  • Please name your files appropriately (e.g. figure 1, table 2) so that our editors will be able to locate them as you reference them in the text.  All common image (e.g. .jpg, .tiff, etc.) and graph (e.g. Excel, graphical analysis, etc.) formats are accepted.  If you have a question about the format you are using, please contact us.
  • All submissions must contain the following sections (though they need not be named this exactly, e.g. procedures vs. methods):  

  1. Abstract
  2. Introduction.  If outside research was used, it should be cited in an acceptable format (CSE is preferred) 
  3. Materials.  This section should list ALL materials used.  If a general item is listed (e.g. 200 mL beaker), then no other speicifics are needed.  If the item is specific, (e.g. a particular strain of bacteria or specific type of depression slide), then the manufacturer and other details should be given.  
  4. Methods.  This section should be detailed enough to allow another scientist to replicate the experiment.  
  5. Results.  This section should include any appropriate graphs, photographs, charts, etc.
