Organize the paper following these major headings: Title, Author(s)and address(es), Abstract, Introduction, Framework, Objectives of the Study, Methods (These include the procedures in data gathering, including hardware, laboratory apparatus and equipment, original laboratory resources, customized materials, and other related instrument for data gathering) or Methodology (Description of procedures and techniques employed to identify, select, process and analyze information to answer the research problems), Results & Discussion, Conclusion, and Recommendations (optional).
The research abstract must have a maximum of 250 words and at least 3-5 keywords or phrases
Literature Cited. The Literature Cited should substantially consist of articles published in current content-covered or peer-reviewed journals. Minimize citations of unpublished reports and theses.
Authors are required to type or encode the entire manuscript in the prescribed form, accessible via the Manuscript Submission button on the Asian Scientific Journal website (https://asianscientificjournal.com/manuscript-submission).
References, Acknowledgments, table titles, figures, plates, and legends should be typed double-spaced. Number all pages consecutively, including the title page, tables, figures, and plates.
Leave two spaces before and after the major headings and two spaces before and after the sub-headings. Do not use footnotes. Rather, use end notes if the discipline needs such.
Spell out acronyms or unfamiliar abbreviations when these are mentioned for the first time in the text.
Write the scientific names of species completely with author(s) when it is first mentioned in the text and without the name of the author in succeeding references. Scientific names should be written in italics or bold face.
Spell out numbers at the beginning of a sentence; otherwise, follow standard number rules.
Use the metric system only or the International System of Units. Use abbreviations of units only beside numerals (e.g. 6 m); otherwise, spell out the units (e.g. kilometers from here). Do not use plural forms or periods for abbreviations of units. Use the bar for compound units (e.g. 1 kg/ha/yr.). Place a zero before the decimal in numbers less than 1 (e.g. 0.25.
When preparing Tables, Figures, and Plates, consider the journal’s printed page of 5.75 in x 8.5 in and the reduction that will be necessary. Titles of Tables and captions of Figures and Plates should be as short as possible and understandable without referring to the text. Captions of Figures and Plates should be typed double-spaced on a separate sheet. Figures should consist only of simple line drawings, computer-generated graphics or good quality colored photographs. Label of Figures and Plates should be written below the image and should be of such a size so that these are still legible even after reducing the size by as much as 50%. Preferably use Adobe Photoshop CS, Adobe InDesign CS and or PDF computer-generated graphics.
Cite references in the text using the author–date format (Author, year). The use of “et al.” for in-text citations is allowed when citing a work with three or more authors. All author names should be listed in the reference list. Works accepted for publication but not yet published should be cited as (Author, in press). If two or more references are cited together, arrange them chronologically by year, then alphabetically by author if in the same year.
The manuscript should be as concise as the subject and research method permit, generally about 5,000 to 8,000 words single-space.
To promote anonymous review, authors should not identify themselves directly or indirectly in their papers or in experimental test instruments included in the submission. Single authors should not use the editorial “we”.
A cover page should show the title of the paper, all authors’ names, titles and affiliations, email addresses, and any acknowledgments.
The first author or primary author is the person who conducted most of the work described in the paper and is usually the person who drafted the manuscript. The “senior author” is usually the last person named and is generally the one who directed or oversaw the project. The names of the “contributing authors” appear between the primary and senior authors, and the order should reflect their relative contribution to the work.
