If you want to italicise, use the italics feature of your computer software. Text Data should usually be given in tabular rather than graphic form, and percentages should always be accompanied by whole numbers. All papers are edited after acceptance, both technically and linguistically. Abbreviations mean different things to different people and so should be used sparingly. You must spell them out the first time they are used and take care to use only standard forms.
References Be selective.
Cite not more than approx. 25 references, except in Review Articles. Number the references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Abbreviate journal titles as in Index Medicus. If the title is not in Index Medicus, spell it out in full.
