ABSTRACT The Abstract should consist of brief statements about intent, experimental approach, results, and significance of findings in one paragraph. The maximum length is 200 words. Footnotes and undefined abbreviations should not be used. Citations of previous work are discouraged; if a citation must be used, the form should be: [Jones, A. (1990) Photochem. Photobiol., 58, 79-83]. Please double space the text. Keep Abstract as a separate page. 2
INTRODUCTION The INTRODUCTION should provide readers with the purpose of the study and a concise review of pertinent literature. An extensive review of the literature should not be presented. Use numbers in parentheses, corresponding to numbers in the REFERENCES section, wherever literature is cited in the text (e.g., Various researchers (1-3) agree... See REFERENCES section for more detail on reference style). Unpublished material submitted or accepted for publication may now be cited in the same manner. Manuscripts under preparation or ongoing research should appear in the text only, as (J. Jones, unpublished data) or (J. Jones, personal observation). Articles which are accepted and in press may be included in the reference list. Please make every attempt to obtain the DOI number from the appropriate editorial office. The entire text, including references, should be double spaced. Please define abbreviations the first time introduced into the text. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subheading 1.

Subheading 3. Text follows immediately on same line. RESULTS First subheading, capitalize only first letter of title, left justify Text begins here. First paragraph is not indented. Subsequent paragraphs under a given subheading have an indent in the first line of the text. Text should be left-justified. First nested subheading, capitalize first letter of title only, left justify, text follows on same line. First paragraph of nested subsection goes here.

Subsequent paragraphs under a given subheading have an indent in the first line of the. Use subheadings or nesting as necessary to effectively communicate research results. A concise description of the results should be given, referring to the figures and tables. Only 4
essential figures and tables should be included; often one or two sentences can be used instead of a simple bar graph. The same data should not be presented in both a figure and a table. If you wish, you may indicate where each figure or table should be included in the text with: <Figure 1> <Table 1> Do not embed figures in the text. Figures should be submitted as separate files. They may all be contained in one file. Tables should be included in the text prepared using in MS-Word or MS-Excel. The RESULTS AND DISCUSSION sections can be combined, if this improves the logical sequence of the material. DISCUSSION First subheading, (if necessary,) capitalize only first letter, left justify The first paragraph begins on a new line. Add more subheadings if necessary. In this section the results of the experiments are interpreted and related to prior knowledge in the field. The data described in the RESULTS section should not be repeated. The discussion should be concise and not include unfounded speculation. Material that is supplementary to the printed text of an article (eg video clips, extra images, tables, etc.) can be hosted online with the journal at 5
the discretion of the Editor.

REFERENCES Use the following format, including punctuation, for references. Reference 1. is a journal article, references 2. and 3. are books. (see Chem. Abstracts or Index Medicus for journal name abbreviations). Include both first and last page numbers and full titles. No multiple referencing: each article must have a unique reference number, even if several articles are cited in the same place in the text. Do not use the phrase and references therein. Do not include footnotes to the text in this section. (If footnotes are absolutely necessary, include them on the footnotes page, with corresponding author s address) Unpublished research and personal observations should not be included in this section, (cite in the text only), unless the work has been submitted for publication and a full title is given. Note: If an article is in press, please provide the DOI number (you may need to contact the publisher.) 1. First author s last name, first author s initials, second author s initials followed by last name, all subsequent authors first initials followed by last name (year of publication) Full title of paper. Journal name, abbreviated. volume no., first page no.-last page no. 2. First author s last name, first author s initials, second author s first initials followed by last name, all subsequent authors first initials followed by last name (year of publication) Full title of chapter if applicable. In Title of book. (Edited by Editors names), pp. first page used-last page used. Publisher, City, State or Country. 3. First author s last name, first author s initials.

City, State or Country. Arrange references in the REFERENCES section in the order in which they are first cited in text. Be sure the numbers in the REFERENCES list correspond with numbers of references in the text. Verify all entries against original sources, especially names of all authors, article titles, journal names, accents, diacritical marks, and spelling. Do not use "et al." in the list of references. FIGURE CAPTIONS Figure 1. Description of the figure which, in publication, would appear immediately below figure. Include the key to symbols used in the figure, if this is not included within the figure itself. Figure 2. Most figures are published at a width of 2 5/8 (6.7 cm) or 3.5 (8.5 cm). Please reduce your figures to this size before submitting them, to ensure that all text and data are clear when reduced to this size. The maximum width for a figure is 6 7/8 (17.5 cm) and the longest is 9 1/4 (23.5 cm); note that large figures (wider than one column) will only be published at the Editor s discretion The closer originals are to publication size, the better the quality of reproduction. When reducing a figure, heavy lines reproduce better than thin lines. Figure 3. The office requires originals of photographic quality for any color or gray scale artwork. 8
Figure 4. a) For multi-panel figures, labels a), b), c) etc. should appear within the panels of the figure. b) Please arrange panels on a single page, where possible, with panels laid out as would be preferred for publication. c) A layout which will require a single column in width is preferred. d) Avoid unnecessary space between panels and make sure panels are of the same size if possible. 9
