INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

 

The ProEnviroment journal of research, information and professional training publishes peer-reviewed, original research, critical reviews or short communications in agriculture, and environment, food science & technology, human nutrition, animal science, with particular emphasis on interdisciplinary studies in the field of food, agricultural, and environmental interfaces. The journal considers manuscripts on biotechnology, ethical and socioeconomic issues related to modern agricultural or environmental sciences.

 

The journal offers advertisement space for special announcements and employment opportunities.

 

SUBMISSON OF PAPPERS

 

Kindly send us by email a short abstract of your manuscript. If your manuscript fits the scope of our journal, we will request to send your manuscript to two external reviewers. Once reviewed and improved, you may send via email (MS Word) your manuscript inclunding original prints of photos or graphs.

 

Please note that inadequately or incorrectly prepared manuscript will be rejected. Authors will receive an acknowledgement of receipt of their paper normally within 2 months, followed by a decision. Only accepted manuscripts will be published within a short period of time. The estimated period varies between 2 and 5 months.

 

The corresponding author must obtain the consent of all co-authors for the submission of the manuscript. Manuscript will only be accepted on the understanding that the contents have neither been published nor are being considered for publication elsewhere. The accepted manuscript or other contributions will be published in the Print and/or Online version of the journal. When the manuscript is accepted for publication, the author will be asked to assign full copyright.

 

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION

 

Manuscript length should not normally exceed 20 pages, 1.5 line spacing, 12 fonts, including all relevant materials. The hard copy of the manuscript should be typed in 1.5 line spacing on one side of A4 paper with 2.5 cm wide left, right, top and bottom margins.

 

the use of italics should be restricted to genera and species name, and chemical descriptors (e.g. cis,trans etc) and journal and book titles. Do not underline any headings. Footnotes should be kept to a minimum and indicated by * or +.

 

Do not use full stops after abbreviations unless essential for clarity. Abbreviations of chemical and other names should be defined when first mentioned in the body of the paper, unless commonly used and internationally known and accepted. Use SI units in accord with the recommendations of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Use the form g kg-1 etc (not %) to specify content/composition/concentration. Use %, only to express proportional change. Avoid the use of g per 100g, for example in food/feed composition; instead use g kg-1. Fertilizer rates should be presented in terms of the element applied. Unusual symbols (including Greek lettering) should be defined in words in the left margin at the first mention, e. g. Myzus persicae (Sulzer). Identify each enzyme together with its EC number, if available, at the first mention, following the recommendations of the latest edition of Enzyme Nomenclature, and use the current systematic IUPAC nomenclature throughout.

 

Title should be bold and 14 fonts (e.g., Environmental pollutants….). Following 2 line space, the author (s) full name(s) (starting with name then family, 12 fonts, bold), then full address(es) where the work was done, and include tel/fax/e-mail addresses (if available)of the corresponding author in Italics. The main body of the paper should be divided into numbered sections (e.g., Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgements and References). The abstract must be informative yet concise, and should not exceed 300 words. List no more than ten Key words. Refer to unpublished work only in the text (e.g. Popescu I.N. unpublished). Cite the references at the appropriate place in the text using numbers in order in which they appear and a full numerical list must appear in the Reference section, giving all authors with initials after the respective surname.

 

All tables and figures (drawings and photographs) should be in appropriate section of the text. Each table should have a concise self-explanatory title, and abbreviations used should be defined directly below the tables. Figures should be large enough to allow a potential 33% reduction in size. All legends to figures should be printed on the same sheet for each figure. Photographs, if used, should be of good contrast.

Statement of human and animal rights. When reporting experiments on human subjects, authors should indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000 (5). If doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the rationale for their approach, and demonstrate that the institutional review body explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study. When reporting experiments on animals, authors should indicate whether the institutional and national guide for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors - "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals"- February 2006 – cited by Pubmed, Medline database). Statement of informed consent. Patients have a right to privacy that should not be infringed without informed consent. Identifying information, including patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers, should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, and pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. Informed consent for this purpose requires that a patient who is identifiable be shown the manuscript to be published. Authors should identify individuals who provide writing assistance and disclose the funding source for this assistance. Identifying details should be omitted if they are not essential. Complete anonymity is difficult to achieve, however, and informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt. For example, masking the eye region in photographs of patients is inadequate protection of anonymity. If identifying characteristics are altered to protect anonymity, such as in genetic pedigrees, authors should provide assurance that alterations do not distort scientific meaning and editors should so note (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors - "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals"- February 2006 – cited by Pubmed, Medline database). Conflict-of-interest statement. Public trust in the peer review process and the credibility of published articles depend in part on how well conflict of interest is handled during writing, peer review, and editorial decision making. Conflict of interest exists when an author (or the author's institution), reviewer, or editor has financial or personal relationships that inappropriately influence (bias) his or her actions (such relationships are also known as dual commitments, competing interests, or competing loyalties). These relationships vary from those with negligible potential to those with great potential to influence judgment, and not all relationships represent true conflict of interest. The potential for conflict of interest can exist whether or not an individual believes that the relationship affects his or her scientific judgment. Financial relationships (such as employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony) are the most easily identifiable conflicts of interest and the most likely to undermine the credibility of the journal, the authors, and of science itself (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors - "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals"- February 2006 – cited by Pubmed, Medline database). However, conflicts can occur for other reasons, such as personal relationships, academic competition or intellectual passion, and the Chief Editor will do his best to avoid them, using specific policies in the process of peer-review.
