(the abstract is not included in section numbering).
Material and methods. Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described.
Footnotes. Footnotes should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the article.
References. References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary.
Citation in text. Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa).

Where applicable, author(s) name(s), journal title/book title, chapter title/article title, year of publication, volume number/book chapter and the pagination must
be present.

Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;
Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication;
Three or more authors: first author's name followed by 'et al.' and the year of publication. Citations may be made directly (or parenthetically). Groups of references should be listed first alphabetically, then chronologically.
