Style

The Journal uses spellings according to the latest edition of Oxford or Chamber's Dictionary. All measurements must be given in SI units. Abbreviations should be used sparingly and only where they ease the reader's task by reducing repetition of long technical terms. Initially, use the word in full followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter, use the abbreviation. Upon its first use in the title, abstract and text, the common name of a species should be followed by the scientific name (Genus, species and authority) in parentheses. However, for well-known species, the scientific name may be omitted from the article title. If no common name exists in English, the scientific name should only be used. At the first mention of a chemical substance, give the generic name only. The words like in vivo, in vitro, et al., ad lib. etc. should be in italics. Trade names should not be used or avoided. Drugs should be referred to by their generic names rather than brand names.

Abstract and key words

Articles must have a structured abstract that states in within 300 words, the purpose, basic procedures, main findings and principal conclusions of the study.
