Modern scientific nomenclature

Modern scientific nomenclature really began with Linnaeus in botany1, but other disciplines2,3 were not many years behind in developing various systems4-7 for nomenclature and symbolization.

Then prepare a bibliography listing the sources for the numbered citations in the same order.
2) Name –year method. This method lists the source of information at the point of each citation. The author(s)* and the date (year), offset in parentheses or brackets, follow immediately after the cited information .

Example: By contrast, the several antisera that have been raised against Sp1, a defined RNA polymerase II transcription factor (Kadonaga 1986), stain exclusively the nucleus . . .
For different numbers of Authors:
One author: (Field 2005)
Two authors: (Gass and Varonis 1984)
More than two authors: (Munro et al. 2006)

No author: If the author cannot be determined use the article title (for long titles use the first few words followed by …):
Top fields of study for international students are business and engineering, followed by physical and life sciences, math and computer science, and social sciences (Open Doors 2010).
No date: For online sources if the publication year cannot be determined use the year of access. For print sources use [date unknown]:(Smith [date unknown])

Bibliographical citations are ordered alphabetically by the first author’s last names.

Citations in the bibliography listed at the end of the paper are done as follows:

Books:
C-S : Author(s), chapter title, source (book title), editors (if any), publisher, city, , date and pages.

N-Y: Author(s..), date, chapter title, source (book title), editors (if any), publisher, city, and pages.

Periodical (Journal) articles:
C-S: Author(s), article title, source (periodical name), volume, pages and date.
