PREPARATION

Manuscripts should be between 4500 and 8000 words in length (including references, tables and figures). Only manuscripts with various studies can go beyond this length.

• Use of word-processing software
It is important that the file is saved in the native format of the word-processor used. The text should be in single-column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible.

• Article structure
Manuscripts should be prepared according to APA, 6th ed., except for the additional requirement of numbering the sections, as described below.

• Subdivision - numbered sections
Divide your article into obviously defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is excluded in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to "the text". Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should perform on its own dispersed line.

• Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, evading a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.

• Material and Methods

In the Methods section of a research article, writers give an account of how they carried out their research. The Methods section should be clear and detailed enough for another experienced person to repeat the research and reproduce the results.

• Results
The standard approach to this section of a research article is to present and describe the results in a systematic and detailed way. When reporting qualitative results, the researcher will highlight and comment on the themes that emerge from the analysis. These comments will often be illustrated with excerpts from the raw data.

• Discussion
This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.

• Conclusions
The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.

• Appendices
If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq. (B.1) and so on. Similarly for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.
