In accordance with copyright law, the manuscript must not duplicate substantial portions of previously published material. Permission to reproduce copyright material must be obtained by the authors before submission and any acknowledgments should be included in the submission. Acknowledgment of source and copyright should be given in cases where photographs, data and media are reproduced.

All tables, maps, diagrams and photographs should be titled at the top. They will also be designated as Table, Figure, Map, Photograph, Diagram, numbered and cited consecutively in the text.
