- ABSTRACT (in English) 

The Abstract, in English language, should provide basic data on the problem that was treated and the results obtained. It should be brief, preferably one paragraph only, up to 250 words, but sufficient to inform the reader of the character of the work, its results and its conclusions.

The introduction should answer the questions what was studied, why was it an important question, what was known about it before and how the study will advance our knowledge.

 

- MATERIAL AND METHODS 

Material and methods explain how the study was carried: description of the study site, including the significant physical and biological features, and the precise location (latitude and longitude, map, etc); the experimental or sampling design; the protocol for collecting data; how the data were analyzed. In this section also should be provided a clear description of instruments and equipment, machines, devices, chemicals, diagnostic kits, plants/animals studied, technology of growing/housing, sampling sites, software used etc.

 

- RESULTS followed by DISCUSSION 

Results and Discussion may be combined into a single section (if appropriate) or it can be a separate section. The results objectively present key results, without interpretation, in an orderly and logical sequence using both text and illustrative materials (tables and figures).

The discussion interpret results in light of what was already known about the subject of the investigation, and explain new understanding of the problem after taking results into consideration.

The International System of Units (SI) should be used.

 

- CONCLUSIONS 

The conclusion should present a clear and concise review of experiments and results obtained, with possible reference to the enclosures.

Bibliographic style

e.g. Westergard, C. 2015. Farmland Valuation: A Net Present Value Approach Using Simulation. Kansas State University, Manhattan. (MA thesis)

·         When the journal is cited the article title is in roman and lower case except for the initial capital letter. The journal title is italicized and with initial capital letters. Data are ordered as follows: volume number, (issue number in parentheses) followed by a colon and a space, page numbers.

e.g. Peralta, I.E. & Spooner, D. M. (2001): Granule – bound starch synthase (Gbssi) gene phylogeny of wild tomatoes (Solanum L. section Lycopersicon Mill. Wettst. subsection Lycopersicon). American Journal of Botany, 88(10): 1888-1902.

·         When the book is cited the city (place of publication) comes before the publisher. When the city is the capital, the country is normally omitted. Note that in references United States and United Kingdom may be abbreviated to USA and UK. Note also that 200 pp. = 200 pages, whereas p. = page (singular). The first word of the book title takes an initial capital letter followed by lower-case initial letters (like the article title in the first example).

e.g. Bethke, C.L. (1993): Growing media. In J. W. White, editor. Geraniums IV, pp.3-23. Geneva, Ball Publishing, Illinois, USA.
