Smith et al., 2002 (First and middle initials with family name) J. Smith et al., 2002 (first initial with family name)
9、smith et al., 2002 (lower case of the first letter of the family name) John et al., 2002 (first name) van et al., 2002 (incomplete family name) Van Gundy et al., 2002 (upper case of first letter of the family name which should be in lower case) Li et al., 1999 (for two-author citations, both authors

Particularly, when you refer to something as si
12、ngles, you must use an article in the front of the word. For example, you can say “a gene” or “the gene”, but NOT “gene” alone in the following sentence:“We cloned a gene related to PCD” or “we cloned the gene related to PCD” (correct)You can not say, “We clone gene related to PCD” (wrong).“We clone
13、d one gene related to PCD” is a weird expression (not allowed in most cases).Also, you should say,“We clone genes related to PCD” or “we clone the genes related to PCD” (correct)Styles: Strongly suggest you use Times THROUGHOUT your manuscript unless for symbols (e.g., M or ) Font: text should be at
