    Example: Miller G, Singh R, Patel K et al. (2023). Advances in Material Science. J Mater Sci. 58(2): 105-117. (Note: Please clarify required Journal Name Abbreviation standard [e.g., ISO4, PubMed] and confirm bracket usage for Volume/Issue).

  • Book: Author(s) Last name, Initials (Year). Full Title of Book. [Edition, if not 1st]. Publisher. Place of Publication.

    Example: Jones P, Davis B (2022). Principles of Modern Chemistry. [2nd ed.]. Academic Press. London.

• (In-Text Citations): These guidelines do not specify how to cite references within the text (e.g., numbers [1], author-year (Jones, 2022)). Please clarify this requirement.
