They will only be deleted prior to type setting. Most lists or enumeration of items should be preceded by a phrase ending in a colon. Generally, each item in the list should end with a comma or semicolon and the last item in the list ends with a period. If the enumerated items are long or complex, begin each number on a new line. For consistency the Journal prefers Arabic numbers with right parentheses.
Bullet lists are an eye-pleasing way to enumerate ideas or facts.
The JIR insists on proper documentation for important facts and assertions. However, the Journal discourages citations for commonly known facts and for literature that is marginal to the ideas developed the paper. Always give the source for direct quotation. The citations should be start with the last name of the author, a comma, and year of publication. Footnotes should be reserved for technical detail or supplementary comments that for purposes of readability and interest to a general audience are kept apart from the main flow of the text.
