6. Technical Guidelines

• Nomenclature: The full scientific name (in italics) and author citation must be provided at first mention of an organism. Use standard chemical names at first mention.

• Numbers and Units: Use the International System of Units (SI). Present numerical data with appropriate precision. Use a space as a thousand separator (e.g., 10 500). Spell out numbers one to nine unless followed by a unit (e.g., three samples, 5 kg).

• Symbols and Acronyms: Define all non-standard acronyms at first use. Use common symbols (e.g., r for correlation coefficient). Use the % symbol when preceded by a numeral.

• Tables and Figures:

  • Number all tables and figures consecutively (Table 1, Figure 1).

  • Each table/figure must have a self-explanatory title and be placed on a separate page at the end of the manuscript.

  • Figures (graphs, charts) must be of high resolution, with clear labels in Arial, 9 pt font. Ensure they remain legible when scaled to one column width (85 mm).

  • Table footnotes use superscript lowercase letters (a, b, c). Use asterisks (*, **, ***) to denote statistical significance levels.

• Dates and Time: Use the 24-hour format (e.g., 14:30). Write dates as: 10 January 1990.
