The preferred file formats for any separately submitted figure(s) are JPEG, PNG and TIFF. All figures should be of optimal resolution. Optimal
resolutions preferred are 300 dots per inch (dpi) for RBG colored, 600 dpi for grayscale and 1,200 dpi for line art. Although there is no file-size
limitation imposed, authors are highly encouraged to compress their figures to an ideal size without unduly affecting the legibility and resolution
of figures.
If necessary, the editors may request author(s) to supply high-resolution and/or unprocessed images after submission or paper acceptance for
pre-screening/review and production purposes, respectively.
Tables
Include all tables at the back of manuscript. Editable tables created using Microsoft Word are preferred. A table should be accompanied by a
caption on top of it. Captions and legends (which are placed beneath table) should be concise. All tables should be numbered (e.g., Table
1, Table 2) in boldface. Explain all symbols and abbreviations used. Tables must be cited in chronological manner in the text.
Lists and math formulae
Lists and math formulae should be properly aligned and included within the main body of the manuscript. List them using Roman numerals in
parenthesis (e.g. (I), (II), (III), (IV), etc.) Lists and math formulae must be cited in chronological manner in the text.
Lists and math formulae should be given in editable text and not as images. Use the solidus (/) for small fractional terms, e.g., X/Y. In principle,
variables should be italicized.
Footnotes
Do not use footnotes.
In-text citations
Reference citations in the text should be numbered consecutively in superscript square brackets. Some examples:
• Negotiation research spans many disciplines [3,4] .
• This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman .
[5]
• This effect has been widely studied [1–3,7] .
Do not include citations in the Abstract.
Personal communications and unpublished works can only be used in the manuscript and are not to be placed in the References section.
Authors are advised to limit such usage to the minimum. These should be made identifiable by stating the authors, year of personal
communications or unpublished works, and the words “personal communication” or “unpublished” in parenthesis, e.g., (Smith J, 2000,
unpublished).
References
This section is compulsory and should be placed at the end of all manuscripts. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference
list. The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal
communications and unpublished works should be excluded from this section.
Authors being referenced are listed with their surname or last name followed by their initials. All references should be numbered (e.g., 1, 2, 3,
and so on) and sequenced according to the order they appear as the in-text citations. References (especially journal article’s) should follow
the general pattern: author(s), followed by year of publication, title of publication, abbreviated journal name in italics, volume number, issue
number in parenthesis and lastly, page range or article ID. If the referred article has more than 3 authors, list only the first 3 authors and
abbreviate the remaining authors as italicized “et al.” (meaning "and others"). Use of DOI is highly encouraged; include DOI, if available, after
the page range or article ID. Examples of references for different types of publications are as follows:
(1) Journals
Journal article (print) with 1-3 authors:
Younger P, 2004, Using the internet to conduct a literature search. Nurs Stand, 19(6): 45–51.
Journal article (print) with more than 3 authors:
Gamelin FX, Baquet G, Berthoin S, et al., 2009, Effect of high intensity intermittent training on heart rate variability in prepubescent children. Eur
J Appl Physiol, 105(1): 731–738.
