Examples of reference citation are as follow:

Units: SI units should be used throughout, always be written in roman and separated from the numerical value by a space. The µ in µg or µm is always in roman. The symbol for litre is l and that for minute is min. The unit of ton should be written as Mg. As the ångstöm (1 Å = 10^-10m) is not an SI unit, it should be replaced by the nanometer (1 nm = 10^-9 m) or by the picometer (1 pm = 10^-12 m): 1 Å = 0.1 nm = 100 pm. Multiple units should be written with negative superscripts (for example, 25 mg l^-1s^-1).

Nomenclature: The Latin binomial or trinomial and authority must be used for plants, animals, and microorganisms when they are first used in both abstract and text. For soil nomenclature, international classification system (e.g. FAO-UNESCO system or USDA Soil Taxonomy) may be included as reference, when a local classification is presented. For chemical nomenclature, recommendation by the convention of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry should be followed.
