  References to books should cite the authors(s), title, publisher, publication date, and page.
  9. Smith, A. B. Textbook of Organic Chemistry; D. C. Jones: New York, 1961; pp 123-126.
  In referring to a book written by various contributors, cite authors(s) first, as in
  10. Winstein, S.; Henderson, R. B. In Heterocyclic Compounds; Elderfield, R. C., Ed.; Wiley: New York, 1950; Vol. 1, Chapter 1, p 60.
• Authors' full address, homepage address, phone and fax numbers and e-mail address can be included in the title page and these will be published.
