Author Guidelines

References. Must be in the Vancouver style. They should be numbered in the order in which they appear in the text, and the numbers should be inserted as superscripts each time the author is cited. Only papers of quality closely related to the authors’ work should be quoted: quote original work rather than subsequent Reviews. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of references. At the end of the article the full list of references should give the names and initials of all the authors, unless they are more than six in which case the first three will be given followed by et al.
