JAHANGIRNAGAR UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
NOTICE TO CONTRIBUTORSThe Jahangirnagar University Journal of Biological Sciences is an International and multidisciplinary research and review journal. It is published in June and December of each year. Original research papers and review articles are accepted on the understanding that these are subjected to editorial revision, that their contents have not been published elsewhere and that in consideration of acceptance of a text for publication the copyright of the said text is assigned to the Jahangirnagar University Journal of Biological Sciences.
Contributions
Manuscripts to be submitted for publication and communications concerning editorial matters should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief, Jahangirnagar University Journal of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Jahangirnagar University, Savar, Dhaka-1342, Bangladesh (E-mail: [email protected]).
Preparation of Text
Authors should consult a CURRENT issue of the Journal and conform to the typographical conventions, use of headings, layout of tables and citation of references. Texts must be computer processed in double-spacing on good quality sheets not larger than A4 size with a minimum margin of 40mm and should be submitted in duplicate including illustrations. The name(s) of the contributor(s), the name and address of the laboratory/
institution where the work was done and a shortened title should accompany the manuscript. A summary page should be included, giving results and conclusions in the form of an Abstract suitable for use as such for abstracting. It should not exceed 250 words. A list of 3-6 key words should be mentioned by the authors.
References
All citations in the text must be included in the REFERENCE list and vice versa. In the text, the reference should appear as, either: Rahman (1984) described, or: As described previously by Rahman (1984). When there are more than two authors, mention only the first author, e.g., Rahman et al., 1984. If the year is same for several references, identify these with a, b, c, etc., e.g. Rahman (1975 a, b, c) both in the text and in the Reference list.
In the Reference list, arrange the references in alphabetical order. In case of journals, cite the reference in the following way: Name(s) of author(s), date, title of paper, serial title (in approved abbreviated form and italicised), volume number (bold-typed), issue number (in parenthesis), first and last page numbers, thus:
Biswas, J.C. and Sattar, S.A. 1992. Weed stress Tolerance of Direct-seeded Upland Rice, Jahangirnagar University J. Biol. Sci. 1(1): 45-51. One-word titles are never abbreviated.
Reference to books should be as follows: Hutchinson, J. and Dalziel, J.M. 1963. Flora of Tropical, West Africa, vol. II, 2nd edn., Crown Agents for Overseas Governments and Administration, London, pp. 32-36.
Reference to articles in books should be as follows: Rollo, I.M. 1979. Drugs used in chemotherapy of helminthiasis. In: Goodman, A.G. & Gilman, A. (eds.). The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 6th edn. pp. 1013-1037. MacMillan & Co., New York.
Tables
Tables should be typed in appropriate places in the text and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Their headings should briefly describe their contents.
Figures
Two figures of each illustration should be submitted. These should be clearly and boldly drawn in Indian ink on tracing paper. Lettering and numbering should be inserted lightly and clearly in pencil. Legends for illustrations should be kept together on a separate sheet of paper and appended to the typescript.
Reprints
Ten free reprints of each article will be sent to the corresponding author.
