APPENDIX
1) General Guidelines
One should type print on one side only and the size of the paper should be 8½
or
X 11 inches. The pages number should be consecutive and be at the top right corner. The
page number should begin from the title page but there shouldn't be page number on
title page.
The font size of the text should be 12-point and Times Roman or Courier typefaces. Use
only black toner. There should be indent paragraphs 5-7 spaces. The maximum number
of line per page should not be more than 27.
2) Headings
3) Numbers
From one to nine, write all numbers in words e.g. one, two, three, ....nine. From
10 and over use numerals for all numbers and never starts a sentence with a
number.
4) Seriation
Table
Percentage Contribution from RU and non RU universities
Numbers. Number all tables with Arabic numerals sequentially. Do not use suffix letters
(e.g. Table 3a, 3b, 3c); instead, combine the related tables. If the manuscript includes an
appendix with tables, identify them with capital letters and Arabic numerals (e.g. Table
A1, Table B2).
Titles. Like the title of the paper itself, each table must have a clear and concise title.
When appropriate, you may use the title to explain an abbreviation parenthetically.
Headings. Keep headings clear and brief. The heading should not be much wider than the
widest entry in the column. Use of standard abbreviations can aid in achieving that goal.
All columns must have headings, even the stub column (see example structure), which
customarily lists the major independent variables.

categorization of the indices between the factors (p. 743).

2006a; Bornmann et al, 2008; Moed, 2005). Therefore, we applied Egghe (2005a;
2005b) assumption that the relationship between any two indices is nonlinear and
can be described as a power function.

and the other (Np h) papers have no more than h citations each" (Hirsch, 2005a,
-
p. 16569)
For 40 or more than 40 words, write the text in a block form. Text should be
indented 5-7 spaces and no need to put the quotation marks. If the quotation has
internal paragraphs, indent the internal paragraphs further 5-7 spaces. Use single
space to write the block quote and cite the source after the end punctuation of the
The report, submitted by Key in 1956, suggested the need for strengthening
scientific libraries to the chain of laboratories of Pakistan Council of Scientific
and Industrial Research (PCSIR). The report emphasized the need for
maintenance of up to date libraries through a regular flow of scientific literature in
a country like Pakistan, where personal contacts with international scientists are
merely the absence of disease and infirmity" (World Health Organization, as cited
in Potter & Perry, 2001, р. 3).
10) Multiple Authors (Parenthetical Citations)
In case of two authors, cite both names and separated then by symbol & for
instance: (Saeed & Maryam, 1969, p. 137)
7
In case of 3 to 5 authors, first time cite all the authors and then use et al. For
example: (Willium et al., 2003)
For six or more authors, one has to cite first author's name and then et al. e.g:
(Pervaiz al., 1998)
et
11) Single author (Multiple Citations)
In case of multiple sources from a single author, citation should be put in
chronological order, separated by comma, for instance: (Burken, 1996, 1998, in
press)
When all publication are in the same year the same year: (Ali, 1997a, 1997b,
1997c, in press)
12) Multiple authors (Parenthetical Citations -Multiple Citations)
For multiple sources, authors should be separated by a semicolon, and should be
put in alphabetical order. For example: (Buker, 1968; Pervaiz, 1995; White, 2011)
13) Personal communication (not included in references)
Personal communication should also cite in the text. Example: (T.K. Aamer,
personal communication, October 14, 2011)
14) Handling Parenthetical Citations
Sometimes additional information is necessary... for instance;
When there is more than one author with the same last name
Afza (1975) investigated the information needs of scientists working in the Oil,
Fats and Waxes Division of the PCSIR laborites at Lahore using interview
method.
Recently, in a reviewing article, Anwar concluded that "land has barren since
1983" (2007, р. 28).
However, it is no more barren. Lately the research on information needs of
various communities has been explored by Muneera (2007) in her PHD study,
Khurum (2007) and Nazli (2001) in their master studies.
Another example when text is taken from the same source but not continue text
(in parts). Add ... for the missing text e.g. According to Evans (2000) "people
seek information from formal and informal system. Informal system provides the
bulk of individual's every day, or common, information". He pointed out that
"two important factors 'accessibility' and effort' is governed by law of least
M M A L
8
effort"...It means people required information which needed least effort both in
terms of time and money (e.g. material at hand; a person accessible; colleague
etc.)"(p. 33).
15) Reference List
The reference list of all cited sources should be placed at the end.
References should start on a new page and starts each entry flush with the
left margin, indent subsequent lines five to seven spaces (hanging indent).
Use double space both within and between entries and Italicize the title of
books, magazines, etc.
Capitalize only the first word of the title, the first word after a colon or
dash, and proper nouns in titles of books, articles, etc.
Capitalize all major words and all words of four letters or more in
periodical titles.
Order of the Reference List
Sources should be arranged alphabetically starting with author's last name
If author has more than one source, arrange entries by year, earliest first
When an author appears both as a sole author and, in another citation as the
author name
