Metrics units and Celsius temperatures should be used, and standard abbreviations should be used for all measurements (i.e cm for centimeters, g for grams, kg for kilograms, etc). Heading levels should be clearly indicated. We suggest the following format: 1. Main heading, 1.1. Subheading, and 1.1.1. Sub-subheading (maximum 3 subheading). The main text should be divided into following sections:

  • Background should explain the rationale of the study through a short review of the relevant literature and state the purpose of the research.

  • References should be cited in numerical order, in Vancouver style. The numbers should be in superscript. Citations of personal communications and unpublished data should be avoided unless they are necessary. When used, such citations should appear in the text only, e.g. ‘(E.D.
