4. Acknowledgements:

5. References:

References are cited in the text by authors' names (et al. should be used for papers authored by more than two persons) and year of publication. If you are citing more than one publication for one year by the same authors, use suffix a, b or c after the year of publication. Some examples are: Hamazaki et al., 1995; Benzie and Smith, 1999; Hausman et al., 2002a and Hausman et al., 2002b. However, the reference list at the end of the manuscript must include names of all authors.
All references should be listed alphabetically at the end of the paper. References should list author's last name followed by initial(s), year, and title of the article, full name of the journal (in italics), volume, and inclusive page numbers:

6. Footnotes:

There should be minimal use of footnotes. A footnote may include the designation of a corresponding author of the paper, current address information for an author (if different from that shown in the affiliation), and it will appear at the bottom of the title page. Grant support of research should appear in a separate Acknowledgements section at the end of the paper, not in a footnote. Acknowledgements of the assistance of colleagues or similar note of appreciation also properly belong in an Acknowledgements section, not in footnotes.
Footnotes should be indicated in the text by the following symbols: * (asterisk or star), †(dagger), ‡ (double dagger), ¶ (paragraph mark), § (section mark), II (parallels), # (number sign). Do not use numerals for footnotes call-outs, as they may be mistaken for bibliographical reference call-outs or exponents. Footnotes within a table should be indicated by the same symbols listed above. Type footnotes to a table directly beneath the table.

7. Figure Legends:

All figure legends should be typed on a separate sheet, be numbered with consecutive Arabic numbers, have descriptive legends, and be mentioned in the text. Keep figures separate from the text, but indicate an approximate position for each figure in the margin.

8. Illustrations:

The quality of line drawings and photographs must be of a high enough standard for direct reproduction. No additional artwork redrawing or typesetting will be done. Photographs intended for halftone reproductions must be glossy original prints of maximum contrast. Illustrations should be prepared to fit either into a single column width (75 mm) or double column width (160 mm), in the case of line drawings, after 50% reduction. All lettering must be clearly legible and be not less than 4 mm in height.
Color illustrations: Whenever the use of color is an integral part of the research, or where the work is generated in color, the journal will publish the color illustration for a charge of $100 per illustration.

9. Tables:

Tables should be consecutively numbered with Arabic numbers and have a clear descriptive title at the top. Explanatory table footnotes are acceptable (please also see Footnotes).

10. Abbreviations and Conventions:

Abbreviations that are nonstandard should be defined in the text when first used. Whenever possible restrict the use of abbreviations to SI (Systeme Internationale) symbols.

Identification of Reviewers

To expedite the review process, authors may submit names, telephone & FAX numbers, and E-mail address of 2-4 potential reviewers (referees) of the manuscript. Authors also may indicate (if necessary) individuals who should not be asked to review the manuscript.

Conflict of Interest Disclosure

It is the policy of this journal and the publisher (New Century Health Publishers, LLC) that readers of the journal should be made aware of any affiliation or financial interest that may affect the author's presentation. Therefore, authors of review articles should disclose at the time of submission any financial arrangement they may have with a company whose product figures prominently in the submitted manuscript or with a company making a competing product. Such information will be held in confidence while the paper is under review and will not influence the editorial decision, but if the article is accepted for publication, the editors will usually discuss with the authors the manner in which such information is to be communicated to the reader.

This information should be provided on a separate sheet of paper under title "Conflict of Interest Disclosure" and included with the manuscript submitted. Please provide your name, signature and the title of the manuscript below the "Conflict of Interest Disclosure" statement. If there is no conflict of interest, simply state so. Editors are not to share this statement with the reviewers of the manuscript.
