TECHNICAL NORMALIZATION
The manuscript should be typed as follows: Times New Roman font – 12 pt, justified, spacing 1.15, with indentation of 1.1 in the first line of paragraphs. Use: single spacing (one line high) between each paragraph and double spacing (two line high) between paragraphs and titles/subheads sections. Foreign words should be italicized. For emphasis or highlight use bold, 'single quotes' or “double quotes”. Use 3-cm margins at each side, on an A4 page, adding up to at most 15 pages, including the illustrations (graphs, photographs, tables, etc). The authors should keep a copy of the manuscript for possible requests. Pages should be numbered consecutively, starting with the title page.
CONCERNING REFERENCES
References must be listed at the end of the paper. Do not begin them on a new page unless this is absolutely necessary. The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Authors should ensure that every reference in the text appears in the list of references and vice versa.
Citation of the Authors
Citation of the authors in the text may be performed in two manners:
1. Just numeric: Indicate references by [1] or [2,3] in the text.
Eg: Aside from prevalence reports, very few studies have evaluated the response to therapy according to the individual genotype [7,10-12,16].
* References must be cited in a numeric ascending order within the paragraph.
2. Alphabetical system (author-date)
-one author - Nelson (2014)
-two authors – Saad and Aladawy (2013)
-three authors or more: Stokes et al. (2015)
The complete list of references should come after the "Acknowledgments" section, and references should be numbered and presented in the Vancouver Style, in accordance with the guidelines provided by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, as presented in Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK7256/). Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the List of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/journals). The correct presentation of the references is responsibility of the authors.
Some examples of how your references should be listed are given bellow, in the ‘References’ section, which will allow you to assemble your reference list according to the correct format and font size.
