Text:

Introduction:

The introduction should set the tone of the paper by providing the objectives of the study and an adequate background. The introduction should be general enough to attract a reader's attention from a broad range of scientific disciplines.

Materials and Methods:

This section should provide a complete overview of the design of the study. Detailed descriptions of materials or participants, comparisons, interventions, experiments and types of analysis should be mentioned. However, only new procedures should be described in detail; previously published procedures should be cited and important modifications of published procedures should be mentioned briefly. Capitalize trade names and include the manufacturer's name and address.

Results:

The results section should provide complete details of the experiment that are required to support the conclusion of the study. The results should be written in the past tense when describing findings in the author's experiments. Previously published findings should be written in the present tense. Results and discussion may be combined or in a separate section. Speculation and detailed interpretation of data should not be included in the results but should be put into the discussion section.

Acknowledgement:

This section includes acknowledgment of people, grant details, funds, etc.

References:

Multiple citations within a single set of brackets should be separated by commas. When there are three or more sequential citations, they should be given as a range. Example: “... aromatic acids have antioxidant and antibacterial properties in the literature data [22-24]”. Make sure the parts of the manuscript are in the correct order for the relevant journal before ordering the citations.

All references will be linked electronically as much as possible to the papers they cite, proper formatting of the references is crucial. Please use the following style for the reference list:

Conferences:

[1] Hofmann T (1999) The Cluster-Abstraction Model: unsupervised learning of topic hierarchies from text data. Proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence.

Tables:

These should be used at a minimum and designed as simple as possible. Tables are to be typed double-spaced throughout, including headings and footnotes. Each table should include in manuscript and numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals. Tables should be self-explanatory without reference to the text.  The same data should not be presented in both table and graph form or repeated in the text. Cells can be copied from an Excel spreadsheet and pasted into a word document (manuscript file), but Excel files should not be embedded as objects.

Figures:

The preferred file formats for photographic images are JPEG format.

 

All images must be at or above intended display size, with the following image resolutions: Line Art 800 dpi, Combination (Line Art + Halftone) 600 dpi, Halftone 300 dpi. Image files also must be cropped as close to the actual image as possible.

Use Arabic numerals to designate figures and upper case letters for their parts (Figure 1). Begin each legend with a title and include sufficient description so that the figure is understandable without reading the text of the manuscript. Information given in legends should not be repeated in the text.

Note: Figure captions and tables should be at the end of the manuscript.
