   1. Manuscripts should be endorsed by their respective program chairpersons together with the consent from the student researchers and research adviser.
   2. Authors should submit two versions of the manuscript. One file (“file not for review”) should include the names of the authors (adviser and student/s), their contact information (e-mail addresses), and current affiliation (program/area and college). The other file (“file for review”) should remove any information that would identify the authors.
