explanation are P< 0.05, P< 0.01 and P< 0.001.
• In chemical formulae, valence of ions must be given as e.g. Ca2+ and CO2- 3, not
as Ca++or CO3 --.• Isotope numbers should precede the symbols, e.g. 18O.
• The repeated writing of complicated chemical formulae in the text is to be avoided
where reasonably possible; instead, the name of the compound followed by its
abbreviation (ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid, EDTA) should be given in full. The
abbreviation is to be used in the case of a very long name or in the case of a
compound being described as the end product of a gravimetric determination (e.g.
phosphate as P2O5).
Footnotes
Footnotes should be avoided unless absolutely essential. In most cases it should be
possible to incorporate the information in normal text. If used, they should be
numbered in the text, indicated by superscript numbers, and kept as short as
possible.
References
Please note: Requirements for citations in text and listing of authors names in
references have been changed, and will take effect for all papers submitted after 1
September 2007.
Responsibility for the accuracy of bibliographic citations lies entirely with the authors.
The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spelling of authors'
names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list. Please
ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list at the
end of the manuscript (and vice versa).All citations in the text should refer to:
1. Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and
the year of publication;
2. Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication;
3. Three or more authors: first author's name followed by et al. and the year of
publication. Citations may be made directly or parenthetically. Groups of references
should be listed first alphabetically, then chronologically. Examples: "as
demonstrated (Allan, 1996a, b, 1999; Allan and Jones, 1995). Kramer et al. (2000)
have recently shown..." The list of references must be arranged alphabetically on
authors' names, and should be as full as possible, listing all authors, the full title of
articles and full title of journals, publisher and year. Titles of periodicals mentioned in
the list of references must be spelled out in full. In the case of publications in any
language other than English, the original title is to be retained. However, the titles of
publications in non-Latin alphabets should be transliterated, and a notation such as
"(in Russian)" or "(in Greek, with English abstract)" should be added. References
concerning unpublished data and "personal communications" must not be cited in the
reference list but may be mentioned in the text, giving the full details (name and
affiliation of the contact). References included in the reference list as "in press"
should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a
substitution of the publication data with "in press". Citation of a reference as "in
press" implies that the item has been accepted for publication. In the final publication,
material referenced as "submitted" is not acceptable - if it cannot be referenced as "in
press" then the text needs to be revised to state "unpublished results" and the
