 IIPRINCIPLIZI EZIMAYELANA NOKUMAKISHA ILIFE SCIENCES

 1.     Ukuba kunikwe iimpendulo ezingaphezu kwamanqaku anikiweyo
        Yeka ukumakisha wakufika kumanqaku aphezulu ubhale umgca owavy no
        ‘max’ kwimargin esekunene.
 2.
        Xa, umzekelo, zintathu izizathu ezifunwayo kube kunikwe ezintlanu
 3.     Makisha ezokuqala ezintathu noba zichanekile okanye azichanekanga.

 4.     Xa yonke iprocess inikwe apho bekufunwa isiqingatha
        Yifunde yonke ucredithe iindawo ezamkelekileyo.
 5.
        Xa kubuzwe icomparison, kodwa kunikwe inkcaza
 6.     Yamkele ukuba iidifference/nesimilarity zicazile.

 7.     Xa bekufunwa itabulation, kodwa kunikwe umhlathi
        Abafundi baya kuphulukana namanqaku ngokungatabulathi.
 8.
        Xa iidiagram ezihamba neannotation zinikwe endaweni ekufunwa kuyo
        inkcaza
 9.     Abafundi bayakuphulukana namanqaku.

 10.    Xa iiflow zinikwe endaweni yedescription
        Abafundi baya kuphulukana namanqaku.
 11.
        Xa isequence ivutyiwe nelink zingenzi ngqiqo
 12.    Apho isequence ne link zichanekile, creditha. Xa isequence and ne link,
        zingachanekanga, ungacredithi. Xa isequence ne link ziphinde zachaneka,
        phinda ucredithe.

 13.    Iiabbreviation ezingekho mthethweni
        Zamkele ukuba ziqale zachazwa kwimpendulo. Ukuba azichazwanga,
        ungayicredithi abbreviation engaziwayo, kodwa yicredithe yonke enye indawo
        yempendulo ukuba ichanekile.
 14.
        Iwrong numbering
        Ukuba iimpendulo zilandelelana ngokufanelekileyo ngokwemibuzo, kodwa
        kunikwe inombolo ewrong, yamkela.

        Xa ulwimi olusetyenzisiweyo lutshintsha inthetho ekubhekiswe kuyo
        Ungamkeli.

        Iispelling error
        Ukuba impendulo isondele kweyaziwayo, yamkele, xa ingathethi enye into
        kwiLife Sciences okanye ingaphumanga emxholweni.

        Xa amagama acommon enikwe endaweni yeterminology
        Wamkele, xa amkelekile kwinational memo discussion meeting.

        Xa kubuzwe unobumba yedwa, kodwa kunikwe igama (okanye ivice versa)
        Ungacredithi.

 15.   Xa iiunit zinganikwanga kwimeasurement
       Abafundi bayakuphulukana namanqaku. Imemorandum iyakubanamanqaku
       asecani abelwa iiunit.

 16.   Yibanenkathalo ngempendulo ezinengqiqo, ezisenokubekwa ngendlela
       eyahlukileyo.

 17.   Isihloko
       Zonke iiillustration (iidiagram, iigraph, iitable, njalonjalo) mazibenesihloko.

 18.   Icode-switching yolwimi oluvumelekileyo (iiterm and iiconcept)
       Igama elinye okanye amabini avela ngolwimi oluvumelekileyo lungeyilulo olona
       lusetyenziswe kwimpendulo zovavanyo lomfundi malicredithwe, xa
       lamkelekile. Imarker elwaziyo ulwimi olo mayicelwe. Ibhekisa kuzo zonke
       iilwimi ezivumelekileyo.
