5) Manuscript has been spell checked and grammar checked.

6) All references mentioned in the Reference List are cited in the text, and vice versa.

7) Make sure to submit your manuscript in Microsoft Word template. If it contains special characters, equations or any precise formatting that needs to be retained, please submit a PDF of your manuscript for reference, in addition to an editable word version. Figure files should also be uploaded as high-resolution TIFF or EPS files for printing.

9) There are no strict formatting requirements (on length restrictions or reference formatting, for example) to keep the preparation process as easy as possible for authors. The focus will be on the quality of the scientific content of the work, not whether sections are labeled 1, 2, 3 or I, II, III.
