Preparation and Submission of Manuscripts:

The following conditions must be fulfilled before manuscripts can be submitted to Al-Kufa University Journal for Biology

(iManuscript

A whole paper's original typescript should contain double spacing and a large margin. The title, authors, address(es), abstract, and keywords should all be on the title page. Every page needs to have a number. The paper needs to be broken up into sections, preferably with "Introduction" at the top and "Conclusions" at the bottom. The subsections should be numbered 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc., while the main parts should be numbered 1, 2, 3, etc.

Short communication is devoted to the timely and significant results disclosure. Contributions to this and the Note sections shouldn't be more than 8 double-spaced typed pages, including all references, figures, equations, and tables. They need not be divided into sections but should adhere to the same style and format as the rest of the document.

(ii) Title

The title should be succinct while also communicating to the knowledgeable reader the unique nature of the paper's contents.

(iii) Address

It is important to mention the author(s)' names and the institute(s) where the research was conducted. To whom correspondence should be sent, the author's name should be italicized. If the authors' current addresses are different from their previous addresses, they can be listed in a footnote. It is necessary to include the matching author's email address.

(iv) Abstract

There must be no more than 250 words in the abstract. The core of the outcome ought to be included.

(v) Keywords

Five maximum appropriate keywords should be provided for indexing and information retrieval services.

(vi) Text

The authors should be mindful of the language (word choice, sentence structure, and grammar), logical presentation, enumeration of assumptions made, justifications of approximations made, etc. when preparing the work, and any limits must be indicated whenever and wherever appropriate. A paper must also be self-contained, with clear, concise, and acceptable presentation.

(vii) Figures

Reduce the amount of figures as much as possible. Each figure needs to have a title, a number, and a reference in the text. On a different sheet, type the captions. The text's margin should be used to suggest where the figure should go. Figure axes need to be appropriately labeled. All of the copies that were provided had the letterings and the necessary information. Avoid wasting space at the top and bottom.

(viii) Tables

Each table should have a number, a title that is self-explanatory, and be typed on a separate sheet. Table column headers should be succinct. If there are any footnotes to the tables, they should be labeled with superscript letters and placed at the bottom.

(ix) Formulae

The formula should be plainly and properly typed, handwritten, and numbered. In the paper, vectors, special symbols, superscripts, subscripts, etc. should all be identified with the appropriate signs. By adding appropriate abbreviations to component expressions, long equations should be avoided as much as feasible.

International conventions in the choice of symbols, units, and notations should be respected.

(x) References

A manuscript must include a single list at the end of the text with all references to its text, tables, and figures integrated, numbered consecutively in order of first appearance, and arranged in the same manner. Arabic numerals enclosed in square brackets should be used to reference them in the text at the proper points in a sentence, such as [1-5], etc.

The number of references cited must be kept to a minimum, and the list must be supplied on a separate sheet with the names of all writers (the term "et al" is not permitted). They should be presented as follows and should be as thorough as possible:

  • Author, Title of the Paper, Canadian Journal of An- esthesia, Vol.X, No.X, 200X, pp. XXX-XXX.
  • Author, Title of the Book, Publishing House, 200X.
