The abstracts or papers should be sent by E-mail to the 4th AADG Conference, Dr. Truong Van Hieu  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and cc: Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Thu This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . If acknowledgement is not received within one week then authors should send a reminder to Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Thu and Dr. Truong Van Hieu.The authors should suggest the papers for oral or poster presentations.

The papers should be sent by e-mail as an attachment, and with "4th AADGC" in the subject line. Email messages with attachments and unknown subject lines are not opened in view of virus risks.  

The principle tool for publishing the Proceedings/Journal is Microsoft Office. This is the preferred format for receiving papers and abstracts.

ABSTRACTS AND PAPERS

The abstract should be limited at 400 words, while the full text for the Scientific papers and Country reports could be from 6-10 pages, however the Keynote and Plenary lectures could be longer but not more than 14 pages.  

Key words

Do not repeat the words already in the title of the paper. Search engines such as Google automatically search the title. Key words should draw attention to features of the paper not addressed in the title.

Body of Text

- For Page Set up Use: Paper size A4 and Margins 2.5 cm

- Use the font "Times New Roman" 12 pt. 
- Do not use full word capitals for titles nor for names of authors.
- Include your e-mail address below your postal address in the Title
- Indicate the Keywords after the Abstract in alphabetical order 
- Separate the Titles and associate-titles from the previous and next lines by an empty line, using the ‘return’ or ‘enter’ key

- Do not use numbers such 1.; 1.1.; 1.1.1.; to mark the Titles and Sub-titles.
- Separate each paragraph by an empty line, using the ‘return’ or ‘enter’ key
- Make sure the paragraphs are aligned to the left not  “justified”
- Do not use an indent in the beginning of each paragraph

In text and tables

Ensure that numbers in tables and in the text contain only three digits after or before "000"
eg: 
234.21 becomes 234

1.2367 becomes 1.24
0.00032176 becomes 0.000322
0.01 should be 0.00712
for Ronly two digits after or before “00... ” 
eg: R= 0.677 becomes R= 0.68

Graphics:

Where possible, please always supply in Excel the original spreadsheets including graphs and data which were used to produce graphics in the papers, since this allows us to produce a uniform look and maintain the quality of the finished journal. Within the graphics Font should be: Arial Regular – 10 pt. Use different colors for columns and trend lines NOT Black and White

Tables:

Please format them using the Table menu, and not Tabs and Spaces

- When using the tabular format please allot a new cell to each piece of data.

- Include the title of the table as well as the notes at the bottom of table inside the Table itself not in the body of the text.

 - When comparing treatments in a balanced design do not give SE of each mean. SEM of means is more appropriate with the exact probability as given by the statistics program. The SE of each mean is appropriate when nunbers in each mean are not equal.

Statistics

Avoid use of the term "significant". If "A" is greater than "B" then p <0.05 is understood and the exact level of probability will be in the table.  The accepted symbol for probabiliity is p.  P is  for Phosphorus. Note:  p=0.065 but p<0.001.  A tendency for a difference to be significant is when p >0.05 and <0.10 and the exact probability will be in the text (eg: p=0.058).

Preparing the table in Microsoft Word:

Prepare the table as the followings :

Figures:

Figure 1. Figure captions should be placed under the figures. <Times 12>

The term of Figures includes diagrams, line drawings, maps, etc. Figures should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numbers, independent of tables.

REFERENCES:

In the text, do not put a ‘coma’ between the name and the date. Do not put a ‘dot’ after ‘et al’. “et al” should be in regular font, not in italics.

Example: (Gueye et al 1998)

PLEASE:

- Use the Spell-Check tool in order to correct any spelling mistakes, and

- Ensure that references in the text are in the reference list and vice versa.

An easy way to check this latter point is to print the reference list and then from the beginning of the text to use the "FIND" command and type "19" and then "20". This will locate all the references assuming you have cited correctly the source including the date.
