using double quotation marks. For longer quotations (more than three lines or
two sentences), use 'Quotation' style in the styles menu.

section before the References.
References

references to the literature should be cited by author's surname followed by
year of publication. If there are multiple citations, present them

Abbreviations of journal titles should follow those used in Index Medicus.
Tables
Each table should be numbered consecutively. In tables, footnotes are
preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the
table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be
placed immediately below the table. Please provide a caption (without
abbreviations) to each table, refer to the table in the text and note its
approximate location in the margin. Finally, please place the tables after the
figure legends in the manuscript.
Figures
All photographs, graphs and diagrams should be referred to as a Figure and they
should be numbered consecutively. Multi-part figures ought to be labeled with
lower case letters (a, b, etc.). Please insert keys and scale bars directly in
the figures. Relatively small text and great variation in text sizes within
figures should be avoided as figures are often reduced in size. Figures may be
sized to fit approximately within the column(s) of the journal. Provide a
detailed legend (without abbreviations) to each figure, refer to the figure in
the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Please place the
legends in the manuscript after the references.
