- Manuscripts should be written in English and include a 100-300 word abstract.
- Make sure all the characters in the text, tables, figure legends, footnotes and references are in a single type face and point size – such as 12 pt Times New Roman. Once a manuscript is accepted, a copy editor will decide the type face and size of the different elements of the article.
