f) acknowledgements

The main body of full-length paper should be divided into:

In general, there are no specific word lengths for any manuscript. The general principle is that a manuscript can be as long as necessary to communicate clearly and most effectively the scientific message, but should be as short as possible to achieve a complete presentation of the information without undue repetition or redundancy.

In the Materials and Methods section, the source of all compounds, equipment or software should be identified by the full name of the supplier, city, state/country. The chemical names of any drug should precede the trade name.

Papers describing animal experiments must define species, strain, sex, age, supplier and number of animals used. An ethical statement concerning the use of animals, or the details of ethical approvals, consent and recruitment of human subjects should be clearly stated. Results and Discussion can be broken down into subsections for improving the comprehensibility. The Results should not repeat methodological details and should avoid the discussion of the data.

The results of statistical tests should be incorporated in the body of the text, typically in the Results section, rather than in figure legends. Adequate description of statistical analysis should be provided. Statistical measures of variation in the text, illustrations and tables, should be identified.

All dimensions and measurements must be specified in the metric system.

All subscripts, superscripts, Greek letters and unusual characters must be clearly identified.

In the text, abbreviations should be used consistently. Abbreviations should be defined on first use.

References should be designed in Vancouver style. Multiple authors should be separated by a comma. If there are more than three authors, after the 3rd author, "et al." should be inserted without a comma for both article and book references. If reference is made from a chapter in a book and there are many authors belonging only to this chapter, the title and chapter of the book are indicated, the first three of the chapter authors are written, and "et al." statement is added for subsequent authors.
