MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
It is essential for us that authors should prepare their manuscripts according to the instructions and specifications listed below. The length and effectiveness of the peer review process will largely depend upon the care used by authors in preparing their manuscripts. Therefore, contributors are strongly encouraged to read these instructions carefully before preparing a manuscript for submission, and to check the manuscr ipt for conformance before submitting it for publication.
Manuscripts preferred for publication in Journal of Computational Methods in Molecular Design are those which:
1. Contain original work
2. Are focused on the core aims and scope of the journal
3. Are delivered in electronic format only
Please read the following instructions carefully and convert your research in manuscript as:
Page format : Manuscripts should be prepared as word processing documents on A4, or Letter size paper, leaving a liberal margin (2 cm) on all four sides. The manuscript should be typed double-spaced throughout (with a space of 24 points , that is, 6 mm, between lines) including references and tables.
Fonts : Serif fonts such as Times, Times New Roman and point size should be 12.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively using Arabic. Each table should have an explanatory caption which should be as concise as possible.
Figures: Authors may use line diagrams and photographs to il lustrate these from their text. All figures must be numbered with Arabic numerals. All the figures and tables should be placed at appropriate in the text itself.

Article Processing Charges (APC) :
European Journal of Zoological Reseach (EJZR) is self-financed and does not receive funding from any institution/government. Hence, the Journal operates solely through processing charges we receive from the authors. The handling fee is required to meet its maintenance. Being an Open Access Journal, EJZR does not collect subscription charges from readers that enjoy free online access to the articles. Authors are hence required to pay a fair handling fee for processing their articles. However, there are no submission charges. Authors are required to make payment only after their manuscript has been accepted for publication. Article processing fee or Manuscript handling cost is £ 1019.Average Article prorcessing time (APT) is 50 days
Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process):
European Journal of Zoological Research is participating in the Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process) with an additional prepayment of $99 apart from the regular article processing fee. Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process is a special service for the article that enables it to get a faster response in the pre-review stage from the handling editor as well as a review from the reviewer. An author can get a faster response of pre-review maximum in 3 days since submission, and a review process by the reviewer maximum in 5 days, followed by revision/publication in 2 days. If the article gets notified for revision by the handling editor, then it will take another 5 days for external review by the previous reviewer or alternative reviewer.
Acceptance of manuscripts is driven entirely by handling editorial team considerations and independent peer-review, ensuring the highest standards are maintained no matter the route to regular peer-reviewed publication or a fast editorial review process. The handling editor and the article contributor are responsible for adhering to scientific standards. The article FEE-Review process of $99 will not be refunded even if the article is rejected or withdrawn for publication.
The corresponding author or institution/organization is responsible for making the manuscript FEE-Review Process payment. The additional FEE-Review Process payment covers the fast review processing and quick editorial decisions, and regular article publication covers the preparation in various formats for online publication, securing full-text inclusion in a number of permanent archives like HTML, XML, and PDF, and feeding to different indexing agencies.
