The Hebrew font to be used is David (12-point) and the English font is Times New Roman (12-point).

Use full justification throughout the text. Line spacing should be 1.5. Use italics, not boldface or underlining, for emphasized words in English.

Foreign words should also be italicized and followed by a translation in brackets and single quotation marks.

Use double quotation marks for regular quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations. Quotations that comprise more than 40 words should appear as separate indented paragraphs (1 centimeter on each side).

Notes should be kept to a minimum and placed at the bottom of the page. They should be written in a 10-point font, single-spaced, and fully justified.

Tables and figures must be numbered and embedded within the text.

References should be listed alphabetically at the end of the paper. In-text references should be enclosed in parentheses and contain surname/s of author(s) and publication year followed by a colon and page numbers if there is a quotation from the book/article. Multiple in-text references should appear in alphabetical order. Do not use footnotes for bibliographical references. The reference list must include all works cited in the text, and only those.

When the author cites his or her own publications, this should be done anonymously. Therefore, the source should be presented in the article in the following manner: (Aaaa, 2002). This publication will be presented at the beginning of the bibliographical list follows: Aaaa, 2002. Use the ampersand symbol (&) to indicate two or more authors in both in-text and bibliographical references. Do not use the word and. Leave a space between all initials of authors' names, e.g., J. C. Platt.
