b) Figures and tables
- Figures should be high quality images (.JPG, .PNG) (minimum width 1400 pixels / 300 dpi).
- Tables should not be images and should respect the template (at the end of the template).
- Figures and Tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points.
- Refer to them in the text of your article (e.g: Table 1, or Figure 1, or Figure 1A)
- Figures and tables (excel file) can also be uploaded separately.
c) Symbols and Italics
- Latin words must be written in italics. (e.g: Vitis vinifera)
- For special signs, do not use Symbol or Wingding (etc.) fonts: only Times New Roman (also for tables).
- A non-breaking space is needed before % and units or = or any symbol. (eg: n = 8 110 %, 10 gL-1, p-value > 0,1)
d) Equations
- Mathematical formulas can be inserted using the equation editor anywhere in the body of the article. They can also be inserted as images, but only in the cells of a table.
e) Bibliography
- Authors are responsible for crosschecking their citations against their bibliographies.
- Include a bibliographical list of all cited references labelled “References” starting on a new page after the main text.
f) How to format your references?
- APA Style is mandatory (7th edition)
- In the body of the text, bibliographic references should be listed like this:
- (Name1 et al., 2019; Name2 et al., 2019)
- (Name1 and Name2, 2017a; Name1 and Name2, 2017b)
- If 2 authors only: (Name1 and Name2, 2019) – do not use &
- According to Name et al. (2019)
- In References, bibliographic references should be listed alphabetically and APA style is mandatory (with doi when available).
They should be formatted like this:
- Name, A. A, Name, B. B, & Name, C. C. (2010). Title of the document. Journal, 21(1), 57‑75. https://doi.org/xxxxxxxxxxx
- Name, F. (2013a). Title of the document. Journal , 31(3), 466–467. https://doi.org/xxxxxxxxxxx
- Name, F. (2013b). Title of the document. Journal, 16, 491-498. https://doi.org/xxxxxxxxxxx
- If doi are missing or if you need help with APA style:
- Doi are available here: https://apps.crossref.org/SimpleTextQuery/ (You just have to copy/past the bibliographic references)
- You ca use Zotero or Mendelay or the APA style generator: https://www.scribbr.com/apa-citation-generator/#/
