'Millilitre' is one of the commonest units used in the researches of many fields. It is also common in day-to-day measurements and science text books. However, there is ambiguity in its abbreviation. It is abbreviated as 'mL' by some researchers, whereas 'ml' by some others. Which one is the better (more scientific) abbreviation?
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litre :
"There are two international standard symbols for the litre: L and l. In the United States the former is preferred because of the risk that (in some fonts) the letter l and the digit 1 may be confused." (See also the reference in Note 7 there.)

I may add that in Germany "ml" is used in schools, on bottle labels, in recipes and elsewhere.
Very true @Wolfgang, as this is most reliable examples as per the daily need items is concerned. More in every measuring item like beaker, glass stirrer, automobile coolant tank are all labeled with ml.
