Statistical methods can be given in a separate subtitle. Where techniques that have already been described in an indexed journal are used, this section should be concise and provide relevant references, only.

Results:The Results section should provide data that are clearly and simply stated. This section should be arranged in the order as in the section of Methods and not include discussion or conclusions. The results should be presented concisely, including tables or figures.
