should be written in extenso and with lower-case letter<br />
type. In the text refer to the author’s name and year <strong>of</strong><br />
publication (followed by pages only if it is a quotation).<br />
If a publication is written by more than two authors, the<br />
name <strong>of</strong> the first author should be used followed by “et<br />
al.” (this indication, however, should never be used in<br />
the list <strong>of</strong> references: first author and co-authors should<br />
be mentioned in it). Examples: “Since Dupont (1962)<br />
has shown that…”, or “This is in agreement with previous<br />
results (Durand et al. 1990; Dupond & Dupont<br />
1997)…”.<br />

AND LATIN WORDS<br />
Explanation <strong>of</strong> a technical abbreviate is required when<br />
the first use. <strong>International</strong> convention codes for nomenclature<br />
should be used. Latin words should be in italic<br />
(et al., a priori, etc.), particularly for plants or animals’denomination<br />
(the first time, please precise author’s<br />
name: for example, Olea europaea L.).<br />
FIGURES AND TABLES<br />
All illustrations should be submitted separately and they<br />
should be preceded by the figures and tables legends on<br />
a separate page. Figures and tables should be sent ready<br />
to be printed, so their size should be 16 × 22 cm or<br />
8 × 22 cm maximum. All the illustrations being in-text<br />
should be cited, increasing numbered, and should have<br />
a legend. Computerised table columns should not be represented<br />
by signs (: or |).<br />
