Materials and methods

              Provide concise but complete information about the material and the analytical, statistical and experimental procedures used. This part should be as clear as possible to enable other scientists to repeat the research presented.

Results and Discussion

               In this part, the same data/ information given in a table must not be repeated in a figure, or vice versa. It is not acceptable to repeat extensively the numerals from tables into text and give lengthy and unnecessary explanations of the Tables and Figures.

Legends of figures should be brief, but complete and self-explanatory so that the reader can easily understand the results presented in the figure. Figures should be num­bered with Roman Numericals.
