Submission

The first submission of the manuscripts for review should be sent to corresponding e-mail address of the journal. The manuscripts should be written in Microsoft Office Word (at least ver. 6.0), and submitted in electronic format in CD-ROM (PC formatted) or e-mail.

Please add line numbering to your manuscript starting at the Introduction section and ending at the reference list. Please use the word-processing feature "line numbering" to number the lines, thus making it easy for reviewers to cite specific comments in their review. Please number consecutively, every five lines.

Review Process

All manuscripts are subject to critical review by at least two anonymous referees and should have satisfactory quality for publication in EurAsian Journal of BioSciences. The Editor reserves the right to reject the submitted material. It is author`s obligation to satisfy the language requirements. The author should follow the grammatical rules of the appropriate language. Please proof-read content for accuracy. For reviewing purposes, the names of five potential reviewers (of international caliber) along with their complete postal and e-mail addresses, must be given on a separate page.

The corresponding author should be named in this letter. Submission of an article to EurAsian Journal of BioSciences means all authors accept that both scientific and ethical issues (e.g. copyright) are their own responsibilities. (Please do not include the covering letter in the body of the manuscript). For rapid communication, corresponding authors should include their postal addresses, e-mails, telephone (office and mobile), and fax numbers (including country and city codes).

Tables

Tables and figures should be listed at the end of the manuscript, starting on a new page. Please submit tables with an appropriate legend at the head, numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in the order in which they are first referenced in the text. Tables should be given "9 pt `Univers`". Each table must be referred to in the text. Indicate footnotes to tables by lower-case, superscript letters, beginning with "a" in each table

Sample table

Illustrations

Figures, photographs, plates, maps and graphs are considered as figures. Please, limit the number of illustrations (graphs, diagrams, photographs, etc.) to the minimum needed to clarify the text. The author must provide the lettering. All elements in the drawing should be large enough to withstand reduction. Both axes of graphs must be labeled. The vertical axis must be labeled sideways and read from bottom to top.

Photographs must be of high quality and exhibit high contrast. Photomicrographs must have an internal, labeled scale marker, and the magnification must also be stated in the legend. Citation in the text should take the form of `Fig. 1`, `Figs. 1 and 2`, `Figs. 1-3` and `Figs. 3, 4, and 6`. Submit only original photographs for publication.

Figure Legends

Please submit a legend for each figure. Each legend must contain sufficient explanation to be meaningful without cross-referencing with the text. The legends are part of the text, not of the figures, and should be given separately below the figures.

Units should be in the form, e.g. g cm^-1 rather than g/cm.

Latin abbreviations (such as, et al., e.g., i.e., vs., etc.) are not italicized.
