GUIDE FOR AUTHORS BIOTROPIA, The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology is a scientific publication of the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) – Southeast Asian Regional Center for Tropical Biology (BIOTROP). It publishes articles in the broad areas of tropical ecosystems and environmental impacts, biodiversity conservation and sustainable development, and environmental and forest biotechnology, covering all aspects of the discipline biology. Articles published in the journal are papers reporting results of original research, reviews on specific topics not available elsewhere in up-to-date form and short communication in which advances in knowledge of significance are briefly announced. Submission of paper is taken to imply that it has not been submitted to other journals and that, if accepted, will not be published elsewhere. All papers submitted for publication in BIOTROPIA are evaluated by reviewers/experts in the field and subjected to editorial revision. Authors may suggest names of potential reviewers. BIOTROPIA uses anonymous reviewing, in which the identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential. MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION Manuscript in the Microsoft Word file should be sent through our Open Journal Systems (OJS) address: http://journal.biotrop.org/index.php/biotropia or through our email publication@biotrop.org. While for authors who do not have internet access, they could submit their manuscripts by airmail including the digital file (CD) to the Editor-in-Chief, BIOTROPIA, SEAMEO BIOTROP, Jl. Raya Tajur Km 6, Bogor 16134, Indonesia. BIOTROPIA publishes the following article types: • Research article

A full article is expected to present an original and important major advance in bioscience having wide research scheme and deep discussion of the findings. Structure of the article consists of Introduction, Materials and Method, Results, Discussion, and References (see Manuscript Format in details). The article should be typed in paper length of 15 pages or 3000 – 4500 words (including figures and tables). Papers, in English, with spelling conforming to the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English, should be typed in 12 point Times New Roman font, double-spaced and with margins on all four sides of 2 cm on standard A4 paper. Manuscript submitted in computer diskettes should conform to the margin requirement. • Short communication

These should differ from full papers on the basis of scope or completeness, rather than quality of research. They may report significant new data arising from problems with narrow, well-defined limits, or important findings that warrant rapid publication before broader studies are complete. Their text should neither exceed 1500 words (approximately 6 pages of typescript) nor be divided up into conventional sections. When submitting Short Communication, authors should make it clear that their work is to be treated as such. MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION Overview of manuscript sections for Research article Manuscripts for Research article articles submitted to BIOTROPIA should be divided into the following sections (in this order):

1

• • • • • • • • • • • • •

Title page The title page should: • • • • provide the title of the article list the full names, institutional addresses and email addresses for all authors indicate the corresponding author indicate a running title

Abstract The Abstract of the manuscript should not exceed 350 words and must be structured into separate sections: Background, the context and purpose of the study; Results, the main findings; Conclusions, brief summary and potential implications. Please minimize the use of abbreviations and do not cite references in the abstract. Keywords Three to ten keywords representing the main content of the article. Background The Background section should be written in a way that is accessible to researchers without specialist knowledge in that area and must clearly state - and, if helpful, illustrate - the background to the research and its aims. The section should end with a brief statement of what is being reported in the article. Standard chemical symbols and abbreviations may be used in the text, but full term should given when first mention. Units of measurements should be spelled out except when preceded by a numeral. If no-metric measurement units are used the metric equivalent should be mentioned. The complete scientific name of every organism must be cited when it is first mentioned in the text. The generic name may be abbreviated thereafter, except when there are references to other genera with the same initial. The use of common names must be accompanied by the correct scientific name on first use. Example : a. b. c. Sourgrass (Paspalum conjugatum) P. conjugatum Paspalum conjugatum and Pinus merkusii

2

Results and discussion The Results and discussion may be combined into a single section or presented separately. The Results and discussion sections may also be broken into subsections with short, informative headings. Conclusions This should state clearly the main conclusions of the research and give a clear explanation of their importance and relevance. Summary illustrations may be included. Methods The methods section should include the design of the study, the type of materials involved, a clear description of all comparisons, and the type of analysis used, to enable replication. For studies involving human participants a statement detailing ethical approval and consent should be included in the methods section. Acknowledgements Please acknowledge anyone who contributed towards the article by making substantial contributions to conception, design, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data, or who was involved in drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for important intellectual content, but who does not meet the criteria for authorship. Please also include the source(s) of funding for each author, and for the manuscript preparation. Authors must describe the role of the funding body, if any, in design, in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data; in the writing of the manuscript; and in the decision to submit the manuscript for publication.

How to Spot a Fake Rolex

...HOW TO SPOT A REPLICA! THE ROLEX GUIDE The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex USA. No Part of The Rolex Guide may be reproduced or resold without the authors permission 1 INTRODUCTION Genuine brand watches can cost anything from £500.00 to £100,000.00, as most people cannot afford the real thing a much cheaper alternative is to buy a replica. Replica watches are, quite simply, imitations of the more expensive brand named watches, at a mere fraction of the price. These imitations have the same general look, feel and ability, at a much more acceptable price. The quality of a replica can vary depending on the cost. A £20.00 replica would obviously be of a far better quality than a replica costing £400.00 and much easier to identify. This guide is mainly based on Rolex wrist watches as they carry the largest number of replicas in the market place. Some Omega examples are also included. This guide will show you how to avoid the replicas, as it states this is a guide and should be used for that purpose only. If you are unsure of a watches authenticity then don’t buy it. The only way to be 110% sure its not a replica is to be direct from a Rolex dealer. The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex USA.

Review of R.K.Narayanan's Guide

Like most of his other novels, R.K.Narayanan has spun this novel also, revolving in the fictional town Malgudi in South India. R.K.Narayanan has written many books that include semi-autobiographical books like Swami and his friends, The English Teacher and his book The Financial Expert is considered as one of the most original works of 1951.This novel The Guide portrays the transformation of the lead Raju, from a corrupt tourist guide to a highly revered holy man in the country. The novel describes the story of Raju, a young witty boy who lost his father in early days. He takes charge of the shop left by his father in the Malgudi railway station. Soon after losing his interest in the shop, Raju calls himself to be a guide and in a little while becomes a famous tourist guide in Malgudi called as “Railway Raju”. Everything is fine until the disgruntled couple Rosie and her husband Marco comes to the place. A glimpse of Rosie was enough for Raju to fall for her, a dancer whose passion for dance was never recognized by her husband Marco, a lonely writer who stares at walls as named by Raju. Further situations which creates rift between the couple favors Raju. Raju and Rosie start to live together against the wishes of Raju’s mother.

EasyChair is a free conference management system that is flexible, easy to use, and has many features to make it suitable for various conference models. It is currently probably the most commonly used conference management system (Voronkov, 2004). The use of EasyChair and this style for creating Procedia volumes is a pilot project between Elsevier Science and EasyChair. EasyChair publications accept documents written either in LaTeX or using a docx document format, which can be produced by Microsoft Word or LibreOffice. This guide explains how to produce the docx format in Microsoft Word. To achieve high quality of volumes, both LaTeX and Word documents should have the same layout and similar styles.

Harvard referencing style has many varieties. This version has been developed to ensure conformity with the basic Harvard referencing conventions and in relation to feedback from HBS lecturers and students. Accurate referencing is ESSENTIAL because: 1) Your work must be ‘evidenced' with references to appropriate academic theory and practitioner experience. 2) Your reader must be able to see which ideas and words are your own and which are not. 3) Your lecturer must be able to check your sources and see which ones you have used to support your assertions. 4) Your lecturer needs to see if you have read and understood course material and how you have used the work of others to develop your own ideas. 5) Other readers might want to find and read some of the sources you have used. 6) If you do not reference, you might be accused of stealing the work/ideas of others - this is plagiarism. Revised: 03/10/14 1 © HBS CASE, 2014.
