\maketitle
\section{Introduction}
Global Science Today publishes research across scientific disciplines.
The introduction should explain the context, identify the research question
and state the purpose of the study. Citations use Vancouver numbering in
round parentheses, as demonstrated here \citep{lamport1994}.
\section{Materials and Methods}
Describe the study design, materials and analytical procedures in sufficient
detail for the work to be evaluated and reproduced.
\subsection{Equations}
Equations may be included inline, such as $E=mc^2$, or displayed and numbered:
\begin{equation}
\bar{x}=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_i .
\label{eq:mean}
\end{equation}
Equation~\eqref{eq:mean} gives the arithmetic mean.
\subsection{Tables}
\begin{table}[htbp]
\caption{Example presentation of study measurements.}
\label{tab:example}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{lcc}
\toprule
Group & Sample size & Mean value \\
\midrule
Control & 24 & 12.6 \\
Treatment & 25 & 15.8 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\section{Results}
Present the results clearly and in a logical sequence. Refer to each table,
figure and equation in the text. Table~\ref{tab:example} illustrates the
preferred table style. Figure~\ref{fig:example} demonstrates the placement of
a single-column scientific figure. Figure~\ref{fig:image-example} shows how to
include a separate image stored in the project's figures folder.
