Main Text

The main text should be structured as introduction, methods, results, and discussion (IMRAD). Methods should provide clarity about how, why, and when the study was done. The methods section should include the statement of approval by local, regional, or national review board. It should also clearly describe the selection of the study's participants. Materials and equipment used should be identified in methods section by specifically giving the manufacturer's name and address in parentheses. References to all established methods must be given. All statistical methods used should be described in detail in the methods section of the manuscript. Relying solely on statistical hypothesis testing, such as p values should be avoided; instead, important information about effect size and precision of estimates should be provided. Statistical terms, abbreviations, and symbols should be defined. Computer software and version used should be specified. In the results section, data should be presented in a concise and precise way, either in figures or tables, but not the same finding in a figure and a table. Unnecessary figures and tables, as well as footnotes should be avoided and their contents incorporated into the text. In the end of the discussion, a conclusion should be stated.

Abbreviations

Use only standard abbreviations; use of nonstandard abbreviations can be confusing to readers. Avoid abbreviations in the title of the manuscript. When first mentioned, all abbreviations must be spelled out followed by the abbreviation in parenthesis, unless the abbreviation is a standard unit of measurement. Abbreviations must be spelled out when first mentioned in the abstract and main text. If a sentence begins with a number, it should be spelled out except in abstract.

Tables and Figures

Total of tables and figures are advisable not to exceed 6 in number. Tables and its title should be presented in separate sheets. Tables should be numbered in Arabic numerals with brief captions clearly indicating the purpose or content of each table. Provide a footnote to each table, identifying in alphabetical order all abbreviations used. Number tables consecutively in the order of their first citation in the text and supply a brief title for each. Do not use internal horizontal or vertical lines. Give each column a short or an abbreviated heading. Explain all nonstandard abbreviations and explanatory matters in footnotes, and for explanatory matters use the following symbols, in sequence: *, †, ‡, §, ¶, **, ††, ‡‡, §§, ¶¶, etc. Identify statistical measures of variations, such as standard deviation and standard error of the mean. Be sure that each table is cited in the text. If you use data from another published source, obtain permission and fully acknowledge that source.

Figures should be either professionally drawn or photographed, and submitted in a format (JPEG or TIFF) in the following resolutions [gray-scale or color in RGB (red, green, blue mode) at least 300 dpi (dots per inch). For x-ray films, scans, and other diagnostic images, as well as pictures of pathology specimens or photomicrographs, send sharp, glossy, black-and-white or color photographic prints, usually 127 x 173 mm (5 x 7 inches). Write the word “top” on the back of each figure at the appropriate place. Figures should be made as self-explanatory as possible; titles and detailed explanations belong in the legends-not on the figures themselves. Photomicrographs should have internal scale markers. Symbols, arrows, or letters used in photomicrographs should contrast with the background. When symbols, arrows, numbers, or letters are used to identify parts of the illustrations, identify and explain each one clearly in the legend. Explain the internal scale and identify the method of staining in photomicrographs. Photographs of potentially identifiable people must be accompanied by written permission to use the photograph.

Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively according to the order in which they have been cited in the text. If a table or figure has been published previously, acknowledge the original source and submit written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce it. Permission is required irrespective of authorship or publisher except for documents in the public domain using license of CC BY SA. Color figures are allowed in special circumstances, provided that the author is willing to cover the cost of reproduction. If the original size of the figures is too large, you can provide us lower quality figures on submission and ensure the availability of good quality figures after the acceptance of the manuscript.

Units of Measurement

For measurements use both local and S.I. (System International) units. Measurements should be abbreviated (e.g. mm, kcal, etc.) in accordance with the Style Manual for Biological Sciences and using the metric system. Measurements of length, height, weight, and volume should be reported in appropriate scientific units. Temperatures should be in degrees Celsius. Blood pressures should be in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Drug concentrations may be reported in either SI or mass units, but the alternative should be provided in parentheses where appropriate.

Supplementary File

A supplementary file is an additional document to provide further details related to the main text but is excluded due to space constraints or formatting limitations. It can include tables, figures, questionnaires, or other supporting materials that were referenced in the main text but not fully presented. The file is typically submitted along with the main manuscript and undergoes a peer-review process. The publication of a supplementary file would depend upon its importance in supporting the main text, decided solely by the Editor-in-Chief. The authors are fully responsible for ensuring the accuracy and functionality of the file.

References are advisably not to exceed 25 in number but not less than 10, and should in general be limited to the last decade, except for references to methods used: they must be cited no matter how old they are. More than 25 references may be accepted when it is necessary. References must be numbered in the order in which they are mentioned in the text.
