Guidelines for preparation of manuscript
Style Should be written in English, using English standard spelling and conventions following the CBE style manual (The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers, Sixth Edition, 1994, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK) For Biochemical and Bacterial terminology follow the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) recommendations Genotypes must be italicized (underline in hard copy); phenotypes should not. Units of measurement and abbreviations Units of measurement should be in Système International (SI) units and those recommended by the IUPAC should be used wherever possible. Standard units of measurements and chemical symbols of elements may be used without definition in the body of the paper. Abbreviations should be given in brackets after their first mention in the text, and used thereafter. For centrifugation rates give g values rather than rpm. Format Double spacing on one side of the paper only. Number each page top right. Number lines. Avoid footnotes. Avoid underlining. Differentiate clearly letters O, l and numbers 0, 1. Ensure unusual symbols are clearly written.
Title Should not exceed 25 words and should be specific and informative. Running title Should not exceed 50 characters. Authors Give initials and family name of all authors. For more than 10 authors the editors reserve the right to allocate additional authors to a study group, details of which will be given in a footnote. Address The department, institution, city and country should be given with postal code for each author. An e-mail address will be published for the corresponding author, who should be clearly identified. Current addresses should be provided for all authors. Abstract The abstract should be a single paragraph of not more than 200 words which clearly summarizes the findings of the manuscript. Note that online abstracts are published for viewing in isolation to the main body of the manuscript and should be self-explanatory.The following structured headings should be used to divide the text of abstracts: BACKGROUND, METHODS, RESULTS and CONCLUSIONS. Clinical papers should clearly describe within the BACKGROUND section the background and objective of the study and within the METHODS section the design, setting, patients, interventions and main outcome measures should be described. Where multiple methodologies have been used, these and the results obtained can be presented in sequence in a combined METHODS AND RESULTS section. Citations should not appear in the abstract. A structured abstract format is not applicable to Debates, Opinions and Case reports.
Key words Up to five key words must be supplied by the author. These should appear in alphabetical order separated by a slash. The key words, together with the title and abstract, are used for online searches. They should therefore be specific and relevant to the paper. Introduction Materials and methods The names, town and country of origin of all suppliers should be included. Note the requirement for ethical approval from all studies involving humans and animals. Reference list Please use the following style. Note that correct punctuation and journal abbreviations must be used in order to run the search programs used to edit the manuscript. Incorrectly typed references take a lot of time to correct, for which we reserve the right to charge. Up to 10 authors should be included, after which et al. should be used.
