• References. 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 should only be mentioned in the text. If available the DOI can be added at the end of the reference in question.

Citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets. citation used APA Style and may use a Mendeley or End Note or Jabref  Reference Manager. Journal titles should be abbreviated. References with correct punctuation should be styled as follows:

Journal articles:

Green T, Black J, Blue W (2010) Title of article. Abbreviated journal title Vol No: page-page

Books:

Green T, Black J (2012) Book title. Publisher, location

Multiauthor books:

Blue W (2011) Chapter title. In: Green T, Black J (eds) Book title. Publisher, location, pp 1–50

References such as ‘‘personal communications’’ or ‘‘unpublished data’’ cannot be included in the reference list, but should be mentioned in the text in parentheses: this also applies to papers presented at meetings but not yet published or accepted for publication. A date should be given for both ‘‘personal communications’’ and ‘‘unpublished data’’.

Papers which have been accepted for publication should be included in the list of references with the name of the journal and ‘‘in press’’.

Oral communications should only be mentioned in the acknowledgements.

A paper published online but not (yet) in print can be cited using the Digital Object Identifier (DOI). The DOI should be added at the end of the reference in question.

Example: Ward J, Robinson PJ (2004) How to detect hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis. Eur Radiol DOI 10.1007/s00330-004-1450-y

• Illustrations and Tables. All figures (photographs, graphs or diagrams) and tables should be cited in the text, and each numbered consecutively throughout. Lowercase letters (a, b etc.) should be used to identify figure parts. If illustrations are supplied with uppercase labeling, lowercase letters will still be used in the figure legends and citations.

Line drawings. Please submit good-quality prints. The inscriptions should be clearly legible.

Half-tone illustrations (black and white and color). Please submit well-contrasted photographic prints with the top indicated on the back.

Plates. Several figures or figure parts should be grouped in a plate on one page.

Tables should have a title and a legend explaining any abbreviation used in that table.

Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data).

Electronic Submission

Text and figures must be sent as separate files Technical instructions for preparing your manuscript

• Text

This journal accepts either LaTeX or Word documents.

LaTeX: The electronic version should include the original source (including all style files and figures) and a PostScript or PDF version of the compiled submission. Authors who prepare their papers with

LaTeX are encouraged to use macropackage for this journal, available at (Not Available). 

Layout guidelines

1. Use a normal, plain font (e.g., Times Roman) for text.

Other style options:

• For textual emphasis use italic types.
• For special purposes, such as for mathematical vectors, use boldface type.

2. Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages.

3. Do not use field functions.

4. For indents use tab stops or other commands, not the space bar.

5. Use the table functions of your word processing program, not spreadsheets, to make tables.

6. Use the equation editor of your word processing program or MathType for equations.

7. Place any figure legends or tables at the end of the manuscript.

8. Submit all figures as separate files and do not integrate them within the text.

• Illustrations

The preferred figure formats are EPS for vector graphics exported from a drawing program and TIFF for halftone illustrations. EPS files must always contain a preview in TIFF of the figure. The file name (one file for each figure) should include the figure number. Figure legends should be included in the text and not in the figure file.

–         Scan resolution: Scanned line drawings should be digitized with a minimum resolution of 800 dpi relative to the final figure size. For digital halftones, 300 dpi is usually sufficient.

–         Color illustrations: Store color illustrations as RGB (8 bits per channel) in TIFF format.

–         Vector graphics: Fonts used in the vector graphics must be included. Please do not draw with hairlines. The minimum line width is 0.2 mm (i.e., 0.567 pt) relative to the final size.

Data formats

Save your file in two formats:

1. Text: RTF (Rich Text Format) or Microsoft Word compatible formats

Figures: EPS or TIFF.

1. PDF (a single PDF file including text, tables and figures). Make sure that all fonts are embedded. Name (one file for each figure) should include the figure number. Figure legends should be included in the text and not in the figure file.

• General information on data delivery Please send a zip file (text and illustrations as separate files) to: aquasains@yahoo.com
  or
  aquasains@gmail.com

Please always supply the following information with your data: journal title, operating system, word processing program, drawing program, image processing program, compression program.

The file name should be memorable (e.g., author name), have no more than 8 characters, and include no accents or special symbols. Use only the extensions that the program assigns automatically.

(b) accepted by the journal’s Editor(s)
ESM may consist of
(1) information that cannot be printed: animations, video clips, sound recordings
(2) information that is more convenient in electronic form: sequences, spectral data, etc.
(3) large original data that relate to the paper, e.g. additional tables, illustrations (color and black & white), etc.
After acceptance by the journal’s Editor(s) ESM will be published as received from the author in the online version only. Reference will be given in the printed version.

Proofreading
Authors should make their proof corrections on a printout of the pdf file supplied, checking that the text is complete and that all figures and tables are included. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article. The author is entitled to formal corrections only. Substantial changes in content, e.g. new results, corrected values, title and authorship are not allowed without the approval of the responsible editor. In such a case please contact the Editor-in-Chief before returning the proofs to the publisher.
