Also, authors are expected to keep all research data for verification even after the publication. The failure to keep the data may be regarded as misconduct.

References are to be listed in the order cited in the text. References in the text are to be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals, in the order of first appearance. They can be typed in superscripts after punctuation marks, e.g. in the statement.²

Reports should not be cited unless absolutely necessary.
