Author's Guidelines

Introduction

This should include a statement of the problem, a brief survey of previous work, and the scope and purpose of the investigation. References to previous work should be included.

Materials and Methods (Experimental Procedures)

Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. An indication of the statistical methods used to analyse data should be included.

Results and Discussion

The section(s) may either be presented as a single section or divided into separate Results and Discussion sections. If separate, describe experimental results in the Results section and reserve interpretations, speculations, and conclusions for the Discussion section.

Conclusion

At the end of the article, attempt to answer all questions formulated in the introduction and conclude with a summary of results and an assessment of future research or prospects.

Acknowledgements

This is reserved for journal paper numbers, source of funding, and name of project, if required. Acknowledgement of help from colleagues or professional associates is appropriate but avoid acknowledgement of routine secretarial help or family members.

Tables and Figures

Tables and Figures can be placed either next to the relevant text in the article, or on separate page(s) at the end. Number tables and Figures consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using vertical rules and shading in table cells. Titles of tables go above the table while titles of figures go underneath the figure. If the table or figure is not original, give the source at the end of the caption, e.g. Source: Jones et al. 2001.

Author Paper Guidelines

GENERAL INFORMATION

Length of the Printed Paper

Manuscripts should be as concise as possible. As a general rule the maximum recommended length of an article is 20 pages including figures and tables. An average page of text will contain about 800 words. For any length over the recommended number of pages the Editor will have the right to return the article and ask that relevant changes be made.

Language and Spelling

English is the official language. There is no preference whether English or American spelling is used although consistency within each article is required.

Units, Abbreviations and Names

Units of measurement must conform to the SI system. Abbreviations and symbols should conform to conventions of the IUPAC-IUB Commission. Scientific names are to be included for all species and are to be in italic font except for the abbreviations “var.”, “subsp.”, “f.”, etc. which indicate rank at infraspecific level (e.g., Cedrus libani subsp. atlantica, Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae).

Paper - Font and Type

All material should be double-spaced, excluding footnotes, references, and tables. Use 1 inch margins and 12-point Times Roman Size font exclusively. Titles are printed in 14 point but the rest of the manuscript, including tables should be 12 point. When italic typeface is required use italic type, not underline. All headings and subheadings are flush left. A section heading should be followed by at least some text preceding any subsection heading. Provide short headings for each section and subsection. Do not number sections or subsections. Section headings are denoted in bold and subsection headings, in italics. Do not use a heading prior to the first paragraph of the article (e.g., no heading for “introduction”), and do not indent the first paragraph of the article. Follow The Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition (or most recent edition) and references should be arranged alphabetically

 

ORGANIZATION OF A RESEARCH PAPER

Title

Titles are printed in boldface in 14 point type. Use capital and lower case for the first word in the titles except for articles (“a” and “the”), prepositions (“of,” “in” “on.” “during,” “between”), and conjunctions (“and” and “but”), except when they are the first word. Gene symbols, which normally begin with lower case letters are not capitalized in titles nor is the first word of specific epithets in binomials. Do not include authorities for binomials in titles. Keep titles as concise as possible. Binomials will be in boldface Italics.

Bylines - Authors’ Names and Affiliations

This includes the name of author(s) (without titles) and affiliations. The given name of authors may be either written out in full or listed by initials. If two initials are listed, do not include a space between them but provide a space before the family name. The affiliation or address of author is included below the name.

For multi-authored articles keep the affiliation of each author separately; when space permits, these can be listed side by side; if not, underneath each other. If there are two authors, separate the author name by “and,” e.g. A.B. Smith and C.D. Jones; three authors would be A.B. Smith, C.D Jones and E.F. Brown. Do not use footnotes in the bylines. Footnotes should be avoided in bylines. They might be appropriate when there are two departments in one institution.

Abstract and Keywords

The abstract should contain a concise but comprehensive statement of the problem and results. The abstract is limited to 300 words in a single paragraph. The title and abstract are considered an advertisement for the article as it may be all that most viewers will read. Thus, it should be carefully and accurately written. At least six key words, not used in the title should be listed.
