In case the research is written in Arabic, the list of sources must be uploaded in a separate file that is also written in Arabic.
  • Single spacing is recommended for the research, with a minimum of ten pages and a maximum of thirty pages.
  • Fonts should be bold for the main title and subheadings only, with regular font for the rest of the text. All paragraphs should be written in black font without the use of underlining or any unusual symbols.
