1. INTRODUCTION
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
2. MATERIAL AND METHODS
Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described. Capitalize trade names and include the manufacturer's name and address. Subheadings should be used. Methods in general use need not be described in detail.
3. RESULTS

7. REFERENCES
Citation in text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.
The Harvard system whereby author’s names and date of publication appear in the text will be used. Where there are joint authors, only the name of the first should be given in the text followed by et al.

General points
• Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.
• Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text.
• Figures should be referred to as Fig. 1, Fig. 2 etc.
• Provide captions (legends) to illustrations separately
Figure captions (Legends)
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions separately, not attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.
