The accuracy of all references needs to be checked by the author. Authors need to ensure that the cited references in the text match the list of references at the end of the article.
The authors can use the Reference Manager Softwares.
Quick guide for References
Citations in the text
References should be cited in the text by the last name(s) of the author(s) and year of publication as shown in the Table.

Reference list
The references should be listed alphabetically. The references published by the same author(s) should be sorted chronologically. The list of References should be included after the final section of the main article body. Multiple papers by the same author published in one year should be ordered as they appear in the text and indicated by a single letter after the year (e.g. 2008a, 2008b, 2008c). It is strongly recommended to check each citation in the text against the references and vice versa to ensure that they match exactly. Authors are encouraged to cite only published, significant, and up-to-date references in their papers. Before submitting, it is desirable to add a DOI (digital object identifier) for the cited papers, wherever possible (visit the following link: http://www.crossref.org/SimpleTextQuery). For the papers in other languages than English (and other languages with the Latin alphabet) but having a translated English summary, title, or abstract, cite the “original” translation. If there is no such translation, use an English translation in brackets [ ] and indicate the original language in parentheses (e.g., Chinese, Persian, Russian) at the end. Issue numbers (in parentheses) can be ignored, except in cases where the separate issues were numbered separately or appeared in different years. The author and year of description for each taxon should be separated by a comma when cited in the text, but only listed in large monographs and taxonomic revisions.
Journal titles should be italicized and unabbreviated. Please note the journal titles and volume numbers are followed by a comma ","; page ranges are connected by “n dash”, not hyphen “-”, which is used to connect two words. Hyphens are used to link words such as personal names, while n dash “-” (the length of an 'n') is used to link spans like sizes, dates, and page numbers (e.g., 1999–2011; figs 4–8; pp. 372–379; 1.5–2.5X).
