- The abstract has five labelled parts: Purpose, Material/methods, Findings, Conclusion, Value.

- The paper type is stated.
- The manuscript runs from title and abstract through introduction, literature review, methodology, findings and discussion, conclusion and recommendations to acknowledgements and references.

- The file is in Microsoft Word or RTF (the checklist also allows OpenOffice; the Author Guidelines, WordPerfect), single-spaced, in a 12-point font (Times New Roman, in the Author Guidelines).
