Solved by a verified expert:You must carefully follow the formatting rules on the next
page. The paper will require a structured abstract of 100-150 words, a
text of 800-1000 words (which should include separate sections for the
background, methods, results, and conclusion), 8-10 references (at least 8 of
which must be journal articles), and 1 table.
This
is the rubric:
□The manuscript is written in
good English and has been spell checked
□All specific knowledge includes
an appropriate citation
□Formatting: Arial size 11
or Times Roman size 12 font is used throughout the manuscript
(including references and tables), the whole text is aligned left and
ragged right, the whole text is double-spaced, single-column format is
used (do not try to make the submission “look” like a journal article), and all
pages are numbered in the top right corner
□The cover page includes only a
title, the author name and affiliation, author e-mail address, a statement
about funding, a statement about conflicts of interest, word count for
the abstract, word count for the text, and count of number of references,
as shown below:
The second page of the file includes the abstract and 6
MeSH keywords separated by semicolons
□The abstract is structured (has
headers for objective, methods, results, conclusion)
□The abstract is 100-150 words
□The abstract does NOT contain
any references
□The main text starts on page 3
□Each of the four sections of
the main text (background or introduction, methods, results, discussion or
conclusion) and the reference list has a header on its own line in bold type
□The main text is 800-1000 words
□There are 8-10 references; at
least 8 of them are journal articles
§ The
table contains only original peer-reviewed articles; appropriate information is
extracted from each one, including country, study year, study design, and key
finding
