Tables. Each table should be numbered consecutively (Table 1, Table 2, etc.). In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table. Please provide a caption (without abbreviations) to each table, refer to the table in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Finally, please place the tables after the figure legends in the manuscript.

Cross-Referencing. In the text, a reference identified by means of an author?s name should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses where appropriate. When there are more than three authors, only the first author?s name should be mentioned, followed by “et al.”. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like “a” and “b” after the date to distinguish the works.
