About the journal
Lake and Reservoir Management (LRM) publishes original, previously unpublished studies relevant to lake and reservoir management. Papers address the management of lakes and reservoirs, their watersheds and tributaries, along with the limnology and ecology needed for sound management of these systems. Case studies that advance the science of lake management or confirm important management concepts are appropriate. Papers on economic, social, regulatory and policy aspects of lake management are also welcome with appropriate supporting data. Literature syntheses and papers developing a conceptual foundation of lake and watershed ecology will be considered for publication, but are not the primary focus of this journal. Shorter notes that add to an important and documented base of knowledge or that convey important early results of long-term studies will also be considered if the contribution is significant. All submissions are subject to peer review to assure uniformity and high quality in materials published by NALMS.
Typical areas of study addressed in LRM papers include:
- Assessment of lake resources, uses, problems and threats
- Monitoring methods or programs and their implications for management
- Ecology and management of invasive species
- Evaluation of in-lake management approaches and impacts
- Evaluation of watershed-based management approaches and impacts
- Social and economic dimensions of lake management
LRM functions as a record of advances in lake management and a resource for lake managers, researchers and policy makers. Papers must demonstrate relevance to lake management, integrate findings with current knowledge, apply sound study design and data analysis, and convey an important message clearly and concisely.

Instructions to Authors
This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below.
Please note that Lake and Reservoir Management uses CrossCheck™ software to screen papers for unoriginal material. By submitting your paper to Lake and Reservoir Management you are agreeing to any necessary originality checks your paper may have to undergo during the peer review and production processes.
NALMS Style Guidelines
Please familiarize yourself with the style for Lake and Reservoir Management , the journal for the North American Lake Management Society: manuscript organization, text style, abbreviations, and references. This style guide largely follows the CSE Manual of Scientific Style and Format, 7th edition – Council of Science Editors. For text citations and references, please follow the examples provided here, which diverge slightly from CSE convention. Where additional detail is desired, see the referenced text.
NALMS Editorial PolicyLake and Reservoir Management (LRM) publishes original studies relevant to lake and reservoir management that have not been previously published. Literature syntheses and papers developing a conceptual foundation of lake and watershed ecology are considered for publication, as are notes that expand on existing information or provide preliminary results from long-term studies (see Notes, p. 20). Comments on papers that stimulate discussion can also be accommodated. All papers are subject to peer review for uniformity and high quality. Papers are published in print and online, with online versions fully searchable through common database applications. Online publication will precede print version distribution, accelerating availability.
The Journal uses the following evaluation criteria:
1. Relevance to lake management. Information presented must be relevant to lake and reservoir management or contribute knowledge on subjects of interest and educational value to some segment of the lake management community. No strong distinction between pure and applied research is intended, but the management implications of all work are to be discerned and discussed. Case histories are acceptable when they add to our management knowledge in a substantive way.
2. Integration with current knowledge. The subject and intent of the paper must be introduced within the context of current knowledge as evidenced by the citation of relevant literature. Clearly state how the paper seeks to expand current knowledge.
3. Soundness of study design and data use. Research methods and design must be technically sound and provide data that are appropriate to address the chosen topic in a balanced context without ambiguity. Data must be analyzed with appropriate statistics as warranted. Conclusions should be properly supported. Correct application of accepted principles of watershed science and aquatic ecology is expected.
4. Importance and clarity of message. Articles must provide or confirm an advance, innovation or synthesis of information in lake and/or watershed management. Results and discussion should clearly and concisely convey key messages. The applicability of findings to related fields should be elucidated.
5. Originality. The study should not have been published previously, and closely related papers should be considered explicitly in the narrative. Differences from closely related work should be clearly stated. Extensions of previously published work are acceptable when they add a new dimension to the past work.
These criteria are applied in a balanced manner during review. They are not intended to discourage contributions by nontechnical authors; NALMS continues to welcome quality articles on all aspects of lake management: technical, economic, and socio-political.
Manuscript submission
ULRM receives all manuscript submissions electronically via the Manuscript Central website located at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ULRM . Manuscript Central allows rapid submission of original and revised manuscripts and facilitates the review process and internal communication between authors, editors, and reviewers via a web-based platform. Authors should establish a free account at that url, which is called their Author Center. This requires only a name and email, although other information is helpful. Correspondence to and from authors is via that Author Center. For Manuscript Central technical support, you may contact them by e-mail or phone support via http://scholarone.com/services/support/ . If you have any other requests please contact the journal editor at kjwagner@charter.net .
The submitted manuscripts, including the references, must be double-spaced, Times New Roman font, 12-pt type with 1-inch margins formatted for 8.5 × 11 in (letter size) paper. Left justify.Provide the title, authors’ names, affiliations, and complete addresses (including 5-digit zip codes for submissions from the USA) on the first page. Please include an e-mail address for the corresponding author as an asterisked footnote. Authors should also supply an abbreviated version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces. Pages must be numbered consecutively, beginning with the title page, including tables, figures and the list of figure legends. Manuscripts should not exceed 25 pages as submitted, including abstracts, references and tables. Longer papers and monographs will be considered on a case-by-case basis: please contact the Editor before submitting papers that exceed the 25-page limit. Brevity is strongly preferred in submitted papers for print versions, but note that extensive data or additional, highly relevant material can be included as an appendix in the online version. All authors must acknowledge their approval of the submission; signatures on a cover letter accompanying the manuscript or on a separate correspondence to the Editor are acceptable.
Proofs: Edited copy will be returned to the author for approval as galley proofs of the article as it will be printed. Changes should be limited to error correction; other additions or changes to text, which should have been done earlier, will not be done at this point.
Page charges: There are no page charges for NALMS members, and authors are expected to be NALMS members. After acceptance of a paper into the formal review process, but prior to copyediting effort, nonmember authors are expected to become NALMS members.
Reprints: Reprints may be ordered directly from the printer by completing a reprint order form included with the galley proofs. Authors are provided a PDF version of the published paper. Authors for whom we receive a valid e-mail address will be provided an opportunity to purchase reprints of individual articles, or copies of the complete print issue. These authors will also be given complimentary access to their final article on Taylor & Francis Online .
Open access: Taylor & Francis Open Select provides authors or their research sponsors and funders with the option of paying a publishing fee and thereby making an article permanently available for free online access – open access – immediately on publication to anyone, anywhere, at any time. This option is made available once an article has been accepted in peer review. Full details of our Open Access program
Copyright: Published papers become the property of NALMS. Authors must sign a copyright release.

Manuscript presentation
Text format: Use standard Word format, double-spaced, Times New Roman font, 12-pt type with 1-inch margins formatted for 8.5 × 11 in (letter size) paper. Left justify.Do not embed tables and figures, put text in columns, lock references into a block that cannot be individually edited, or use specialized formatting of any kind in the submitted document. Leave a single space, not two, between a period and the next sentence. If programs that install hidden formatting are used in original manuscript development or reference lists, the manuscript should be copied to a new file at the end, without the formatting. Failure to do this may cause problems with the online conversion of the manuscript into a review file.
Line numbering: Please add a unique line number to every line of the manuscript, beginning with the title and ending with the reference list. Do not restart numbering on each page, but provide continuous, consecutive line numbers to allow easy reference during reviews.
Headings: Limit to 4 levels.Capitalize only first letter of first word and proper nouns (sentence style).
A common example of heading levels:
Level 1 : 16-pt, bold type, left justified.
Level 2 :14-pt, bold, italics, left justified
Level 3 : 12-pt, bold, left justified
Level 4 : 12-pt, italics, indented as part of paragraph, follow with colon.
Title page: Title, author name(s), affiliation, and complete addressappear centered on the first page, preceding the abstract. For multiple authors, use footnote numbers to list addresses for each author (authors with identical addresses share a footnote number). Indicate corresponding author with an asterisk.Include an abbreviated title for the manuscript, no longer than 50 characters, to be used as the right running head in the journal. Title: Bold, 16-pt type; capitalize only first letter of first word and proper nouns. Author names: bold 12-pt type. Addresses and contact information: italic, 12-pt type, not bold. Single space following author name(s):
Title: 16-pt, bold, centered
Author A 1 , Author B 2* : 12-pt, bold, centered
Addresses: 12-pt, italic, centered, run-on
1 Address A
2 Address B
*Corresponding author email: Author B email address.
Abbreviated title: No longer than 50 characters.
Abstract: heading bold, centered.Must not exceed 250 words (one paragraph) and must succinctly state the findings of the study. Begin with the main conclusion from the study and follow with the most important findings. Methods should be included as needed for the reader to understand what was done, with greater detail only if the method is the primary topic of the paper. The abstract should allow a reader to determine relevance of the paper to the reader and also should be able to stand alone (it will appear in abstracting services and may be all some readers ever see). References should not appear in the Abstract.
Key words: label as two words bold, followed by a colon (:); include 5–8 key words in alphabetical order immediately following the abstract. Suggestions: significant words from title; common and/or scientific names of principal organisms; geographic area; name of phenomena studied; specialized method names.
Introduction: not titled; approximately 500 words. A brief explanation of importance of topic and a concise synthesis of literature specific to the manuscript’s main topic, followed by objectives or hypotheses tested.
Study site: use past verb tense to describe the area, with the exception of geologic formations and geographic locations (the lake is located east of the mountains; depth of the lake was 2.5 m).
Materials and methods: use past verb tense to present a brief description of dates, sampling regimes, experimental design, and data analysis. Previously published methods should be cited without explanation; new or modified methods should be identified as such and explained in detail. Use appropriate subheadings for long, detailed methods.
Results: limit the results to findings related to the stated purpose of the work. References to tables and figures should point out important aspects of each and not repeat the obvious or restate the table title or figure caption. Be as specific as possible by replacing vague descriptors such as “many,” “few,” or “significantly larger” with numbers.
Discussion: present your interpretation of findings and literature comparisons. Include reasonable speculation and new hypotheses to be tested when appropriate. Synthesize most important findings and relate to study objectives. Management implications derived from your results should be included. Do not repeat any part of the results in this section.
Combined Results and Discussion sections are allowable when appropriate.
Acknowledgments: spelled with no e between the g and m; a brief and straightforward recognition of contributors to the study and manuscript.
References: see section following Style and word usage .
Tables and figures: tables and figures (illustrations) should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate pages at the end of the manuscript or separate files. When uploaded to Manuscript Central, they will be automatically placed in the review file following the text of the manuscript. Tables and figures should be designed to fit either a 1- or 2-column space in the journal. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below. All units must be included. Figures should be completely labeled, taking into account necessary size reduction. Provide a list of all legends separate from the actual graphics; include an explanation of all symbols and abbreviations in the graphic and provide sufficient information for the graphic to stand alone. Graphics should be the highest quality possible so that when reduced to journal size significant information is clear. Pictures must have high resolution (typically 300 dpi or more).
Color reproduction: Color art will be reproduced in color in the online publication at no additional cost to the author. Color illustrations will also be considered for print publication; however, the author will be required to bear the full cost involved in color art reproduction. Please note that color reprints can only be ordered if print reproduction costs are paid. Print Rates: $900 for the first page of color; $450 per page for the next three pages of color. A custom quote will be provided for articles with more than four pages of color. Art not supplied at a minimum of 300 dpi will not be considered for print.
Only one image may be supplied per figure number; authors should produce color graphics that will convert well to black and white for the printed version of LRM.The publisher will alert the authors if any color figures will not reproduce well in black and white, but authors should check figure quality for themselves before submission.
Style and word usage
Common problems
Voice: use first person, active voice in text when possible to avoid wordiness.
No: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that …
Yes: We hypothesized that …
Verb tense: study site is described in past tense unless describing geographic locations or geological formations, such as glacial lakes and mountain chains. Area rainfall, lake depths, watershed land cover, and other attributes should be in past tense. Established facts and findings from past research are in present tense, but methods and results of current study are in past tense.
Wordiness: avoid unnecessary introductory phrases such as “in order to” and “a total of.” Below is a sample of common wordy expressions and their preferred alternatives:

Table/Figure citations: information from table titles and figure legends should not be repeated in the text. Do not use tables and figures as sentence subjects or objects in the text. Instead, describe the findings and refer to the figure or table in parentheses.
No: Figure 4 shows that total phosphorus increased over time.
Yes: Total phosphorus increased over time (Fig. 4).
No: As can be seen in Table 2, the volume increased.
Yes: The volume increased (Table 2).
Secchi : disk, not disc. Secchi is capitalized.
Gauge : not gage.
Trademark symbols : Unless the brand name is necessary, use the generic term. If brand must be used, omit symbol, but capitalize the word.
clear plastic or Plexiglas
petroleum jelly or Vaseline
Unit style: present units of measure as mg/L. Use same style throughout the manuscript, including all figures and tables. Leave a single space between measurement and unit (45.7 mm, 25.8 C). No degree symbol before the C denoting centigrade.

Abbreviations unique to a paper are allowed to reduce the word count as long as they are clearly defined upon first use in the text and on any tables and figures, such as Diver-Assisted Suction Harvesting (DASH).
Acronyms represent both singular and plural uses; do not add an “s” to indicate plural.
Punctuation
Comma : Include a serial comma, the comma after the next-to-last item in a series of 3 or more items.
We surveyed oligotrophic, mesotrophic, and eutrophic lakes.
Population growth and migration, economic development and globalization, ecological conservation, and climate change can all influence adaptive water resources management strategies.
Semicolon : Items in a series that require additional punctuation or explanation are separated by semicolons.
Many reasons can be found for the decline, including loss of ground cover from erosion, agriculture, and development; external loading from the watershed; and increased recreational use.
Enumerated items should be preceded by numbers in parentheses.
Many reasons can be found for the decline, including (1) loss of ground cover from erosion, agriculture, and development; (2) external loading from the watershed; and (3) increased recreational use.
Two complete but related sentences are separated by a semicolon.
The lake had a mean depth of 9.7 m; the surface area was 4266 ha.
Hyphen : In general, prefixes are not hyphenated in scientific terminology (e.g., semipermeable), even if the single word results in a double consonant or vowel (e.g., nonnative species). Hyphenate prefixes when the stem is capitalized (e.g., pre-Columbian) or if omitting the hyphen creates ambiguity in meaning (e.g., re-cover the flask after adding the reagent).
Words are often separate, hyphenated, or compound depending on use as a noun, verb, or adjective:
The shutdown caused water supply problems. [noun]
The city shut down the dam. [verb]
The shut-down dam needed repairs. [adjective]
The following should be expressed as compound nouns in LRM papers:
breakwater
drawdown
downwind/upwind
freshwater
groundwater
hardwater/softwater
riprap
wastewater
database
dataset
stormwater
waterbody
Do not hyphenate a modifier containing a measurement (3L bottle, 6 d study), per International System of Units (SI). [Refer also to Cardinal numbers , p. 12]. Other nonmeasurement modifiers are hyphenated (3-sided enclosure, 6-character identifiers).
Do not hyphenate modifiers ending in –ly (freely available nutrients).
Hyphenate fractions (two-thirds, one-half).
En dash :a line the length of the capital letter N, not to be confused with a hyphen. The symbol, found in the Insert Symbol menu of Word, is commonly used to indicate a range of times or amounts, with no spaces between the number and the dash.
We placed the traps 8–10 m from the surface.
Omit the en dash if the range includes “from” or “between.”
The amount in each sample ranged from 3 to 6 mg.
Each core measured between 12 and 15 m.
Do not use an en dash with negative numbers. [See Equations and measurements , p. 13, for minus sign information].
No: −17–24 mg
Yes: −17 to 24 mg
Use an en dash, not a slash, to indicated progression, relationships, or alternatives.
Transects were plotted in a north–south direction.
Communication is necessary to the researcher–manager relationship.
Managers are required to conduct a cost–benefit analysis.
Parentheses : avoid parentheses within parentheses (( )), but if absolutely necessary, use brackets within parentheses; ([ ]). Do not use abutting parentheses. Instead, enclose all text within one set and separate with a semicolon:
No: (Fig. 8 and 9) (Wetzel 2001)
Yes: (Fig. 8 and 9; Wetzel 2001)
Quotations marks : punctuation is always placed inside the quotation marks in American writing style (“phase,” or “phase.”). American style writing uses double, not single, quotation marks to denote a unique word or phrase. Enclose in quotations first use, identify, and omit quotation marks in subsequent uses.
Geographic locations
Latitude and longitude : use degrees, minutes, and direction without spaces. Use single and double prime symbols (found in Insert Symbol menu), not quotation marks or apostrophes, for minutes and seconds. Separate latitude and longitude with a semicolon and space.
43º15'09"N; 116º40'18"E
Generic geographical terms such as lake, mountain, and river : capitalize only if part of a proper name (Missouri River and Mississippi River). Generic terms that follow two or more proper names are not capitalized (Boone and Howard counties).
Compass points : capitalize if they refer to a geographical region or form part of a place name (Central America, Southern California, Middle East). Use lower case when they refer to a simple direction (central Manitoba, western California, northern Atlantic).
Numbers
Cardinal numbers : use numerals rather than words for all numbers indicating amount or quantity, unless the number is the first word of a sentence or is used in a nonquantitative sense.
The 5 lakes were oligotrophic.
We collected samples on days 1, 5, and 10.
This one is the preferred method.
One reason for the change is agriculture.
Use numerals to express mathematical relationships, such as ratios and multiplication factors (2:1; 10× magnification; 3-fold).
Numerals “1” and “0” are easily confused with letters “l,” “I,” and “O”; therefore, one and zero are usually spelled out when standing alone, unless connected to a unit of measure (1 yr; 0 mm), used as an assigned value (a mean value of 0; x = 0), or are part of a series of other numbers (0, 1, 8, and 12).
When two numbers are adjacent, reword the sentence to separate the numbers or spell out one of the numbers. Numbers with unit abbreviations must remain numerals.[Refer also to Hyphen , p. X].
No: We tested 82 50mL samples.
Yes: We tested eighty-two 50mL samples.
Yes: We tested 82 samples of 50 mL each.
Use commas as space-holders in numbers >9999.
4290
12,876
438,907
Ordinal numbers : use digits for ordinal numbers 10 and above, but spell out single-digit ordinals unless used in a series.
The third sample was contaminated.
We did not see a change until the 12 th trial.
We tested the 1 st , 9 th , and 15 th samples.
Fractions : spell out and hyphenate (two-thirds) unless using a mixed fraction (3½ years). Decimal or percent form is preferred when possible.
Equations and measurements
Equations: separate equations from text with double spaces. Indent equation from left margin and include equation number in parentheses at right margin:
Species diversity was determined using the reciprocal of Simpson’s Index (D; Krebs 1998):
1/D=∑p i 2 (1)
where 1/D = Simpson’s reciprocal diversity index, and p i = the proportion of individual species in the community.
Cite as “equation 1” in text.
Minus sign : use the appropriate minus symbol (−) found in the Insert Symbol menu, not a hyphen (-) or dash (–). Minus signs will move as part of the number it accompanies, even on a line or page break, but hyphens and dashes will not.
Multiplication sign : use the appropriate symbol (×) in equations, not an x.
Mathematical expressions : leave a space between the symbol and numbers when used in a mathematical expression (P < 0.001, pH = 7.0) but not when the symbol is a modifier (pH was <7.0).
Decimals : do not use “naked” decimals (0.05, not .05); use a period to indicate a decimal point, not a comma.
Sub- and superscripts : use where appropriate, with subscript preceding any superscripts (X i 3 ).
Liter measurements and designation : abbreviate as L and mL in all text, tables and figures.
Unit style : Present units of measure as mg/L. Use same style throughout the manuscript, including all figures and tables. Leave a single space between measurement and unit (45.7 mm, 25.8 C).
Time and date
Spell out units when not connected to a number, but abbreviate day (d), hour (h), minute (min), month (mo) and year (yr) when used with a numeric value.
Bottles were turned each day.
Bottles were turned every 12 h.
Traps were emptied every 4 d.
Use the 24hr (military) system: 00:01h (1 min past midnight) through 12:00 h (noon) through 24:00 h (midnight).
Date sequence : day, month, year, without punctuation (20 September 1989). Spell out months except in tables, figures, references, and inside parentheses, in which 3-letter abbreviations are used with no period (26 Apr 2002).
Plural dates : do not use an apostrophe for plural dates (1970s).
Common and scientific names
Common names : do not capitalize common names of species except for proper names (rainbow trout, Canada goose).
Scientific names : should follow first use of common or vernacular name, if one is widely used for the organism, in parentheses. Use italic font, with first letter of genus uppercase. Abbreviate genus names with the first letter when repeated within a few paragraphs, provided the meaning is clear and cannot be confused with another genus in the manuscript with the same first letter. Do not abbreviate if it is the first word of a sentence. Subspecies names are also italicized.
The fourth species is a hybrid of the Mozambique tilapia ( Oreochromismossambicus ) and the Wami River tilapia ( O. urolepishornorum ).
Genus names are always capitalized and italicized, even when used to describe the entire genera of organisms, unless the genus vernacular names are the same, as with Hydrilla and hydrilla; or Python and python. Family and order names are not italicized.
Micropterus [meaning all bass] are common inhabitants in these lakes.
Hydrillaverticillata is an invasive hydrillaspecies in North America.
Other name qualifiers : do not use unless essential; omit taxonomic author names unless critical to the identification of the species.
Generic species indicators : use sp. (not italicized) to designate a single, unknown species name and spp. for plural.
Micropterus spp. are common inhabitants in these lakes, but M. salmoides is most abundant.
Latin usage
Try to avoid using in text with the exception of et al. in citations. If use of Latin is necessary, italicize phrases ( in situ ). Acceptable abbreviations are i.e.(meaning “that is,” or “specifically”) and e.g. (meaning “for example”), followed by a comma. Phrases using i.e. and e.g. should only be used within parentheses and are not italicized.
Do not use etc. to indicate an extended list of items, ca. to indicate approximately (unless approximating a date), sensu to mean in the style of, or cf. to indicate a comparison.
References
Incorrect citations and references require more editing time than any other manuscript problem. Each text citation must have a corresponding reference, and each reference must be cited in the text. The name spellings and year of publication of the citation and corresponding reference must match. Please check carefully before submitting your manuscript.

Internet citations
General information
A website may only be referenced if it is sponsored by an organization committed to maintaining it in perpetuity. Personal or university-based sites are not allowed because they are prone to disappear when the scientist who created them moves or redirects interest.
Year of reference is the publication date of the paper, the web page creation date, or most recent update. Because Internet information is modified regularly, Internet references require an access date.

Supplemental information
General information
Online publishing allows inclusion of information that may not fit into a printed paper with page limitsor may be deemed redundant (tables of data included in a figure) or otherwise inappropriate for the print version (extensive photographic evidence, metadata, other potentially useful information not essential to the paper). Authors should create any supplement as a separate file entitled “Supplement.” This material is additional to the 25-page limit imposed on written materials.
Examples
Materials suitable for inclusion in a supplement include but are not limited to:
· Methodological details useful for repeating the work but not essential to the conclusions drawn from the data.
· Maps or related location information helpful to understanding where the work was conducted but not essential to comprehending how the work was performed or understanding the results.
· Large data tables upon which analyses are based but for which some summary has been given (a condensed table or figure, or possibly a narrative explanation).
· Tables of statistical analyses summarized in the paper but that need not be viewed to understand data interpretations (e.g., lengthy tables of correlation coefficients or significance levels where differences are apparent from figures or the narrative is conclusive).
· Photographic evidence, figures, or other graphics beyond those necessary as examples to explain the work in the main body of the paper.
· Additional references of interest not essential to integrate the work into current knowledge.
Format
Supplemental materials should be formatted according to the above style guidelines, just as with the main paper.
Notes
Notes are used to expand on previously published work or present important preliminary results from a longer, larger study that won’t be published for a year or more (still in progress). In general, a note should be no more than 5 pages and use only one or two graphics. The text formatting conventions that apply to papers apply to notes; the ordering of elements is the primary difference. A note begins with the title, followed by the abstract, without author names and affiliations after the title. Key words precede the introduction, which is not labeled. The methods section is labeled, and the results and discussion sections are usually combined. Author names and affiliations follow the discussion, followed by acknowledgments and then references.
Comments
Comments are short discussion pieces responding to a published work, usually disagreeing with a finding or clarifying some key aspect. They tend to spawn discussion, and the author(s) of the original paper will be given the opportunity to respond in the same issue. Discourse is to be civil and focused on issues of importance to lake management. The text formatting conventions that apply to papers apply to comments, but the overall format is simplified and the length should not exceed 3 pages. The title is followed by the text, without any headings. The author(s) and affiliation(s) appear at the end, followed by any references.
