Headings ranks and format
Papers contain one to four headings, all aligned at the left hand margin, as follows:
RANK ONE
Use boldface and all capital letters. Use a space before this rank but subsequent paragraph(s) continue without a space.

Headings such as INTRODUCTION, MATERIALS AND METHODS, RESULTS, DISCUSSION, and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS are RANK ONE headings. Do not use a period after this heading.
Rank two
This heading subdivides RANK ONE headings, thus there must be at least two or more Rank two subheads. Titles are boldface and “sentence case”. Rank two headings are separated by a space above the heading as in RANK ONE headings. No period after Rank two headings. The paragraph starts on the first line after the Rank two heading and is indented.

Rank four headings are separated by a space above the heading as in RANK ONE headings. The paragraph starts on the first line after the Rank four heading and is indented.

Introduction
This should include a statement of the problem, a brief survey of previous work, and the scope and purpose of the investigation. References to previous work should be included.
Materials and methods
This section should be included in papers describing experiments but may not be required in review papers. Describe concisely the materials, the growing technique, methods used, and lay‐out of experiments etc. Include the name of all chemicals and compounds. An indication of the statistical methods used to analyze data should be included.
Results and discussion
This is the heart of the paper. The section(s) may either be presented as a single section or divided into separate Results and Discussion sections. If separate, describe experimental results in the Results section and reserve interpretations, speculations, and conclusions for the Discussion section.
Conclusion
At the end of the paper attempt to answer questions formulated in the introduction and conclude with a summary of results and an assessment of future research or prospects
