Main text

The manuscript should be written clearly and concisely. The author is responsible for providing the correct nomenclature, which must be consistent and unambiguous. The text should be arranged in the following order: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions.

Each section should be clearly marked with a separate, numbered heading and may be numbered down to the third order. The introduction should be a brief overview of the topic. The body of the text should describe the topic in an orderly manner, using subheadings to divide the various sections. A few summary paragraphs should conclude the paper.

Acknowledgments

Place acknowledgments, including information on grants received, before the references, in a separate section, and not as a footnote on the title page.

References

Responsibility for the accuracy of bibliographic citations lies entirely with the authors. Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as “in press” implies that the item has been accepted for publication.References (indicated by numbers in square brackets) should be cited in consecutive order of their appearance in the text. The complete references must be reproduced at the end of the manuscript.

List names of all the authors. References should be typed in the following style:

Tables, Figures and Schemes

Tables, Figures and Schemes are to be typed, in this order, on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. Ensure that each illustration or table has a caption attached, which should comprise a brief title and a description. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum, but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.

Tables should be on separate sheets, one table per sheet, and should bear a short descriptive title. Number tables consecutively, in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules and shading. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Figures and Schemes should be cited and consecutively numbered with Arabic numerals, according to their order of appearance in the main text. Mark the appropriate position of a figure/scheme in the text. Graphics and schemes are suitable for mention as figures. Ensure that high-resolution graphics files are provided, even if the graphic appears as part of your normal word-processed text file.

Contributions are accepted on the understanding that the authors have obtained the necessary authority for publication. Submission of multi-authored manuscripts implies the consent of each of the authors. The Publisher will assume that the senior or corresponding author has specifically obtained the approval of all other co-authors to submit the article to this journal.
