The following checklist will help you prepare your manuscript that conforms to the journal style before submission. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS Read the Journal’s Instructions for Authors at www.scienceasia.org and make sure that the manuscript (text, tables, figures, and photographs) meets Journal requirements. The manuscript contains the main sections outlined in Journal’s Instructions for Authors, e.g., Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgments and References. Spell-check the manuscript. TITLE PAGE The title of the manuscript is short and descriptive and does not contain abbreviation. Names of all authors and their affiliations and complete addresses are included. Name of corresponding author with affiliation, complete address and email address is included. Provide 3-5 indexing terms not mentioned in the title. TEXT FORMAT The manuscript is in single column (not double column) format. Abstract is brief (one paragraph of no more than 250 words), descriptive (a summary of the major findings in the manuscript) and accessible (jargon-free and clear to the readers). No references cited in the Abstract. The pages are numbered consecutively beginning from the title page. Document has continuous line numbers from start to finish. The same data are not presented in both Tables and Figures. Terms that are abbreviated are written out completely the first time they are used, and then abbreviated thereafter. REFERENCES References contain article titles. References are numbered consecutively in order of appearance in the text. All references referred to in the text are included in the list of references. The references cited are current and up-to-date. All references are formatted according to the style of the journal. Use et al. with the citation that has eight or more authors. The volume numbers of the journals are bold face letter. Personal communications or unpublished observations, if really needed, are not included as references. TABLES AND FIGURES All Tables and Figures are numbered consecutively in the order of their initial citation in the text. All Tables and Figures are prepared according to the journal format. All Tables and Figures referred to or mentioned are within the text. Figures and Tables are numbered with Arabic numerals. Figure Legends are written in the ordinary manuscript and not on the Figures. All symbols and abbreviations are defined in the Figure Legends. All Figures that are graphs and maps (not photos) are supplied as EPS (encapsulated postscript) or PDF files generated directly from the graph or map drawing program. The files are not converted from another format.
