  • Discussion
  • Conclusion and Recommendations
  • References

Notes:

  • Avoid attachments like appendices or questionnaires. Research objectives, questions, and hypotheses should be clearly explained at the end of the problem statement.

File Submission Requirements

Guidelines for Foreign Terms

Use approved Persian equivalents for foreign terms whenever possible. For non-standard terms, provide the Latin equivalent as a footnote on the first mention.

Footnotes

  • Persian footnotes: Right-aligned, B Mitra, 10 pt.
  • English footnotes: Left-aligned, Times New Roman, 9 pt.

  • Reference sources for tables using the APA style in the caption.

Additional Notes

  • Ensure charts and diagrams have sufficient clarity if inserted as images.
  • Maintain spacing: Leave one blank line before and after each figure or table.
  • Adhere to the formatting guidelines strictly for consistency and readabiliy.

Mathematical Formulas and Equations

To present mathematical formulas and equations, use a two-column table with invisible borders as shown in the example below. In the right column, include the equation number, and in the left column, write the corresponding formula or equation. (It is mandatory to use Microsoft Equation for writing formulas).

If the formulas are created in Microsoft Word 2007, the file must be saved with the .docx extension to prevent formulas from being converted into images.

All mathematical equations should be numbered sequentially starting from 1, with each equation number enclosed in parentheses. Equations must be written in Times New Roman, 11 pt font size.

Mathematical Formulas and Equations

To display mathematical formulas and equations, use a two-column table with invisible borders as demonstrated in the example below. The right column of the table should contain the equation number, while the left column should contain the formula or equation itself. (The use of Microsoft Equation for writing formulas is mandatory).

If the formulas are created in Microsoft Word 2007, the submitted file must be saved with the .docx extension to prevent formulas from being converted into images.

All mathematical equations should be numbered sequentially starting from 1, with the equation number enclosed in parentheses. Formulas should be formatted using Times New Roman, 11 pt font size

References

For referencing, use the American Psychological Association (APA) citation style. To improve efficiency and ease of referencing, you may use software such as WORD, Mendeley, or EndNote.

In the English references list, all Persian citations must be translated into English, formatted in Times New Roman, size 11 pt, with book titles and journal names italicized.

Key Points for References:

Point 1: As shown in Table 3 below, the citation format for books and articles is explained. For other types of sources, such as theses, research reports, governmental statistics, unpublished materials, websites, audio and video files, etc., adhere to the APA guidelines. Ensure all elements, such as journal issue numbers in parentheses, italicized journal or thesis names, and book titles, are properly formatted as demonstrated in Table 3.

Point 2: References must be written in full (not abbreviated). For journals, whether in Persian or English, include:

  • The journal name (italicized),
  • Volume,
  • (Issue number in parentheses),
  • Pages (starting page - ending page).

(Refer to Table 3 for an example.)

Point 3: For books, whether in Persian or English, include the publisher and place of publication in the citation (see Table 3 for an example).

Point 4: For theses or dissertations, whether in Persian or English, include the university and city associated with them (see Table 3 for guidance).

Point 5: For seminar or conference references, it is mandatory to include the exact date and location of the event.

Important Notes for Persian References:

  • In the text, all references must be written in Persian, even for English sources.
  • Do not use terms like "et al." in Persian references; instead, list all authors and researchers unless there are more than three authors.
  • Persian references must also be written in Persian in the references section, using this format:

(Last name of the first author, First name of the same author., and Last name of the second author, First name of the same author. (Publication year). Title of the article. Name of the journal, Volume (Issue), Starting page - Ending page.)

Example:

 

Key Points for English References:

  • At the end of the text, under the "References" section, both English and Persian sources must be listed in English.
  • When translating Persian references into English, consult the original source or seek professional translation assistance; Google Translate is not a reliable option. Always refer to the English title page of the source for accurate details.
  • For Persian references translated into English, add (in Persian) at the end of each citation.
  • References must be alphabetically ordered by English letters.

Some Important Editorial Guidelines

  • Use numbers and periods for numbering, like in this section.
  • No space is needed before periods, commas, semicolons, colons, question marks, exclamation points, etc.; however, a space should follow these punctuation marks.
  • When using parentheses, use a space before the opening parenthesis and after the closing parenthesis. The word inside the parentheses should stick to the parentheses without a space.
  • For compound words or certain verbs and similar terms, use a non-breaking hyphen (e.g., انسان‌ها, می‌رود, تصمیم‌گیری, اندازه‌گیری, بهره‌مند, منطقی, همان‌گونه, etc.). [For example, "می خواهم" (incorrect) and "می‌خواهم" (correct)]. To create a non-breaking hyphen in WORD, use Ctrl + Shift + 2.
  • Instead of using the symbol (%) in the text, use the word "percent" (e.g., 25 percent).
  • According to the new guidelines from the Academy of Persian Language and Literature, avoid using "هی" and instead use the hamza (ۀ) when necessary.
