The typical structured text of the work consists of Introduction, Material and Methods, Results and Discussion or Taxonomy and possibly Summary or Conclusion. Particular parts can be combined, if necessary (e.g. results with discussion). In justified cases, the structure may be simplified and in short communications, the text of the work need not be structured.

Black and white enclosures (drawings, graphs, maps, etc.) must be contrast, on quality white paper, arranged in tables and continuously numbered, at most twice as large as their resulting dimension in print (the dimension of the page composition pattern is of 12.6 x 18.7 cm) at least as large as the resulting dimension.
