- Standard scientific abbreviations may be used, non standard abbreviations should be included in parenthesis after the first use of the full word
- Do not indent paragraphs
- Present sufficient data to support conclusions - it is unsatisfactory to use statements such as "data will be presented" or "results will be discussed"
