Preparation of the Manuscript

Upon submission of an article, authors are expected to include all figures and tables in the manuscript. Figures and tables should not be submitted in separate files but should be situated consecutively at the precise locations where they are expected to be in the body of the manuscript. Figures should be supplied in either vector art formats (Illustrator, EPS, WMF, FreeHand, CorelDraw, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.) or bitmap formats (Photoshop, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, etc.). Bitmap images should be of 300 dpi resolution at least unless the resolution is intentionally set to a lower level for scientific reasons. If a bitmap image has labels, the image and labels should be embedded in separate layers.

Every table must have a descriptive title, and if numerical measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading.
