Dissertação Paula Mattanna - UFSM

corresponding author should be identified with an asterisk and footnote. All other
footnotes (except for table footnotes) should be identified with superscript Arabic
numbers. Underline words that should be in italics, and do not underline any other
words. The usage of italics should be limited to microbiological terms. Use the
computer automatic return at the end of lines; use double returns after the end of
paragraphs only. Manuscripts in general should be organized in the following order:
• Title (should be clear, concise, and should unambiguously reflect the paper's
contents)
• Name(s) of author(s)
• Complete postal address (es) of affiliations
• Full telephone number, fax number and e-mail address of the corresponding author
• Present address (es) of author(s) if applicable
• Complete correspondence address to which the proofs should be sent
• Abstract - each paper must be submitted with an Abstract not exceeding 150 words,
reporting concisely on the major findings. Many abstracting services use abstracts
without modification, so this section should be comprehensible in its own right.
References should not be cited. Abbreviations should be avoided; if absolutely
necessary they must be defined.
• Introduction - briefly review important prior publications and state the reasons for
the investigation being reported.
• Materials and methods - description of methods, equipment and techniques
(including statistical treatments used in the research)
• Results
• Discussion (may be combined with the results section) • Conclusions (must not
reiterate any discussion or introductory comments, they must be genuine conclusions
drawn from the results of the study)
• Acknowledgements and any additional information concerning research grants, etc.
•Appendix (e.g. list of abbreviations used)
• References
• Tables
• Figure captions
•Illustrations/figures.
Note: Keywords are no longer required for submissions to International Dairy Journal
Following the Introduction, authors are free to structure papers as appropriate.
However, for the sake of clarity and uniformity, the above or similar section headings
are recommended. If necessary, each section may be divided into further
subsections, but do not use more than two levels for subtitles. The Materials and
Methods section must provide enough detail that a competent worker can repeat the
experiments. However, detailed descriptions of well-known methods should be
avoided in the experimental section. References to the relevant literature are
sufficient. The Results section should present clearly and succinctly the most
important research results including statistical significance of the data being reported.
The Discussion should not be a compilation of current literature, but a consideration
of the significance and consequences of the authors' present findings. Each paper
should contain a paragraph of Conclusions summarising the main aspects of the
research being reported.
