When a name is first cited, the complete scientific name with author citation is desirable. Later, genus initial may be used followed by species name.
Abbreviations should be used sparingly. Standard chemical symbols are accepted. However, when an abbreviation is first used the full term shall be mentioned with the abbreviation within parentheses.
