The template specifies referencing practices, section heading conventions, and detailed requirements for title, structured abstract, methods, results, discussion, and keyword selection. Additional guidance addresses African relevance content, numbering and style rules, statistical description, ethics statement inclusion, and reference list consistency.","Before you start\nSpacing, font, and font size are accounted for when this template is used.\nSet your word processor to English (United Kingdom).\nA maximum of 3000 words (excluding title, abstract, tables, figures and references) are allowed.\nA maximum of five tables or figures are allowed.\nFootnotes must not be used.

When used, each heading should appear on its own separate line in italics.  Subsection headings are inserted as follow:\nSubsection heading (Calibri italic font 12, Heading 3)\nEnsure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Include the reference in parenthesis after the full stop of the sentence carrying the reference.  Here is an example.(1) Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text.  These should be limited to a minimum. When an author or publication is named in the text, they should be referenced immediately example “Sheldon(1) has published extensively……”\n\u000f\nTitle of Your Manuscript (Title Case: Font Calibri Bold 16, Heading 1)\nAbstract (Section Heading: Font Calibri Bold 14, Heading 2)\nIntroduction: Provide a concise, structured and factual abstract of no more than 300 words is required. The abstract should briefly state the purpose of the research. Try to avoid the use of abbreviations; if repeated more than three times in the abstract, provide the full spelling once, then abbreviate (abbrev). Use Font Calibri 11, normal text.\nMethods: Briefly state the methods relevant to results included in the abstract.\nResults: Briefly state the sample size and the principal results.\nDiscussion: Briefly state the major conclusions of the work and its relevance.\nKeywords (Section Heading: Font Calibri Bold 14, Heading 2)\nProvide a maximum of six keywords, using American spelling and avoiding general and plural terms, and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, \"and\", \"of\"). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
