Instruction for Author


INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS:

Journal of Advance Science International is a Multi-disciplinary journal available digitally and in print version. Research papers and review articles of general significance are the two acceptable categories of submission. The journal publishes original research work that contributes significantly to further the scientific knowledge in the physical world on disciplinary subjects of science such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology and Environmental Sciences. It focuses on the impact of human actions on terrestrial and aquatic life. On the other-hand develops ideas and plans for restoring the ecosystems. Life Science related research work refers to the study of living organisms and their life processes, it involves biology and agriculture disciplines. Health Science related research work refers to the study of health and medicine on the physical and mental well-being and care for people of poor health who are suffering from various diseases due to direct genetic, environmental or artificial impact. Biotechnology related research work uses advances in molecular biology and biochemical manufacturing for applications in human and animal healthcare. Genetic engineering aims to modify the genes to change and improve the capabilities of an organism by the process of modifying their genome after careful and through research work carried out by experts, it also involves the creation of genetically modified organisms. The primary criteria for acceptable submissions to Journal of Advance Science International are that the work must be scientifically important and have the potential to advance their respective fields and disciplines. Therefore, contributors are strongly encouraged to read these instructions carefully before preparing a manuscript for submission. All papers are subjected to peer reviews.

  • provides brief information
  • may appear more than once (depending on how many times you use the source)

Example: There are various ethical implications in business decision-making process (Ferrell, Fraedrich & Ferrell 2017). Ferrell, Fraedrich & Ferrell (2017) discussed the implications of ethical decision-making.

2. References list:

  • is located at the end of the paper
  • provides the complete information
  • appears only once at the end

Example: Ferrell, OC, Fraedrich, J, & Ferrell, L 2017, Business ethics: Ethical decision making & cases, 11th edn, Cengage Learning, Australia.

References should be numbered in the superscript, serially in the order in which they appear, first through the text and then through table and figure legends. References should not include unpublished source materials. The list of References at the end of the text should be in the following format:
