INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTRIBUTORS
Submission of Manuscript
1. Send 4 copies of your paper written in English to the below address.
The paper shall be subjected to a full review procedure and a decision
whether to accept the paper will be taken by the Editor based on the

4. After the manuscript has been accepted for publication, i.e., after
referee-recommended revisions are complete, the author will not be
permitted to make any new additions to the manuscript.
5. Attention: before publication the galley proof is always sent to the
author for corrections. Thus, it is solely the author's responsibility
for any typographical mistakes which occur in their article as it appears
in the journal. Only those mistakes/ omissions which occur due to some
negligence on our part during the final printing will be reprinted in a
Corrections section of a later issue. However, this does not include
those errors left unnoticed by the author on the galley proofs.

1. The first page must contain the English title of the paper, author(s)
names and affiliations/addresses in English, abstract in English (not more
than 300 words), complete mailing address, telephone number, e-mail
address if there is one, and acknowledgement of financial or other
support.
2. Manuscripts should be type-written using a font style and size which is
quite legible, double-spaced throughout with ample margins, and single
sided on white A4 standard paper.
3. Provide an introduction that includes a statement of the purpose and
the contribution of the paper comparing it to the existing results in the
literature.
4. If appropriate, indicate advantages, limitations, and possible
applications of your contribution in a conclusion section.
5. References should be numbered consecutively in square brackets [1] in
the paper and listed in the order of appearance in a separate
bibliography at the end of the manuscript.
Instructions for Figures and Tables:

2. The proper position of each table and figure must be clearly indicated
in the paper.
3. All tables and figures must have a number (Table 1, Figure 1) and a
caption or legend. If there is only one table or figure simply label it
"Table" or "Figure".
4. All tables and figures must be numbered consecutively throughout the
paper.
5. All captions and legends must also be double-space typed on a separate
sheet and labeled according to which table or figure they belong.
6. Dimensions of tables and figures must not exceed 16x20 cm and should be

Computer Disk:
If you are able to initially prepare your manuscript in a LATEX file
including the figures translated into the picture environment of LATEX or
Encapsulated PostScript format (EPS), we advise that you do so. Then,
only if and after your manuscript is accepted for publication, we will ask
you to submit a revised disk copy of your manuscript which will enable us
to more efficiently and accurately prepare proofs. (This is not a
requirement but is highly encouraged.)THE LATEX STYLE FILE CAN BE OBTAINED
FROM the >ftp server "ozelsayi.metu.edu.tr",
with "userid: tjeecs,
