The authors' names are given in Chinese order; the first or given name follows the surname or family name. Although this order differs from that of western counties, it is now widely recognized and accepted. In most cases the address given applies to the first author listed.
China is divided into three administrative levels: provinces, which include autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government; countries, which include cities and industrial-agricultural and forestry districts; and towns or townships.
