The text (Abstract, Introduction, Methods and Materials, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, and Literature Cited) is restricted to twelve (12) pages, double-spaced on one side of 8 1/2" by 11" (21.3cm by 27.5cm) paper, including analysis of data and illustrations. When additional data, charts/graphs, or illustrations are desired, they may be placed in appendices. The paper plus the appendices may not exceed twenty (20) pages. This limit does not include the three VJAS cover forms (Pages ONE, TWO, and THREE). Sections of the paper should immediately follow one another rather than starting on a separate page. The Student Entry Form will be used in place of a title page.

   "Literature Cited" must contain at least three non-web citations
