Types of research:
1-Original research:
It should include the following:
Title:
Be concise and informative. Titles are often used in information retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible. If you choose to have a subtitle, it should be italicized and centered directly below the main title.
Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is required (maximum length of 250 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results, and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. The abstract must include background, aim, methods (design, setting, sampling, and tools), results, conclusion and recommendation. References should therefore be avoided, but, if essential, they must be cited in full in the abstract, without relying on the reference list.
Keywords
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 8 keywords, it derived from the research title, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (e.g., “and,” “of”). Be sparing with abbreviations and should be in alphabetical.
Manuscripts should be set out as follows:
The text: This should be arranged in the following orders:
1. Introduction.
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Prior work based on the same project and/or data must be referenced, and the unique contribution of the new submission must be stated explicitly.
2. Significant of study
3. Aim of study.
4. Research question/research hypothesis
5. Materials (or patients) and method.
6. Pilot study.
7. Ethical consideration.
Before starting the study, ethical approval was obtained from the scientific research ethical committee which will be uploaded as a supplementary file
8. Statistical analysis.
9. Results (legends to figures): present the results in logical sequence in the text, tables, and illustration. Do not repeat in the text all the data in the tables or illustrations after all Tables /Figures are illustrated then the informative description will be done for them. Legends should be typed double-spaced on a separate sheet and numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals according to the order of their citation in the text Legends should be brief and specific.
Tables
Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Tables can be placed either next to the relevant text in the article, or on separate page(s) at the end. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using vertical rules and shading in table cells.
Table format
Tables will vary in size and structure depending on the data you’re presenting, but APA7 gives some general guidelines for their design. To correctly format an APA7 table, follow these rules:
Table number in bold above the table.
Brief title, in italics and title case, below the table number.
Clear, concise labels for column and row headings.
Numbers consistently formatted (e.g., with the same number of decimal places).
Any relevant notes are below the table.
Figure format
Any images used within your text are called figures. Figures include data visualization graphics—e.g. graph, diagrams, flowcharts—as well as things like photographs and artworks. To correctly format an APA figure, follow these rules:
Brief title, in italics and title case, under the figure.
If necessary, clear labels and legends are integrated into the image.
Any relevant notes below the figure.
10. Discussion: Emphasizes the new and important aspects of the study and the conclusion that follows from them relates the observations to other relevant studies.
It should include the following:
1- Statements of the principle findings
2- Strengths and weakness of the study in relation to other studies
3- Authors points of view
11. Conclusions & Recommendations: A conclusion may review the main Points of the paper followed by recommendations

This journal operates a double anonymized review process. All contributions will be initially assessed by the editor for suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable are then typically sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. Editors are not involved in decisions about papers that they have written themselves or have been written by family members or colleagues or which relate to products or services in which the editor has an interest. Any such submission is subject to all the journal's usual procedures, with peer review handled independently of the relevant editor and their research groups.
Manuscripts are subject to editorial modification to bring them into the style of this journal. Each article is sent to a consultant to assess the scientific standard of the paper considering its acceptance to publication.
Only papers which conform to the journal style are accepted for publication. Failure to submit the manuscript in the journal style may lead to unnecessary delay in publication.
If, after peer review, your manuscript is accepted for publication, a one-time article processing charge (APC) is payable. This APC covers the cost of publication and ensures that your article will be freely available online in perpetuity under a Creative Commons license.
The article processing charge (APC) for this journal is currently:
