First: Research Formatting

• The total number of words in the research paper should not exceed 8,000 words, including the abstracts, references, sources, footnotes, and appendices (if any)
• The abstract should not exceed 200 words
• The line spacing in the research paper should be single-spaced, with one inch margins
• Research papers should be printed with single line spacing and one-inch margins. For manuscripts in Arabic, the main text should be in font size 13 using (Simplified Arabic), with a top and bottom margin of 3 cm, and 2.5 cm margins on both the right and left sides
• As for manuscripts in English, the font should be size 12 in (Times New Roman), with a margin of 3 cm at the top and bottom, and 2.5 cm on both the right and left sides
• For manuscripts in Arabic, the font size should be 15 bold for the main title, 14 bold for subheadings, and 10 for footnotes and appendices
• For manuscripts in English, the font size should be 13 bold for the main title, 12 bold for subheadings, and 10 for footnotes and appendices.
• The research paper must number the footnotes sequentially on each page separately (1, 2, 3, ...), with the footnotes placed at the bottom of the page. Each page should have its own independent numbering, meaning that on the next page, the numbering restarts from (1) to (2) to (...), and so on until the end of the paper.
• Illustrations and tables in research papers should be placed in their appropriate locations, with proper numbering. Each table must have a descriptive title at the top, and any explanatory notes should be placed below the table. The same applies to illustrations
• The editorial board reserves the right to make any formatting changes, such as font size and type, and line spacing, in accordance with the journal’s guidelines

Second: Research Elements & Organization

• An abstract must be written in Arabic if the manuscript is in Arabic, along with a translated abstract in English, or vice versa. The abstract should concisely present the research topic, content, methodology, perspective, and a brief outline of its structure
• The introduction includes the following elements: the research topic, its problem, questions, objectives, rationale for writing it, methodology, procedures, framework and structure, main sources, and key findings
• The research must be written in a clear and formal language, free from linguistic, grammatical, or typographical errors, with proper use of punctuation marks
• Disclosure of previous studies that overlap with the research/manuscript intended for publication, whether the overlap is complete or partial
• The research should be divided into a main title and sequential subheadings that are coherent in content. The researcher must adhere to the specified font size and type as outlined in the formatting and structure guidelines (Section One)
• A conclusion should be written at the end of the research, including the main findings and recommendations
• The research must include a list of sources and references, arranged in alphabetical order.
• Graphs and illustrative figures should be inserted into the text, numbered sequentially, with their titles and explanatory notes written below them
• Tables should be inserted into the text and numbered sequentially, with their titles written above them. Explanatory notes should be written below the table
• Appendices and indexes—if any—should be included at the end of the research.
