Symbols should be listed alphabetically in the following order:
Latin symbols;
Greek symbols; and
Subscripts and superscripts.
Main Text
The manuscript should begin with an Introduction and conclude with a Conclusion.
Depending on the nature of the study, the main text may include sections such as:
Theoretical Background;
Experimental Setup;
Experimental Procedure;
Numerical or Computational Method;
Solution Method;
Results;
Validation of Results;
Discussion; and
Conclusion.
All sections and all pages of the manuscript should be numbered consecutively.
References
References must be prepared according to the Vancouver referencing style.
References should be cited in the text using Arabic numerals enclosed in parentheses, placed at the end of the sentence or immediately after the name of the cited author.
When citing multiple references simultaneously, reference numbers should be listed in ascending numerical order and separated by commas (e.g., (2, 5, 7–9)).
Consecutive references should be indicated using a hyphen (e.g., (12–15)).
References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they first appear in the text.
Only references cited in the manuscript should be included in the reference list.

Glossary
A glossary should be provided at the end of the manuscript.
Glossary entries should appear in the same order in which the corresponding Persian terms first appear in the main text.
Each English term should be preceded by the superscript number assigned to its Persian equivalent in the manuscript.
For example, if the eighth superscripted technical term appearing in the manuscript is "برآمدگی⁸", the glossary entry should be written as:
8. bulging
Except for proper nouns, all English glossary terms should begin with a lowercase letter.
D. Manuscript Preparation
General Requirements
Manuscripts must be submitted in Microsoft Word (.docx) format.
All components of the manuscript, including equations, tables, and figures, must be fully editable.
Authors are encouraged to use standard Persian terminology whenever possible. Persian equivalents of technical terms may be obtained from the Vajehyar terminology database.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that the manuscript has been carefully proofread for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and correct use of spacing and half-spacing.
Footnotes are not permitted anywhere in the manuscript.
In the main text, numbers zero through nine should be written in words, whereas 10 and above should be written as numerals.
All numbers appearing in the text, tables, and figures must be written using Persian numerals. Decimal numbers should be separated by a forward slash (/).
Abbreviations and acronyms should be defined in the Glossary, rather than in parentheses within the text. The only exception is the chemical formula of compounds, which may appear in parentheses after their names (e.g., Silver nitrate (AgNO₃)).
English spellings should not appear in any part of the Persian manuscript. Personal names (e.g., authors cited in the text) should also be written in Persian. When no widely accepted Persian equivalent exists for a technical term, its Persian transliteration may be used in the text, while its English spelling should be provided in the Glossary. English spellings of personal names are not required in the Glossary.
All quantities and measurements must be expressed in the International System of Units (SI). Where appropriate, equivalent values in non-SI units may be given in parentheses.
Manuscript Formatting
The main text should be prepared in a single-column format with no special page layout.
Persian text should be typed in B Lotus, 12 pt, and English text in Times New Roman, 10 pt.
Persian numerals should be used throughout the manuscript.
Main section headings should be formatted in B Lotus Bold, 14 pt.
Subheadings should be formatted in B Lotus Bold, 12 pt and numbered to a maximum of two hierarchical levels.
Equations
All equations must be clearly typeset using editable equation editors.
Equations should be numbered consecutively, beginning with (1).
Equation numbers should appear in parentheses and be aligned with the right margin.
The main equation font should be Times New Roman, 10 pt, while superscripts and subscripts should be Times New Roman, 8 pt.
Every symbol and parameter used in an equation should be defined immediately after its first occurrence.
Tables
Tables should be prepared using appropriate rows and columns.
All tables must be numbered consecutively.
Table titles should be placed above the table.
Decimal places within each column should be presented consistently.
Figures
Figures include graphs, charts, drawings, photographs, and other illustrations.
Text and symbols within figures should remain clearly legible after a 50% reduction in size for publication.
Data points on graphs should be identified using standard symbols such as ○, ◊, and □.
Grid lines should be avoided whenever possible.
The recommended line thickness for curves is 0.2 mm.
Related photographs should be arranged side by side with approximately 2 mm spacing.
Figures should not be enclosed within borders.
All photographs and graphics must be of high quality, with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
Multi-part figures should be submitted as a single figure rather than separate files.
Text boxes should not be used within figures.
Labels such as (a), (b), and (c) should be placed at the upper-right corner of each subfigure.
Microsoft Word Formatting
Authors should avoid using section breaks or other advanced formatting features in the Microsoft Word file unless absolutely necessary.
