First Submission Format

Manuscripts should be prepared electronically using the Word template file provided by LJOAS. This journal uses blind peer review process, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. To facilitate this, authors’ information should not be given in the main manuscript in order not to give away their identity. 

Similarity index: The manuscripts sent to the journal are scanned with the Ithenticate plagiarism program. The overall similarity score should not exceed 20% after subtracting references, addresses, proper names, chemical compound names and taxon names in biology (scientific names). Each similarity rate should not exceed 5%. The pre-control process for the articles uploaded to the journal will be evaluated according to these similarity scores. In addition, authors must comply with other ethical rules such as Plagiarism, Fabrication, Distortion or Falsification and Duplication. Responsibility for these matters belongs to the author. A study published as a full text in the proceedings book of any congress or symposium is not accepted in the journal. 

Manuscript Language: Please write your text in good English. British or American English usage is accepted, however not a mixture of the two.
