You are to write a review article on Manipulating Fungi to Drive Glyphosate Remediation in Soil. The goal is to improve your ability to read and synthesize scientific literature and enhance your writing skills. Writing and effective communication is critical for any profession these days. After completing the first draft, you will be exchanging your paper with a fellow student for their critique after which I will evaluate the paper. The paper, with the comments, will be returned to you after which, you will have the opportunity to rewrite a final draft.
A. Style/Format (PRINT ONLY ON 1 SIDE OF EACH PAGE):
1. Five pages (excluding title page, references and figures/tables), double spaced and 1 inch margins. Does not include cover pages with abstract, references or any figures or tables. No smaller than 11 pt font and use Times Roman.
2. Use subheadings – arrange like a review chapter – See Advances Agronomy or other such review journals as an example. Since the term paper is a review article one doesn’t usually use headings such as RESULTS or DISCUSSION. Instead you should have short descriiptive subheadings.
B. Organizational Template:
1. Major Headings: Centered, bold, and upper case as shown below for ABSTRACT, INTRODUCTION and so forth.
2. Title page one– Paper title, your name, date, and class name and number.
3. Page two – Title and abstract only (do not put your name for anonymity on this page, as this will be the front page for your peer review)
ABSTRACT (250 words max)
Should have rationale/background statement (s) that leads to an objective statement followed by the major findings/conclusions of your review.
4. Pages 3-8 Presentation of Review paper (5 pages)
INTRODUCTION
MAJOR HEADNG 1
Minor Heading 1 (left justified and bold)
Minor Heading 2 (left justified, italics, bold and in same line as first sentence of paragraph)
MAJOR HEADING 2
CONCLUSIONS/SUMMARY/PERSPECTIVES

TABLES AND FIGURES (put all in end of paper)
C. Figures, Tables & Units – You should include at least 1 key figure or table. If more than one number in order they are discussed in text. All figures or tables should be referred to in the text at some point – either as “Figure 1 shows ….” or in parentheses in or at the end of a sentence that is based on that figure or table. See following pages for examples of how to format tables and fiures.
1. After Fig or Table number have a descriiptive, full sentence title. Follow the guidelines Publications Handbook and Style Manual handout.
2. use SI units as shown in Style handout.
D. Content – The Abstract should have all of the components of the paper and is very important as this will be read by more readers than the actual paper. The Introduction is as important the body of the paper. Here you need to start broadly and in 2-3 paragraphs at most, you should briefly introduce the reader to the topic and develop rationale for your topic which leads to and ends with a clear objective statement (please do not use aim or aims) – Simply state ‘The objective (s) of this review is….”
You should focus the discussion and use recent literature. This should not be a book report. I want to see evidence that you have looked at a significant number of journal articles on your topic. You should try to put your own interpretation on the data or papers. This could logically be apart of the summary. How reliable is the data and current thinking on your topic? Are there lots of papers to base conclusions on? What are the gaps? What are your interpretations/recommendations/future research needs etc. Avoid using first person in science writing.
