Guide to editing articles

1- The articles must have scientific-research criteria such as theorizing, scientific criticism, initiative and innovation and use of reliable sources.

2- The editorial board of the journal is free in summarizing, correcting, scientific and literary editing of the article.

3- The article has not been previously published in other publications and has not been sent to another magazine at the same time.

4- The articles should be typed in the WORD environment with DOCX extension (maximum 7500 words) and with B lotus font, through the article submission system to the address http://jtc.isca.ac.ir.

5- Persian and Latin abstract (maximum 150 words) and keywords of the article (minimum 3 and maximum 8 words) should be attached to the article.

6- It is mandatory to follow the grammar rules, writing rules and punctuation marks in writing the article.

7- Citation methods should be in context between parentheses as follows:

• Qur'an: Verses (along with translation) are inserted in quotation marks, and then the name of the chapter and the number of the verse (in parentheses) are given.  Example:  "Alhamdu lillah Rabbi al-Alamin; Praise belongs to God, who is the Lord of the worlds" (Hamd: 1).
• Book:  (author's last name, year of publication, volume number: page number, example: Persian source with alternate pages (Mothari, 1360, Vol. 1: pp. 200-220) and with different pages (Amini, 1387, Vol. 1: pp. 200 and 207) .

Note:  Inserting (letter  q ) is necessary for lunar date.

English source with alternate pages (Kant, 1788: p.224-288) and with different pages (Kant, 1788: pp.44, 288).

• Article:  (last name, publication year: page number. Example: Yasri, 2015: p.75).

Note:

- If more than one work of the same author is used in the article, if they share the time of publication, after the year of publication, they should be distinguished from each other by mentioning alphabetical letters in quotation marks. For example: (Motahari, 1360, "A", p. 200) or (Motahari, 1360, "B", p. 145).

- If there are more than three authors of a work   , only one person's last name appears and the word "others" refers to the other authors.

- If two works of the same author are referred to without a space, instead of repeating the author's name, the word "homo" is used, and instead of repeating the source and year, "same" is inserted. When referring to  Latin sources  in the text, use "Ibid", "Idem" and "op.cit" instead of the word "same".

• Hadiths and Arabic texts (in Badr's pen) should be translated and included in the text.
• The Latin equivalent of non-Persian words and the pronunciation of abandoned words and terms should be included in the text and in parentheses, and other explanations should be given in the footnote;
• Honorific expressions : Use clichés instead of honorific expressions. Like: 9 instead of (p); 7 instead of (A); 4 instead of (ra) and: instead of (peace be upon him) and...

9- The list of sources and sources (bibliography) should be compiled and inserted at the end of the article in alphabetical order in the following way:

• Books:  surname, name (year of publication),  title of the book (A. Iranik ), translator, date of publication, place of publication: publisher.
• Articles:  surname, name (year of publication), "title of the article",  name of the publication  ( Iranik ), period and number of the publication, page number of the article;  Like : (pp. 25-45).
• Electronic sources:  surname, name (date of viewing the source on the site or blog), "title of the article or writing", exact Internet address or access (CD, etc.).
• Dissertations:  surname, name (year of thesis defense),  thesis title , degree, department, name of faculty, university.
