EDITORIAL POLICY

Due to increasing flux of manuscripts we will no longer be able to examine and correct manuscripts for language and style. All manuscripts are expected to be prepared and submitted by from A to Z strictly following the APA style and be free from language errors. Manuscripts that are fully or partially not prepared according to the APA style or do not reflect an expert use of the English language, except for minor typos and errors, will not be considered for publication and will not be sent to any of the journal reviewers for evaluation. Moreover, due to increasing work load of handling incoming manuscripts we may not be able to inform in reasonable time the author(s) about the rejection due to style and/or language and hence unintentional delays maybe seen. In such a case EURASIA does not assume any responsibility. It is completely the authors' responsibility to comply with the rules and check for any errors. Thus, you are advised and encouraged to take all necessary actions before you submit your manuscripts to EURASIA.

EURASIA publishes only original scholarly work. We do not accept and will not publish manuscripts which are indeed a derivative of the same author(s)' previous work. Please do not submit such manuscripts simultaneously or seperately to EURASIA with another journal. In such cases the responsibility solely rests with the author(s).

HOW TO PREPARE MANUSCRIPTS

Figures and tables should have their positions clearly marked and be provided on separate sheets that can be detached from the main text.

Manuscript Presentation
The journal's language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. A manuscripts is on the average about 12-14 journal pages although shorter ones are more desired. However this should not impose a definite page limit on manuscripts. Whenever necessary and inevitable longer manuscripts will be allowed and published in the journal. All manuscripts should strictly follow the latest version of the APA manuscript style.

Layout
General Principles
Papers should be prepared with Microsoft Word in .doc or .rtf file format. Format paragraph text using the 'Normal' style in the styles menu. This puts a space before each paragraph so that a blank line is not required to separate paragraphs and automatically sets the text to single line, full justified, 12 pt Times New Roman Font layout Format the Title of the paper using the 'Title' style in the styles menu, use the 'Abstract' style for the abstract and the 'Quotation' style for paragraph quotes.

Quotations
Quotations less than three lines long should be incorporated into the text using double quotation marks. For longer quotations (more than three lines or two sentences), use 'Quotation' style in the styles menu.

Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:

running head (shortened title)

title

author(s)

affiliation(s)

full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number, e-mail address and related subject area

second pages,

Abstract
Please provide a short abstract of 100 to 250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.

Key Words
Please provide 4 to 6 keywords or short phrases in alphabetical order.

Section Headings
First-, second-, third-, and fourth-order headings should be clearly distinguishable.

Appendices
Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Notes and References.

Notes
Please use endnotes rather than footnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text and listed at the end of the article before the References. A source reference note should be indicated by means of an asterisk after the title. This note should be placed at the bottom of the first page.

Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the References.

References
References should follow the American Psychological Association (APA) (Fifth Edition) style in alphabetical order.

Figures
All photographs, graphs and diagrams should be referred to as a Figure and they should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.). Multi-part figures ought to be labeled with lower case letters (a, b, etc.). Please insert keys and scale bars directly in the figures. Relatively small text and great variation in text sizes within figures should be avoided as figures are often reduced in size. Figures may be sized to fit approximately within the column(s) of the journal. Provide a detailed legend (without abbreviations) to each figure, refer to the figure in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Please place the legends in the manuscript after the references.

Tables
Each table should be numbered consecutively. In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table. Please provide a caption (without abbreviations) to each table, refer to the table in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Finally, please place the tables after the figure legends in the manuscript.

Proofs
Proofs will be sent to the corresponding author. One corrected proof, together with the original, edited manuscript, should be returned to the Publisher within three days of receipt by e-mail (pdf version).

Page Charges and Color Figures
No page charges are levied on authors or their institutions except for color pages.
