The manuscript should be checked carefully to ensure that the spellings of the author’s names and the years are exactly the same in the text as given in the reference list.

  • Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list they should include a substitution of the publication date with either ‘Unpublished results or ‘Personal communication.

  • Rahman MA. 2011b. Screening of Trichoderma and …
  • If the author would like to cite a source that is cited in another document, it is always best to consult and cite the original source.
