Be consistent with all formatting – capitalizing words, bulleted lists, spacing, tabs, etc. (refer to the ‘general outline of a narrative review paper’ on the following page).
Give average values (do not need to provide +/- standard deviation values).
Don’t use the word ‘prove’ or ‘proven’ when writing scientifically.
Don’t use first names. Only last names of first authors followed by et al.
Do not use any direct quotes in your paper.
If a sentence starts with a number, the numbers must be spelled out.
The last sentence of the Introduction paragraph should inform the reader what to expect about what the body of the paper will be (the focus of the paper).
Don’t introduce one study (study #1), then introduce another study (study #2), and then give the results of Study #1 after introducing study #2, and then again give the results of study #2 after giving the results of study #1.
Rather, make each study that you introduce a paragraph on its own.
