Article structure
Subdivision - numbered sections
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections.
Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc.
(the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering
also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any
subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on
its own separate line.
Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background,
avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Material and methods
Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods
already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant
modifications should be described.
Theory/calculation
A Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article
already dealt with in the Introduction and lay the foundation for further
work. In contrast, a Calculation section represents a practical
development from a theoretical basis.
Results
Results should be clear and concise.
Discussion
This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not
repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often
appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published
literature.
Conclusions
The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions
section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or
Results and Discussion section.
Appendices
If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B,
etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate
numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq.
(B.1) and so on. Similarly for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1,
etc.
