Author Guidelines

Journal of Analytical Sciences and Applied Biotechnology (JASAB) is an international open access journal for those involved in teaching or practice in the fields of chemistry and Biological Science Research” as well as organizational development and education connected to these areas of interest. We particularly welcome high-quality original research that advances knowledge on these topics generalizable to other settings and countries. In addition to research papers we welcome less formal contributions, including short reports, which would make the journal more accessible.

Plagiarism: 

Manuscript Duplicity is a crime thus Plagiarism should be completely avoided. Figures and Tables extracted from any sources are considered as malpractice. The Data extracted must be cited and this journal does not encourage exact reproduction of any content.

If plagiarism is detected more than 20% before/during the peer review process, the submission may be rejected.

Article-processing charge:

All papers published by JASAB are free of charge.

In general the Manuscripts are classified in to following groups based on the criteria noted below. The author(s) are encouraged to request a particular classification upon submitting (please include this in the cover letter); however the Editor and the Associate Editor retain the right to classify the manuscript as they see fit, and it should be understood by the authors that this process is subjective to some degree.

Review Process

Review process ensures the quality and international interest of the manuscript submitted for publication. All manuscripts submitted to JASAB undergo rigorous peer review. All manuscripts are first internally reviewed either by an editor or members of the editorial board. Suitable manuscripts are sent to at least two qualified outside reviewers for evaluation. Decisions will be made as rapidly as possible, and the journal strives to return reviewers’ comments to authors within 30 days of submission. The editorial board re-reviews manuscripts that are accepted pending revision. It is the goal of the JASAB to publish manuscripts within 90 days of submission. As reviewing of scientific article is an open end process, in some cases it may take more time than that. Accepted articles will immediately appear online in the next issue of the journal.

Proofs:

One set of page proofs will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author. You may list the corrections and return them via e-mail to us. Please list your corrections quoting line number. If, for any reason, this is not possible, then mark the corrections and any other comments on a printout of your proof and scan the pages and e-mail.

Abstract: The abstract should be informative and completely self-explanatory, briefly present the topic, state the scope of the experiments, indicate significant data, and point out major findings and conclusions. The abstract should summarize the manuscript content in 300 words or less. Standard nomenclature should be used and abbreviations should be avoided. The preferable format should accommodate a description of the study background, methods, results and conclusion. Following the abstract, a list of keywords (3-10) and abbreviations should be included.

Introduction: The introduction should set the tone of the paper by providing a clear statement of the study, the relevant literature on the study subject and the proposed approach or solution. The introduction should be general enough to attract a reader’s attention from a broad range of scientific disciplines.

• Materials and Methods: This section should provide a complete overview of the design of the study. Detailed descriptions of materials or participants, comparisons, interventions and types of analysis should be mentioned. However, only new procedures should be described in detail; previously published procedures should be cited and important modifications of published procedures should be mentioned briefly. Capitalize trade names and include the manufacturer’s name and address.

• Results and discussion: The results section should provide complete details of the experiment that are required to support the conclusion of the study. The results should be written in the past tense when describing findings in the authors’ experiments. Previously published findings should be written in the present tense.

Results and discussion may be combined or in a separate section. Speculation and detailed interpretation of data should not be included in the results but should be put into the discussion section.

• Acknowledgement: This section includes acknowledgment of people, grant details, funds, etc.

• References: Only published or accepted manuscripts should be included in the reference list. Meetings abstracts, conference talks, or papers that have been submitted but not yet accepted should not be cited.

References should be numbered consecutively in the order of their citation in the text and not in alphabetic order.

The style of writing the references of the journals should be as under example:

[1] Abdoul-Latif, F. M., Oumaskour, K., Boujaber, N., Ainane, A., Mohamed, J., & Ainane, T. (2021). Formulations of a cosmetic product for hair care based on extract of the microalga Isochrysis galbana: in vivo and in vitro activities. Journal of Analytical Sciences and Applied Biotechnology, 3(1), 15-19.

Finally, the manuscript has been formatted from the template available at: Template JASAB.doc
