- In the experimental methodologies, results and discussion sections, all units must be specified according to the SI system. Figures and tables must be clear, centered in the text and as much as possible comprehensible without the need to consult other information. Table headings, in bold type, must be centered. All graphics, sketches, photographs and special symbology must be presented in good quality (600 dpi) and must be send separately in jpeg, bmp or tiff format. Figures must be listed as “Fig.”.
