Body of Text

The ideal Editorial begins with an introductory paragraph that immediately presents the issues under discussion in a way that captures the reader's interest. The introduction should be general enough to orient the reader not familiar with the specifics of the field being discussed. Here, and throughout the article, the author should avoid the jargon and special terms of his or her field or system. If the language of specialists is necessary, define terms for the general reader. The body of the text should, in the limited space available, develop the discussion in a lively manner. Section headings can be used when necessary and should be short (no more than 30 characters). The final paragraph should draw the piece to a concise conclusion, without simply restating the text.

Figures

The figure should illustrate the essential message of the article. It can be a drawing, graph, chart, table, or photograph. The point is to catch the eye while informing the reader.

Conclusion

The conclusion should be effective to maximize the impact on the reader. Tell the reader about future prospects and implications. What are the unanswered questions? Where is the field going etc? The editor ends the article giving very specific and outstanding recommendations for the reader to take action.

References

Any reference taken from other sources should be cited in the reference list in the order in which they appear, first through the text, then through the table and figure legends. References are listed at the end of the manuscript in the text, cite the reference number by making it superscript in all the above content of the manuscript.
