INTRODUCTION

State an adequate background, research objectives, problems underlying the research, and theoretical reviews. Use active sentences instead of passive sentences and don't hesitate to use the word "we".

 MATERIALS AND METHODS

Make it in subtitles. The subtitle "Materials" or "Tools" does not need to be made separately, but merges into the ‘Experimental procedures’. Provide the manufacturer's name for the material eg (Toyobo, Japan) and the tool's brand name eg (Thermo, Germany). End with the subheading “Statistical analysis”: What statistics were used, the software used including product and company names, as well as how significant (p-value). Use the passive voice for this part.

RESULTS

Make it in subtitles. Do not hesitate to use the word "we". Make it in active sentences. Explain a figure or graph, don't leave the reader to make their own interpretation.

Provide your data either in the form of graphs or figures. For graphs, include the raw data in the bottom of the page as an attachment.

FIGURES

Place the caption below the figures and adjust to 10 font size, followed by a brief description of how to get the result. Include any abbreviations that appear on the graphs/figures. Please, provide the figure with high resolution. For figures that compare between two groups, mark a line between groups and a star according to statistical significance. Statistical analysis is also mentioned in the figures’ captions.

TABLE

Tables should be created with a word processor and cited consecutively in the text. Provide a title above the tables and adjust to 10 font size, followed by a description and abbreviations below that appear in the tables. Only horizontal lines of three lines are allowed, i.e. two lines flanking column headings and the bottom line.

DISCUSSION

CONCLUSION

The conclusion(s) should clearly explain the main findings and be drawn from the previous sections (results and discussions). It concludes and provides broad generalizations and the creation of new theories, rather than containing the superficial conclusion(s).

Use primary sources available online (journal articles) from credible sources such as PubMed (minimize use of book references). Use the most recent references (last 10 years).
