2. The first page of the manuscript includes the following:

a. Title of the manuscript, in English

b. The name of the author(s), according to their role in the research, with their affiliation(s), in English

      languages, with an e-mail address (s).

c. Abstract of the manuscript in English, with a total number of words ranging between 150-250 words.

d. Paragraphs a, b, and c are written in Arabic and placed on the last page.

    Please take the below notes into consideration:
a. The title of the manuscript is in both Arabic and English in a standard font (Times New Roman) with   

      a  size of 14 in bold and single space.
b. Names of authors with the size 11 in bold, while the author(s) affiliation(s) in italic and e-mail are in 

     the size 10.

c. The manuscript's main text should be written using Times New Roman font with a size of 12, and a single space is required.

5. The manuscript must be written in a single column.

6. All Figures, photos, illustrations, and tables are to be numbered using Arabic numerals cited in the

    text in consecutive numerical order, and the caption of each is written with a font size of 12 with 

     bold and italic. High-resolution and clear images are required.

7. Word's built-in equation editor must be used for the purpose of printing mathematical equations. A      space of 6pt is left before and after the equation.

8. - The heading of the References section must not be numbered.

    - All reference items must be in 12 pt font.

   - Please use Regular and Italic styles to distinguish different fields, as shown in the References section.
