Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is required (maximum length 200 words). The
abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal
results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separate from the
article, so it must be able to stand alone. References should therefore be
avoided. Uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must
be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
Immediately
after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, avoiding general and
plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, "and",
"of").
Subdivision - numbered sections
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections
should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not
included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal
cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given
a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a
detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Results
Results should be clear and concise.
Discussion
This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat
them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid
extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
Conclusions
The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions
section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results
and Discussion section.
Appendices
If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc. Tables
and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.
