Supporting Information

During the peer-review process, Supporting Information is provided to reviewers (for Review Only) and is subsequently made available to readers upon publication. It is necessary to submit the Supporting Information concurrently with the manuscript.

If the manuscript includes supporting information files for publication, these files will be available to readers at no cost. For each file, a concise and non-sentence description of its actual contents, along with the file type extension, is required. This description should be labeled as Supporting Information and positioned before the Acknowledgement and Reference sections. The following examples illustrate sufficient and insufficient descriptions:

Examples of sufficient descriptions: "Supporting Information: Social networking applications for promoting the Gulf stock markets (PDF)" or "Additional details on social networking strategies, methods, and techniques (doc)".

Examples of insufficient descriptions: "Supporting Information: Figures H1-H3" or "Additional figs. as explained in the main paragraph".

If supporting information is included exclusively for review purposes, please include copies of unpublished or in-press references. These files are exclusively accessible to editors and reviewers.
