• Bibliographical references must be given (an explanation and example of how to set them out is given later on).

• Acknowledgements (Optional). These should be brief and mention any essential support received for carrying out the work being reported.

• Appendix (Optional).

Scientific and technological research articles must also include:

• Experimental development. This must be written giving sufficient details for the subject to be fully understood by readers, including descriptions of any procedures involved.

• Results. These must give a clear explanation and interpretation of the findings. If it is necessary, a brief, focused discussion about how given results can be interpreted.
