GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Your paper for Environmental Toxicology and Ecology should be no longer than 20 pages, including references, appendices, figures, and tables.
Tables are a concise and effective way to present large amounts of data. You should design them carefully so that you clearly communicate your results to busy researchers. Display items (tables, figures) should be inserted into the manuscript. sequentially from 1 to n. The paper should be written in Microsoft Word. We have observed that keeping papers on the shorter side usually improves the writing and makes the logic tighter, so we are maintaining a rather strict page limit. It is important that authors follow our instructions carefully. To help you in this task, we have written this document in the recommended format and the Word version includes the embedded styles. 

Margins
In the first page which includes Title and Abstract must be 5 cm from top, 2.5 cm from bottom, left and right. For the other pages, left and right margins must be 1.5 cm and others should be 2.5 cm, with text fully justified. 

Spacing
The body text of the paper should be single-spaced and fully justified in 12 point Times New Roman font. Do not leave one-line space between paragraphs, and do not indent the first line of a new paragraph.  Use one space after punctuation marks such as periods, commas, semi-colons, and colons. No space after internal periods in abbreviations (a.m., i.e., U.S.).
Do not insert one-line space between paragraphs. Use 12 pt. line after and before the all paragraphs.

Headings
For the main headings use 12 point Times New Roman bold font, all letters caps, centered. 
For Level 2 headings, use justified 12-point Times New Roman font and capitalize the first letter of the first word. Please use the MS Word font styles for the headings

First Page Requirements

Title of the Article
Do not use a separate title page. For the article title, use 14-point Times New Roman bold font, only first letter caps, centered.

Authors
Do not write down any information about authors at this stage. Author information will be required after your submission is accepted for publishing.

Abstract and Keywords
Use no more than 300 words in the abstract to indicate the nature of the topic and to briefly summarize the findings of the paper. Put “Keywords:” on the next cell, followed by no more than five keywords.

The Body of the Paper
The body of the paper should be separated from the abstract by two-line spaces. The “body text” style used here is justified 12-point Times New Roman font. In body text, space no space after each period that ends a sentence. Do not leave a line space between paragraphs. Do NOT indent the first word of a new paragraph.
Footnotes, Figures, and Tables

Footnotes
Footnotes are generally discouraged but may be used when necessary. They should be numbered consecutively and placed at the bottom of the page on which they appear, separated from the body of the text by a line one inch long (or 10 spaces). Two footnotes on the same page should be separated by a line space. Be sure to observe the margin requirements at the bottom of the page. Footnotes should not be attached to equations.

Figures and Tables
Use a 10 pt Times New Roman font for figure and table captions. Figures and tables should appear soon after their first citation in the text and should be included in a manner that allows easy reference while reading the text. Please try to make them as legible as possible.
Figure captions should be located below the figure, centered and not bolded with no period following the figure number or at the ends of the lines.
Table captions should be located above the table on two lines, not bolded, with the table number on the first line, the description on the next line, both lines left-justified and no periods at the end of the table number or the lines. Leave one blank line between the end of the caption and the table.

For both table and figure captions, capitalize only the first letter of the first word unless a word is normally capitalized because it is a proper name. Do not use bold fonts. Do not use periods after the table and figure numbers, and no periods at the ends of the lines. Refer to all tables and figures nearby in the text.

Tables should be centered, if possible across the entire page, as shown in Table 1. The entries in the cells of the table should be left justified. The font used for the cell entries is left to the discretion of the author. In general tables look better and are easier to read if you minimize the number of vertical lines and use only horizontal lines so far as possible as shown in Table 1.
