Guideline for Full Paper Preparation (This guideline is applied for full paper of the conference proceedings only)

General requirements  Only the manuscript on original research will be considered for publication in the proceedings of the conference.  Use English language (American spelling and usage) and the SI system for measurements and units.  Total length of full paper (including abstract, Tables & Figures) should NOT EXCEED 8 PAGES typed on one-sided A4 paper.  Manuscript should include the following elements: title, name(s) of authors (s) and author affiliation (s), abstract, key words, introduction, materials & methods, results and discussions, conclusions, acknowledgement (optional), and references.  Number all pages.  Number all lines consecutively throughout the manuscript.  Use Times New Roman font type and one inch margins throughout the manuscript.  Use single line spacing for abstract text and 1.5 line spacing for other components of the manuscript.  Detail of font style and size are shown in Template of full paper for the conference proceedings (see another file).

Title  The title should be concise and clearly define the topic and contain no abbreviations

Name of author (s) and author affiliation (s) 2

 List ALL authors. Spell out completely the names of all authors using full first and last names. Corresponding author should be marked with asterisk*.  Indicate affiliation of each author.  Electronic mailing address of corresponding author must be provided.

Abstract  Single paragraph abstract is required.  Abstract text must not exceed 350 words, define all acronyms and abbreviations; do not cite references.  The abstract should be informative. The content of the abstract should contain:  Introduction: briefly explain the importance of the topic and state the objective(s) of your work.  Materials and Methods: briefly state what was done and how it was done.  Results: A summary of the main findings. Abstract without any results will not be considered for publication in the proceedings.  Conclusion: Indicate the significance and application of the research findings.

Key words  Provide a maximum of 5 key words for indexing purposes.  Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible.

Introduction  Review pertinent work.  Explain importance of the research and state the objective(s) of the work.  Cite key references.  The in-text citation/reference should follow the examples and explanations below:  When the author’s name is part of the sentence structure, the citation consists of the year (in parenthesis) immediately following the name. Use “and others” rather than “et al.” In citations that are totally parenthetical, do not separate author and 3

year with a comma. Use commas to separate publications in different years by the same author. Cite two or more publications of different authors in chronological sequence, from earliest to latest. Separate publications with commas.  Examples ● Smith (1943) showed that . . . ● The starch granules are normally elongated in the milk stage (Brown 1956). ● Dawson and Briggs (1984, 1987) showed that . . . . . ● Dawson (1984a, b) showed that . . . ● … some of which are glycosidically bound to the major sugars present in the fruit (Adedeji and others 1992, Sakho and others 1997, Lalel and others 2003a).

Materials and Methods  Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced.  Describe new methods in detail.  Methods already published should be indicated by a reference; only relevant modification should be described.  Use subheadings as needed for clarity.

Results and Discussion  Present results concisely using tables and figures as needed.  Do not present the same information in tables and figures.  Discuss principles and relationships and explore the significance of the work. DO NOT repeat the results of the work.

Acknowledgement (optional)  List sources of financial and material support and the names of individual whose contributions were significant but not deserving of authorship.
