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.

REFERENCES

The following examples illustrate the required style for references:

1. Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;

3. Three or more authors: first author's name followed by "et al." and the year of publication.

General Guidelines for Authors

• Papers should be written in clear English and should not include any jargon that is not adequately explained.

• Use examples or analogies to make your meaning clear. 
• If you have to use mathematical expressions, keep them simple. Anything that is at all complex should be placed in an appendix. Even then, avoid excessive subscripts and other complexities.
• Avoid using too many unfamiliar words. Give definitions for any that you have to use.
• Do not allow too many words to come between the subject and the verb in a entence.
• Place new and unfamiliar information at the end of sentences, not at the beginning.
• Use words or phrases from the preceding sentence to link the two together. Place these at the beginning of the sentence.
• Tables & figures should be supplied on separate pages and at the end of the main text, not embedded within the text.  

References

All references to books, monographic articles and statistical sources should be identified at the appropriate point in the text by the last name of author, year of publication and pagination where appropriate, all within parentheses: (Smith 1974).
