- FSHS Scientific Notes - contains instructions for Scientific Notes, p.2 has a sample scientific note
- Abstracts with a doi for published refereed papers with a doi link
- Abstracts with a link for published papers (not necessarily refereed) with a link
- Place all tables and figures at the very end of the document or in one or more separate files with the same filename as your paper (V-35 Lamberts Tables; V-35 Lamberts Fig 1; V-35 Lamberts Fig 2, etc.). Make sure words, numbers, etc. in figures are large enough to read easily.
- Consult the FSHS Literature Cited Chart for detailed examples showing the correct formatting. This is a complete revision and saves the Editor hours of redoing your references.
