Original and unpublished articles have priority of publication. English expanded version of articles that have been published in conference proceedings are considered according to relevance and originality. Subsequently, the work is sent to reviewers, keeping secrecy of name author (s) as well as the institution confidential.

The entire body of the text should be written in Times New Roman, size 12, justified and with single line spacing, and between paragraphs from zero to item before and 6 points to after. The page margins should be 2.5 cm (top and bottom) and 2.0 cm (left and right). All paragraphs should have a 1.25 cm tab in the first row and the tables and figures should be quoted in full in the text body (eg, Figure 1, Table 1). Throughout the text, the international system of units (IS) should be used to indicate measures. The article should have the following structure:

The availability of a template for submission aims to standardize the submission format text of the journal, reducing the publishing period, and making possible the scheduled periodicity. The list of references should be presented at the end of the text, in a specific section. Do not use footnotes.
