Writing Style Suggestions

• To make the article more interesting and easy to read, important or auxiliary information could be placed separately in sidebars or boxes
• We do not publish references in the print version. Hence, we advise you to minimise the number of in-text references in the article. However, we do publish references in the magazine’s online version (HTML)
• Avoid clichés and jargon to the extent possible. Please provide explanations and definitions for the technical terms used to ensure clarity
Dos and Don’ts
