Information For Authors
We are pleased to receive your submissions for publication in the LJST. At the same time, we would like to draw your attention to the following notes:
- Your manuscript will undergo an electronic check for plagiarism detection and will only be processed and evaluated if the plagiarism rate is less than 20% of the paper's text volume.
- Your paper must strictly adhere to the writing style followed by the journal, whether it is the text or the reference list. This is a vital and very important matter.(please see the example of manuscript writing and Harvard referencing guide)
- You will find a sample for writing the article according to the journal's requirements, as well as the Harvard guide for writing references. You can refer to this guide and follow it step by step, whether big or small, so that the paper is not returned to you for correction over and over again.
- The font type must be Cambria, and the lines should be single-spaced with no blank lines between paragraphs.
- Try (whenever possible) to make the width of the illustrations, tables, or figures equal to 9 centimeters.
- Tables and illustrations should be placed in their designated spots on the paper, not at the end of the paper, except for the appendices.
- Do not attempt any editing or embellishment in an effort to finalize the article. This complicates matters when we handle the paper. The journal's technical office will take care of finalizing the paper, and it will be presented to you at the end for your opinion.
- Do not change the size of the drawings or shapes to make them look stretched either horizontally or vertically.
- We do not accept drawings or shapes of poor or medium quality; high-quality drawings and shapes should be sought. The box containing the drawing should not be large while the drawing itself is small. This diminishes the quality of the drawing or shape when its size is reduced as required by the editing and final output process.
- Do not use any extra space between words. The text should not be inside boxes or tables; it should be plain text.

- Attached you will find a sample writing template. Please remember that any deviation from the writing style will significantly delay the publication of the paper by having it returned to you multiple times.
