Please pay attention to the quality of the Figures. All the Figures copied from Excel or any other
applications should be pasted as Picture (Enhanced Metafile) using Paste Special from Edit Toolbar.
Figures should be centred and attention should be paid that the Figure is aligned in line with text
using Format Object Toolbar, Layout tag. Figures should be numbered consecutively in the order in

which reference is made to them in the text and Figure Captions should be given centred beneath each
figure with 6pt space above. Reference should be mentioned if figure is cited from any other
publication. In diagrams, axis should be clearly defined and usage of only symbols should be avoided.
Legend and axis descriptions should be read easily with at least 8 pt font. One blank line space should
be used before the figure. All figures need to be cited in the text as Fig. number.

Equations used in the main text should be centred and numbered consecutively. Equation
numbers should be placed at the right end of the equation line between parentheses. Numbers of
equations given as a group or in sequence should be placed in-line with the equation at the bottom of
the group. Equation Editor should be used to create Equations using 11 point Symbols and Times New
Roman font. All equations need to be cited in the text as Eq. (number).

References should be given at the end. References should be written in text up to 2 authors as
Clough and Penzien (1993), for more than two authors as Amini Hosseini et al. (2009). Reference at
the end of the sentence, using the previous criteria, should be given in parentheses (Amini Hosseini et
al., 2009). For a variety of references, some examples are given in the following References section.
References should be sorted in alphabetical order with respect to surnames. References should
be in English. If several works by the same author are cited, entries should be in chronological order,
as the latest one given first. References should be written using 10 point Times New Roman font.

publications should be separated by a comma. Conference and journal titles should be written in italic,
book, thesis and reports should be given underlined. Point should not be used within References.

CONCLUSIONS
