Key requirements

The following lists the essential requirements for an article to be published in the Egyptian Society for Basic Sciences Series journals:

  1. The page size should be A4; • each page should have clear margins of 4cm (top), 2.5cm (left and right) and 2.7cm (bottom); • pages should not contain page numbers, running heads, or footlines.
  2. All articles must contain an abstract; • in the PDF, all fonts should be embedded. 1.1. Layout of the title page.
  3. The title should be followed by a list of all authors’ names and their affiliations. The style for the names is the family name followed by initials (no periods). The authors’ affiliations follow the author list. If there is more than one address then a superscripted number should come at the start of each address; each author should also have a superscripted number or numbers following their name to indicate which address, or addresses, are the appropriate ones for them.
  4. A corresponding author should be assigned, and his E-mail address should be given.
  5. The abstract follows the list of addresses.
  6. The abstract text should be indented 25 mm from the left margin. As the abstract is not part of the text it should be complete in itself; no table numbers, figure numbers, references or displayed mathematical expressions should be included. It should be suitable for direct inclusion in abstracting services.
  7. A list of not more than five keywords should be included after the Abstract.
  8. The text of the article should start on the same page as the abstract. It should be composed of sections and subsections.
  9. Any Acknowledgments should be placed immediately after the last numbered section of the paper, and any appendices after the Acknowledgments section.
  10. Figures and tables should be numbered serially and positioned (centered on the width of the page) close to where they are mentioned in the text, not grouped at the end.
  11. Each figure and table should have a brief explanatory caption.
  12. There are no restrictions on the use of colour in the online version of the article. However, one should bear in mind that any print version of your article is likely to be in black and white which may make colored lines difficult to distinguish.
  13. We are happy for authors to submit supplementary data attachments to enhance the online versions of published articles. Supplementary data enhancements typically consist of video clips, animations, or supplementary data such as data files, tables of extra information, or extra figures.
  14. Online references will be linked to their source or the article within a secondary service such as INSPEC or Chem Port wherever possible. To facilitate this linking extra care should be taken when preparing reference lists.
  15. A complete reference should provide enough information to locate the article concerned in print or electronic form. If you are unsure of a particular journal’s abbreviated title it is best to leave the title in full. The terms loc. cit. and ibid. should not be used.
  16. References citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets, e.g. [1-3, 7].
  17. References to printed journal articles should typically contain: • the authors, in the form: of family name (only the first letter capitalized) followed by initials with no periods after the initials; single author and two-authors are allowed to wright their full names.
  18. Names are followed by title (optional); the journal title abbreviation. Parts denoted by letters should be inserted after the journal in Roman type; • the volume number in bold type; • the article number or the page numbers. the year of publication.
