Title
The title should be a brief phrase describing the contents of the paper. The Title Page should include the authors’ full names and affiliations, the name of the corresponding author along with mobile and E-mail information. Present addresses of authors should appear as a footnote.
Abstract
The abstract should be informative and completely self-explanatory, briefly present the topic, state the scope of the experiments, indicate significant data, and point out major findings and conclusions. The Abstract should be 100 to 150 words in length. Complete sentences, active verbs, and the third person should be used, and the abstract should be written in the past tense. Standard nomenclature should be used and abbreviations should be avoided. Following the abstract, about 3 to 5 key words that will provide indexing references should be listed.
Introduction
The introduction should provide a clear statement of the problem, the relevant literature on the subject, and the proposed approach or solution. It should be understandable to colleagues from a broad range of scientific disciplines.
Materials and Methods
It should be complete enough to allow experiments to be reproduced. However, only truly new procedures should be described in detail; previously published procedures should be cited, and important modifications of published procedures should be mentioned briefly. Capitalize trade names and include the manufacturer’s name and address. Sub-headings should be used. Methods in general use need not be described in detail.
Results
Results should be presented with clarity and precision. The results should be written in the past tense when describing findings in the authors’ experiments. Previously published findings should be written in the present tense. Discussion, speculation and detailed interpretation of data should not be included in the Results but should be put into the Discussion section.
Discussion
The discussion should interpret the findings in view of the results obtained in this and in past studies on this topic. State the conclusions in a few sentences at the end of the paper. The Results and Discussion sections can include sub-headings, and when appropriate, both sections can be combined.
Tables and Figures
Tables should be minimal, double-spaced, and self-explanatory. Figures must be high-resolution and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Figure legends should be provided on a separate sheet.
References
References must be listed alphabetically and follow the standard format:
