- Do make as few lists as necessary.
- Avoid using bold and cursive in the main text. Individual or special terms should be indicated by using inverted commas (“”).
- Check that hyphens (-) and dashes (–) have been used correctly.
- Footnotes will be printed in the form of endnotes. However, important information for the comprehension of the article should feature in the main text; avoid extensive footnotes and annotations.
