Manuscript page limit
There is no restriction
on the number of pages, but brevity of papers is
greatly encouraged. The length of a paper should be
commensurate with the scientific information being
reported. In particular, the introductory material
should be limited to a few paragraphs and results
presented in figures should not be repeated in
tables.
Manuscripts
Manuscripts should be written in
English and it is the responsibility of each author
to provide a grammatically correct manuscript for
review. Papers may not be sent out for review and
may be rejected if they are poorly written in
English. Manuscripts should have wide margins. The
Abstract should be single-spaced but the rest of the
manuscript should use double spacing throughout.
Every page of the manuscript, including the title
page, references, tables, etc. should be numbered.
Manuscripts in general should be organized in the
following order:
|
| - |
Title (should be clear, descriptive and not too
long) |
| - |
Name(s) of author(s) |
| - |
Complete postal address(es) |
| - |
Full telephone number, fax number and e-mail
address of the corresponding author |
| - |
Abstract: The abstract should be clear,
descriptive and not longer than 400 words |
| - |
Key words (indexing terms): 3-6 items |
| - |
Introduction |
| - |
Material studied, area descriptions, methods,
techniques, quality assurance/quality control
program, etc. |
| - |
Results and Discussion |
| - |
Conclusion |
| - |
Acknowledgements and any additional information,
research grants, etc. |
| - |
References |
| - |
Tables |
| - |
Figure captions |
|
|
All the sections and
subsections of the manuscript must be numbered.
Prospective authors are requested to follow the most
recent published volume of the Journal for the
general style of presentation.
The Editorial Board reserves the privilege of
returning to the author for revision manuscripts and
illustrations which are not in the form as given in
this instruction.
|
|
Tables
Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic
numerals in order of appearance in the text. Type
each table double-spaced on a separate page with a
short descriptive title typed directly above and
with essential footnotes below.
Illustrations
All illustrations (line drawings and photographs)
should accompany the submitted manuscript but should
not be included within the text. Number figures
consecutively with Arabic numerals. Avoid colored
figures and photographs since the Journal is
currently published in black and white. Because of
technical complications which can arise by
converting color figures to 'grey scale', please
submit in addition usable black and white prints
corresponding to the color illustrations, if any.

"This is in agreement with results obtained
later (Kramer, 1994)".

If
reference is made in the text to a publication
written by more than two authors, the name of
the first author should be used followed by "et
