All images should be sent as separate files and must be at least 300 dpi for acceptable print reproduction.

Articles are typically ~2000-2500 words in length, clear, concise and written in English. Articles must contain: A complete title, Authors’ name(s), Institutions where the research was performed, other institutions involved for each author, and a corresponding email address for the author to whom all correspondence should be sent.

Image Resolution

Image resolution or dpi (dots per inch) refers to the number of pixels per inch in a digital image. If supplying digital images for print, please ensure they are at least 300 dpi.
