerals (e.g. Table 1, etc.).
– Captions are to be written on a separate page with precise references to the illustration. – Figures, photos etc. should be submitted as 300 dpi TIFF, EPS, or PDF files. Line art should be 1200 dpi bitmap format. The IPEG (JPG) format may also submitted, but must be of a high resolution and size that allow for good print reproduction when reduced and
converted to TIFF format.
The Author must be willing to revise and return the proofs within 15 days.
Special requests of photocopying or reproducing should be addressed
