Submission
Process
General
Guidelines for Authors
Subdivision - numbered sections
Divide your article into clearly defined
and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2,
...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this
numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'.
Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its
own separate line.
Introduction
State the objectives of the work and
provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a
summary of the results.
Material and methods
Provide sufficient detail to allow the
work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a
reference: only relevant modifications should be described.
Theory/calculation
A Theory section should extend, not
repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction
and lay the foundation for further work. In contrast, a Calculation section
represents a practical development from a theoretical basis.
Results
Results should be clear and concise.
Discussion
This should explore the significance of
the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion
section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of
published literature.
Conclusions
The main conclusions of the study may be
presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a
subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.
