4- Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the table caption.

5- Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data) and included beneath the table body.

If an appendix appears in your article and it contains one or more figures, continue the consecutive numbering of the main text. Do not number the appendix figures, "A1, A2, A3, etc.". 4. Each figure should have a concise caption describing accurately what the figure depicts. 5. Figure captions must be typed using a plain 11-point Times New Roman begin with the term Figure in bold type, followed by the figure number, also in bold type (e.g. Figure 1: The actual diagram of ……). 6. Identify all elements found in the figure in the figure caption; and use boxes, circles, etc., as coordinate points in graphs. 7. Identify previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference citation at the end of the figure caption.

 

ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDITING

For editors and reviewers to accurately assess the work presented in your manuscript you need to ensure the English language is of sufficient quality to be understood. If you need help with writing in English you should consider:

1- Asking a colleague who is a native English speaker to review your manuscript for clarity.
