Guidelines
for Paper Preparation for Workshop Proceedings
(required

(available in pdf format here)
1.
Style and Format
Manuscripts, written in clear concise English, should be typed in double spacing
throughout. It is recommended that articles be subdivided into Abstract, Introduction,
Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements and References.
The length of the entire manuscript should be no more than twelve pages, including
tables, figures and references. The text should be formatted with an 11 point
Arial font. Headings (Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results,
Discussion, Acknowledgements and References) should be in bold typeface. Subheadings
should be in italics, e.g. Experiment 1.
2.
Titles, Author's Name and Affiliation
These should be included in the first page. The title should be concise, but
informative. A running title of not more than ten words should be supplied.
Author's affiliation(s) should bear the full name(s) of the Department(s)
and Institutions(s) and full postal address(es).
3.
Abstract (to be submitted by 31st August 2001)
An informative abstract not exceeding 300 words should be provided below the
author's affiliation on the first page.
4.
Key Words
A list of 3-5 key words is to be provided directly below the Abstract.
5. Footnotes
Do not use footnotes in the text. Indicate table footnotes with superscript
lowercase letters. Type table footnotes alphabetically in separate paragraphs
at the bottom of each table.
6. Nomenclature
The use of scientific names in italics is preferred throughout the text. When
common names are used, they should conform to the standard usage. The first
time a common name is used it should be accompanied by the scientific name
and the author. Also, for insects, include order and family at the first mention
of its binomial in the text. For pesticides, use the accepted common name.
If the chemical is new and does not have a common name, use its trade name
with the first letter capitalized.
7.
Use of Units and Abbreviations
Use the metric system and avoid national units of measurement.
8.
Tables and Figures
Tables should be self-explanatory and figures should be of publishing quality.
Tables and Figures should each be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals
and referred to in the text as Table 1, Figure 1, etc. Prepare tables without
vertical lines between columns. Single 1 point horizontal lines should be
placed above and below table headings and at the end of tables. Table and
Figure headings should be in bold typeface. Tables should be typed in numerical
order individually, on separate pages and numbered consecutively with Arabic
numerals. All tables must have a clear and concise heading and should be self
explanatory without reference to the text. Number all illustrations consecutively
with Arabic numerals. Legends should be typed together on a separate page,
double-spaced. Do not incorporate the legend into the figure itself.
9.

Only publications cited in the text should be given in the references. Unpublished
data should not be cited. Personal communications, although not encouraged,
may be cited when essential to the text. Give references in the text as follows:
