- Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgement (if needed),

References:

- The number of scientific sources used in the paper should not be more than 20. This issue will be considered in the acceptance of the article.

- the number of references used should be inserted in numerical order next to the relevant text in parentheses. The parentheses in the text should be typed in Persian font except for the end sources of the article
