3 Notice
3.1 Level of Titles
Arabic numerals classification is used, and levels are generally no more than three. Serial number is
followed with one space and then the title, which is not followed by punctuation.
The format is as following:
1 △ △ △ △ (first level title, left justifying, accounting for 2 lines)
1.1 △ △ △ △ (second level title, left justifying, accounting for 1 line)
1.1.1 △ △ △ △ (third level title, left justifying, one space, followed by text)
3.2 Unit of Measurement
Writing should base on the standard of GB 3100-68, GB 3358-82 and the units of measurement by the
National Standard of People’s Republic of China. For example: amount of substance in units of mole (mol);
liter (L) is used as the denominator represents the volume reference units (mm3, dL is not allowed);
concentration in units of mol/L mmol/L, μmol/L; pressure in units of kPa (Pa); rotate speed in units
of r/min; radioactivity in units of Bq; absorbed dose in units of Gy; times in d (days), h (hour), min
(minutes) and s (seconds); units of measurement is using international symbols, with positive body writing,
and pay attention to the case of letters; the quantity symbols must be italic letters. No more than one slash
used in one combo unit such as mg/kg/d should be changed to mg/ (kg • d) or mg • kg-1 • d-1.
3.3 Statistical Symbols
Writing should base on the standard of GB 3358-82, such as sample size "n", sample arithmetic mean lowercase χ,
the standard deviation in lowercase s standard mistaken for S, t test with a lowercase t, F test with a capital F,
chi-square test with Greek text lowercase χ2, correlation coefficient with a lowercase r, the probability with
uppercase P, the symbol represented with italic letters.
3.4 Digital Usage
The Arabic numerals should be used. The number is using three sub-section methods. Starting from the decimal
point to the left and right, every three digits is one group, and space each group with position of 1/4 Chinese
characters, and without section breaks. For instance: 2748 456, 3.141 59. Parameters and the deviation range:
the numerical range of 3 × 103 to 8 × 103 cannot be written as 3 ~ 8 × 103; percentage ranges from 20% to
30% cannot be written as 20 to 30%; the magnitude of the range of 1.5 ~ 3.6 mA cannot be written as 1.5 mA ~ 3.6 mA;
deviation range (25 ± 1) ° C, (100 ± 2) % cannot be written as 25 ± 1 ° C, 100 ± 2%. Size unit value
multiplied by 50 cm × 80 cm × 100 cm cannot be written as 50 × 80 × 100 cm or 50 × 80 × 100 cm3.
3.5 Tables and Figures
Use words as far as possible without charts, if it is enough to express clearly. Tables and illustrations
(both numbered in Arabic numerals) should be prepared on separate sheets. The tables should be typewritten
double-spaced, including column heads, data, and footnotes. Tables should be self-explanatory and should
supplement, not duplicate, the text. A concise title should be supplied for each table. Type all footnotes
immediately below the table and define abbreviations.
Each illustration must be accompanied by a legend. Figures must be good drawings or original photographs.
Color or black/white are acceptable. For photomicrographs, the magnification and stain should be specified.
3.6 Medical Terminology
Medical nomenclatures should be subject to the latest version of medical terminology and related disciplines
noun by the National Natural Science Terminology Committee. Avoid abbreviations in the title and abstract.
The full term should precede the first use of an abbreviation in the text unless it is a standard unit of
measurement. The terminology should be written as the full term when it first appears. Drugs should be subject
to the latest version of the People's Republic of China Pharmacopoeia. Please use the international generic
name of the drug, not the trade name.
