Lists should be used sparingly, and acronyms and abbreviations should be clarified where necessary.

When submitting your research for publication, please consider the following guidelines:

Figures & Tables
Figures, including graphs and diagrams, must be professionally presented. If a figure is not easy to understand or does not appear to be of a suitable quality, the editor may ask to re-render or omit it.
All figures must be cited within the main text, in consecutive order, using Arabic numerals (e.g., Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.).
Each figure must have an accompanying descriptive main title. This should clearly and concisely summarise the figure image’s content and/or use

. A short additional figure legend is optional to offer a further description.

Replace the entirety of this text with the main body of your chapter. The body is where the author explains experiments and presents and interprets data from one’s research. Authors are free to decide how the main body will be structured. However, you are required to have at least one heading. Please ensure that your chapter uses British or American English consistently. 
Citing Sources
 
When you are citing sources, the citations should be set in numbered format. All the references given in the list should be cited in the body of the text. Please set citations in square brackets, keeping the following points in mind: 

Correct format: [4–6, 9]; [1, 2]Incorrect format: [4-6,9], [4, 5, 6, 9], [4] [5] [6] [9]; [1–2]The numbers should be listed in sequential order.

Figures and Tables  
Figures must be high resolution (300 dpi or higher). Acceptable image formats are .JPEG, .PNG, .TIFF, .BMP, .EPS, .WMF, EMF, or .PDF. Make sure to number your figures accordingly. Figures should not exceed 130mm (5,118 inches) in width and 184 mm (7,244 inches) in height. Larger figures will be resized to fit within the appropriate dimensions.
Insert the figure caption beneath the Figure itself. The legend will be placed beneath the figure caption if not part of the figure. When referring to a figure in the body of the text, the word “Figure” is used. The order of main citations of figures in the text must be sequential. Tables should not be submitted in image formats (i.e., .jpeg, .tiff). All tables must be in Portrait orientation and max 130mm (5,118 inches) wide.
Insert the table caption beneath the table. The table legend is to be placed beneath the table caption if not part of the table..
All figures and tables must be cited in the text by number (e.g., Figure 1, Table 1). The full word is used, not the abbreviation (e.g.,

“Tab.”, “Fig”). The order of main citations of figures and tables in the text must be sequential, from 1 to n, where n marks the last figure/table in the chapter.Correct: Figure 1, Figure 2, Table 6, Table 8Incorrect: Fig 1.1, Figure 1.1, Tab 4.3., Table 4.3.Important! To reuse figures and tables that have already been published elsewhere you are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s), for both the print and online format.Videos

You may submit supplemental video material for your chapter, which will be featured as a link inside the text.
Always put a placeholder text in the body of your manuscript, where you would like to have the video link placed. Video links can also be placed in an unnumbered section titled “Video materials” at the end of the chapter.
Any video file must be cited or referred to in the main text of your manuscript (i.e.,

Video 1, Video 2).Allowed video file formats are: QuickTime movie (.mov); Audio file (.wav); MPEG/MPG animation (.mpg, .mp4)Max size: 50 MB.

Please note that the video and audio cannot be embedded, even in the online version of the chapter. The video must be uploaded as a separate file in a zipped archive. 

Example: Video 1 available from (can be viewed at) http://bit.ly/29nKuLh

Equations  
Use equation-editor programs such as “MathType” or “Microsoft equation.”
Manuscripts with the equations imported as image formats (e.g., .jpeg, .tiff) are NOT accepted and will be returned to the Author for corrections. Equations must be numbered sequentially, with Arabic numerals in brackets, from 1 upwards. (e.g. (1)). When referring to a specific equation, please use the next abbreviation (Eq. (1)). 

Acronyms and Abbreviations

Spell out acronyms for first use with the abbreviations following in parentheses.

If a term/expansion is a proper noun (i.e., the name of an organization, university, standard test and questionnaire, etc.), it should be set in Title Case. Examples: Central for Disease Control (CDC), University of Delhi, Delhi (UDD).

In the case of just a normal expansion of an acronym and not a proper noun, the term should be set as sentence case. Examples: polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), coefficient of performance (COP), and genetic algorithm (GA).
Do not format the terms with boldface or italics, like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or quality assurance (QA). Commonly used acronyms (e.g.,

MRI, UNICEF, etc.) do not need to be explained. Subsections

You chapter will be divided into subsections. Please number section headings based on their hierarchy, with Arabic numbering.


 


For example:


 



  1. Introduction

  2. Control and eradication strategies for animal brucellosis


          2.1 Management and biosecurity


          2.2 Test and slaughter programs


          2.2.1 Indirect diagnostic tests



  1. Conclusions


Appendices and Nomenclature


Place appendix and nomenclature before the

Reference list.
Conclusion(s)
It is preferable to include a Conclusion(s) section, which will summarize the content of the book chapter.
Acknowledgments
Replace the entirety of this text with acknowledgments. Usually, the acknowledgments section includes the names of people or institutions who, in some way, contributed to the work but do not fit the criteria to be listed as the authors.

The authorship criteria are listed in our Authorship Policy: https://www.intechopen.com/page/authorship-policy.

This section of your manuscript may also include funding information.

Conflict of Interest

 “The authors declare no conflict of interest.”

Notes/Thanks/Other declarations

Place any other declarations, such as “Notes,” “Thanks,” etc. before the References section. Assign the appropriate heading. Do NOT put your short biography in this section. It will be removed.
References Replace the entirety of this text with your references. IntechOpen Book Chapter Layout uses the numbered citation method for reference formatting, with sequential numbering in the text and respective ordering in a list at the end of the paper.
The list should contain at least five references and be arranged in the order of citation in the text, not in alphabetical order.
List only one reference per reference number.

Phrases such as “For example” should not introduce references in the list but should instead be given in square brackets in the text, followed by the reference number (i.e.,“For example, see [5].”)Commas should separate multiple citations within a single set of brackets. Where there are three or more sequential citations, they should be given as a range [2, 7-9, 13]. Therefore, formatting the references properly is crucial.
