The text is typewritten, double-spaced throughout; pages are in A4 format and numbered, lines should be left numbered in continuum (10-digit numeric system); the text uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed at the end, rather than within the text.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
  • The submission form must contain the full names of ALL authors, using the button "ADD CONTRIBUTORS" with capital letters only for the first letter of authors’ names. Be sure to add ALL the affiliations of ALL the Authors of the article because otherwise they they will not appear online. The author names and affiliations inserted in the online submission system will be those that will be published in PubMed, Scopus, WoS, etc. The Editorial staff is therefore not responsible for eventual inaccuracies or mistakes in the affiliations inserted during the submission process.
  • I understand that this journal charges an Article Processing Fee for publication. I confirm that I will pay the amount due whether my manuscript will be accepted for publication.

A review should clearly describe the search strategy followed (key words, inclusion, exclusion criteria, search engines, ...). No particular format is required; headings should be used to designate the major divisions of the paper.

It should not include subheadings (Introduction, Materials and Methods etc.) but should follow this pattern, if appropriate.
