Journal Guidelines

Avoid beginning a sentence with an antecedent (e.g., “Its”) or a demonstrative pronoun (e.g., “this”).

When a number is used to describe a single measurement, a singular verb is used (10 ml was added). However, if the subject is considered in separate parts, a plural verb is required (10 ml drops were added one by one).

The definite and indefinite articles should be used in formal writing; however, they may be partially excluded in headings, titles, figures, and lists.

Avoid pleonasms: for example, are found to be in agreement-agree, give consideration to-consider, in order to-to.

When a sentence begins with a number, the number must be written in full.

Avoid using a split infinitive unless the sentence requires it to avoid awkwardness or confusion.

Do not use the possessive apostrophe in acronyms (Incorrect: DNA’s).

Do not begin sentences with “and”.
