Continuity with earlier work on the subject should be established by reference to recent papers and reviews. Experimental methods These must be clearly described. Techniques already published elsewhere need not be extensively described, but should be adequately referenced. Results In short papers, Results may be combined with the Discussion section. The Discussion should be restricted to interpretation and discussion of the main implications of the experimental data.
Excessive speculation is to be avoided.
References Works that are cited in the text and that have been accepted for publication should be listed at the end of the paper in alphabetical order under the first author's name.

If there is more than one work by the same author or team of authors in the same year, a, b, c, etc. is added to the year both in the text and in the list of references. Internationally accepted abbreviations of journal titles should be used. Regulation of ribosomal RNA and messenger RNA synthesis in human mitochondria.
