Chapter contents:

Symbols and Abbreviations:

With respect to symbols in the book/thesis, System International (SI) should be used. Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.

Acknowledgments:
Acknowledgments of people involved, national or international grants and/or funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the reference list in each chapter.

The manuscript should be checked carefully to ensure that the spellings of the authors’ 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• Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text.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references are included in the reference list they should include a substitution of the publication date with either ‘Unpublished results’ or ‘Personal communication’.
• Citation of a reference as ‘in press’ implies that the item has been accepted for publication.

Citation in the text

• In-text citations appear in brackets, and consist of the author(s) last name, as well as the document’s year of publication (e.g. Rahman 2012). The end reference list appears in alphabetical order by author last name.
• If the author’s name is clearly mentioned in the text, it can be directly followed by the year of publication, in parentheses: Zakaria (2020) isolated and identified 5 species of Trichoderma from the rhizosphere of rubber trees in Malaysia, namely…..

(Rahman 2011a, 2011b).

Use the same designators in the reference list: …

Rahman MA. 2011a. Isolation and Identification…

• 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. The original author can be acknowledged within the text, but only the item seen appears in the reference list. … (Rahman, 2001, cited in Alam, 2010) or … Alam (2010) describes Rahman 2001 study on… In this example, the reference list would include only Alam work: Alam, M.
