When writing, do not use the „O“ character instead of the „0“ number, or the „I“ character instead of the „1“ number, etc.; while these characters may appear similar when using certain fonts, once exported to a different font, these similarities may disappear.
The maximum extent for the manuscript is limited to 5 pages (with the possibility of different appendices besides the text, for instance: pictures, tables).
In a second part informed consent and/or approval of an ethics committee must be mentioned.

Align citations in ascending numerical order matching the order of citations in the text. Mention in the citation all authors when there are three or fewer. If there are more than three authors, indicate the first three and use the abbreviation: “et al”. Specify the pages at the end of each citation. Works that are being printed and/or that have been sent for publication can be included in the citation list.
