Instructions for authors to write the Abstract

The abstract is one of the most important parts of the paper. Not only does it correspond to that part of the paper which has the highest number of visits and downloads, it also corresponds to that part of the paper which the indexers and databases load into their records. Not to mention, it also facilitates the peer review process and helps readers to decide whether to read the rest of the paper or not.

* References list at the end of the text have to follow journal style guidelines, which follow author-date system of the Chicago Manual of Style's most recent online edition (http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/toolscitationguide.html)
