Author Guidelines
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.

1. Title page with Title (short title), Name of author(s), address of workplace(s) and Personal e- mail address (es)
2. Abstract
3. Keywords
4. Introduction
5. Materials and Methods
6. Results and Discussion
7. Conclusion
8. Acknowledgements
9. References

The details of each section is as follows:

1. Title page
The title should be relatively short but informative. A list of all authors of the paper should be prepared. It will contain full first name, initial(s) for middle name(s) and full last name. Authors’ affiliations should be indicated in this section. A t least one e-mail address is needed as the corresponding author’s email address.

2. Abstract
An abstract must accompany every article. It should be a brief summary of the significant items of the main paper. An abstract should give concise information about the content of the core idea of your paper. It should be informative and not only present the general scope of the paper but also indicate the main results and conclusions. An abstract should not normally exceed 250 words.

3. Key words
List of all keywords proposed by the authors, separated by commas. Up to 5 key terms can be selected.

4. Introduction
Present the subject of paper clearly, indicate the scope of the subject, present the goals of paper, novelty of research work and finally the organizati on of paper.

5. Materials and Methods
It should be written in sufficient detail to enable others to repeat the authors’ work. Chemical compounds should be named according to the systemat ic rules of IUPAC or Chemical Abstracts. Common trivial names that are accepted by IUPAC can also be used. Units and dimensions should be expressed according to the metric system and SI units. Animals and chemicals should be described in the first two paragraphs. The permi ssion from animal ethical committee should be mentioned. The source of chemicals and drugs may be given.

6. Results and Discussion
It may be combined or kept separate and may be furt her divided into subsections. This section should not contain technical details.

7. Conclusion
It should be representing the summary of the import ant findings.

8. Acknowledgements
Information concerning research grant support, assi stance of colleagues or any other notes of appreciation should appear in this section.

9. Reference list
The references should be cited in the text in large brackets e.g. [1] not in superscript or subscript. A complete reference should comprise the following:

Peer- Review Policy

Annals of Biological Research is an open access journal follows a peer review process where our expert reviewers provide comments on the quality and content of the submitted articles on the discoveries and current novel developments in the mode of original articles, review articles, case reports, short communications, etc. while making them freely available through online without any restrictions or any other subscriptions to universal researchers.

Every submitted manuscript processed for preliminary quality control check by editorial office followed by external peer review process. Usually preliminary quality control completes within seven days and majorly with reference to journal formatting, English and journal scope.

Article Processing Charges (APC) :

.

Average Article prorcessing time (APT) is 55 days

Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process):

Annals of Biological 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.
