Page 1 should contain the article title, author(s), and affiliation(s); at the bottom of the page type a short running head title not exceeding 45 characters (including spaces), and the name and complete mailing address (including zip code) of the person to whom proofs should be sent. Page 2 should contain a short abstract, approximately 100 to 150 words in length. After the abstract a list of up to 5 key words that will be useful for indexing or searching should be included. Headings The organisation of the paper must be clearly indicated by appropriate headings and subheadings. A Conclusions section should clearly summarise the range of applicability of the methodology described in the article. References References should follow the Vancouver style; that is, they should be cited in the text by consecutive Arabic numbers in square brackets and listed at the end of the paper in numerical order. 1.

Unpublished observations and personal communications should be cited in the text as such, and should not be included in the reference list. Figures Figures should be in a finished form suitable for publication. Number figures consecutively with Arabic numerals, and indicate the top and the authors on the back of each figure. Lettering on drawings should be professional quality or generated by high-resolution computer graphics (preferably saved as .tif, .jpeg, or .eps files) and must be large enough to withstand appropriate reduction for publication. All figures, including photographs, should be submitted as electronic files. Legends are to be typed together on a separate sheet. 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. Authors should submit complex tables as camera-ready copy. Equations Number equations consecutively, with the number placed in parentheses to the extreme right of the equation. Refer to equations as Eq. (3) or simply (3) except at the beginning of a sentence, when the word Equation should be spelled out. Punctuate equations to conform to their place in the syntax of the sentence. | ||
