  Results and Discussion

  This section may each be divided by subheadings or may be combined. Although not everything need be disclosed in this section, a good paper must contain new, useable, and fully described information. Authors should expect to be challenged by reviewers if the results are not supported by adequate data and critical details.

  Preparation of Figures

  Upon submission of an article, Authors are required to ensure that all figures are in good quality and acceptable resolution. Figures must be embedded into the text and not supplied separately.
