(The font used should be Simplified Arabic for research written in Arabic or Times New Roman for research written in English or French, size 12 and single space for the text, size 16 bold for the title, and 14 bold for subtitles. A three-centimeters margin should be left on both sides. Figures, tables and pictures should be electronically inserted in their place within the text). Number of pages should not exceed 20, including figures, tables, pictures and bibliography. Use of footnotes is accepted.

Submitted papers are anonymously refereed to determine their suitability for publication. Papers are not sent back to researchers whether accepted for publication or not.

  1. The paper should be compiled in the following order:

http://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/docs/article/view/6406/6156

Title of paper; name, academic rank, and address of researcher; abstract; introduction spelling out the importance and objectives of the research; methodology and material; results and discussion; conclusions and recommendations; and references. The researcher must mention in the introduction (or in any appropriate place within the text) the place where the research was done and the period it took to accomplish.

      A sufficient abstract of about 100-150 words at most should be included in the language in which the paper is written (Arabic, English, French); and a sufficient abstract of about 100-150 words at most in Arabic if the paper is written in either English or French.

The two abstracts should be written on two separate sheets of paper and should precede the text of the paper.

  1. The first time a scientific term is mentioned in Arabic, it should be followed by its equivalent in English or French; afterwards it is sufficient to use the Arabic version only.
  2. Figures and pictures must be numbered and placed within small parentheses ( ) according to their order within the text; and their significance should be explained below the figures in Simplified Arabic, size 10 bold (Time New Romans, size 10 bold). The same applies to tables, except that their significance should be explained above the tables.
