For research articles, the entire manuscript, including the abstract, text, footnotes, references, and figure captions, should be double-spaced. Numbered section headings should be used to facilitate readability. The introduction should clearly describe previous research on related topics. Care should be taken to specify clearly all procedures essential to the research. When a paper concerns a new piece of software, comparisons to similar programs, benchmarks, and a discussion of limitations should be included.
Generic names are preferred to specific product names.
However, when they imply essential aspects of a procedure, as when a specific product has unique features, the product names may be included for clarity. 3.1 Title and Abstract Use a specific and informative title. Typically, a title might contain 6 to 12 words. Avoid special symbols and formulas in titles unless essential to indicate content. Authors' names should be given without titles or degrees, along with the name of the sponsoring organization.
