Manuscript Structure

The manuscript should be editable and organized to support independent assessment and review.

Practical checklist

1. Arrange abstract, introduction, methods, results and discussion logically.
2. Place figure legends and references clearly.
3. Follow the journal’s referenced APA citation guidance.

Additional considerations

Make sure that statements are supported by appropriate references and that your writing clearly distinguishes reported evidence, interpretation and recommendations. Review the original journal instructions for detailed format rules and current requirements.
