• Single spacing throughout
• References, denoted by superscript numbers in the text, should be listed at the end of the text using standard Chemical Abstracts Source Service Index terminology followed by YEAR, VOLUME, and PAGE
• The use of figures, graphs and schemes is recommended where this aids the understanding of the text
