Main Document
All manuscript types must include a \souttitle page, abstract, text and references in the Main Document. Standard, double-spaced manuscript format, in 12 point font is requested. Number all pages consecutively.
Title page:  The \souttitle should be brief (no more than 100 words in length including spaces) and useful for indexing. All authors’ names with highest academic degree, affiliation of each, but no position or rank, should be listed. For cooperative studies, the institution where research was primarily done should be indicated. In a separate paragraph, specify grants, other financial support received, and the granting institutions (grant number(s) and contact name(s) should be indicated on the title page). If support from manufacturers of products used is listed, assurances about the absence of bias by the sponsor and principal author must be given. Identify meetings, if any, at which the paper was presented. The name, complete mailing address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address of the person to whom correspondence and reprint requests are to be sent must be included. \soutKeywords should also be noted on the title page. For usage as a running head, provide an abbreviated title (maximum 50 characters) on the bottom of the title page.
\sout
Summary/Abstract:  In accordance with the structure of the article, with or without separate headings, outline the objectives, working hypothesis, study design, patient-subject selection, methodology, results (including numerical findings) and conclusions. The Summary should not exceed the word counts outlined above. If abbreviations are used several times, spell out the words followed by the abbreviations in parentheses.
\sout
Acknowledgements:  Technical assistance, advice, referral of patients, etc. may be briefly acknowledged at the end of the text under “Acknowledgements.”
\sout
Informed Consent:  Informed consent statements, if applicable, should be included in the Methods section.
References/citations:  \soutReferences may be included at the end of your text, or uploaded as a separate file. Ensure your references are up to date, and include a critical selection from the world literature. References should be prepared according to CSE (Council of Science Editors) citation-sequence style. Refer to the Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers , 8th edition (University of Chicago Press). Start the listing on a new page, double-spaced throughout.
\sout
Number the references in the sequence in which they first appear in the text, listing each only once even though it may be cited repeatedly.
\sout
When citing a reference in the text, the style advocated by CSE suggests numbers appear in superscript, and appear before punctuation marks (commas or periods). In the citation-sequence  system, sources are numbered by order of reference so that the first reference cited in the paper is 1, the second 2, and so on. If the numbers are not in a continuous sequence, use commas (with no spaces) between numbers. If you have more than two numbers in a continuous sequence, use the first and last number of the sequence joined by a hyphen, for example 2,4,6-10.
\sout
In the references, list the first ten authors of the cited paper. If there are more than ten authors, list the first 10 authors followed by ’et al’.
\sout
Journals’ names should be shown by their abbreviated title in Index Medicus .
\sout
Manuscripts in preparation or submitted for publication are not acceptable references. If a manuscript “in press” is used as a reference, a copy of it must be provided with your submission.
