State the purpose, give a minimum of background, concisely present the data that led to the conclusions, clearly differentiate fact and inference, and present justifiable conclusions and, perhaps, further implications of the conclusions. Do not describe standard methods in detail if references to the methods can be cited. Where English measurements are necessary, follow metric with English in parentheses. Footnotes Avoid footnotes and parenthetical statements. Textual footnotes that are deemed necessary should be numbered consecutively with superscripts and also typed double-spaced.
Captions Make captions precise and explain all symbols and abbreviations used.
Type captions in consecutive order, double-spaced. Do not put captions and figures on the same page. Tables Tables should replace text, not duplicate it. They should be numbered consecutively, and each must be typed on a separate page. See the sample table for further instructions.
