Manuscripts submitted to the Journal should be Word-processed on one side of A4 paper, double spaced with one inch margins round the text. The recommended font is Times New Roman size 12. All accepted manuscript files are edited in Microsoft Word. Authors should, therefore, compose their manuscripts in MS Word. Authors should avoid using word processing features such as automated bulleting and numbering, head and subhead formatting or internal linking.
The typical sequence for a manuscript is title, abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, conclusions, acknowledgements, references. However, some manuscripts may have a theory section, a few may have no materials and methods, or the results and discussion section may be combined. If an appendix is needed, it should come before the references.
The Journal uses a double-blind review in which the reviewers do not know the author names and the authors do not know the reviewer names. Because of this, authors should prepare the manuscript with no author by-line information such as names, addresses, affiliations, acknowledgments, etc. These should be submitted on a separate page to be added after the manuscript has been accepted. Tables and figures should be labelled with reference to the manuscript’s title and not the author names. Any identification in headers or footers should be similarly anonymous.
