INTERNATIONAL
PEER-REVIEWED
JOURNAL
Manuscript not conforming to the
following specifications will be returned.
1. General
Original research papers, review articles, forum articles, theoretical papers, and practical case studies in all aspects of applied environmental sciences, focusing on drinking water, wastewater, solid waste, hazardous and toxic waste, soil, water resources, air, plants for treatment and remediation (phytotechnology, ecotoxicology, environmental conservation, impact management, etc.
Submission of a manuscript will be held to imply that the work reported in it is original, that the results have not been previously published (either in part or whole) and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere; and further, that if accepted, will not be published elsewhere.
Authors are strongly encouraged to send their manuscripts in electronic form by online submission or e-mail as an attachment for quick evaluation. Figures and photographs can be included as jpg, bmp or tiff attachments.
2. Authorship
All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content. Authorship credit should be based only on substantial contributions to: (1) conception and design, or analysis and interpretation of data; (2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and (3) the final approval of the version to be published. Conditions 1, 2, and 3 must all be met. Participation solely in the acquisition of funding or the collection of data does not justify authorship. General supervision of the research group is not sufficient for authorship.
3. Copyright permission
By submitting a manuscript to the ASES you are deemed to have granted permission to publish the manuscript. Contributors are required to secure permission for the reproduction of any figure, table, or extensive (more than 50 words) extract from the text, from a source that is copyrighted – or owned – by a party other than the contributor. This applies both to direct reproduction or ‘derivative reproduction’ – when the contributor has created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source. The following form of words can be used in seeking permission:
Dear [COPYRIGHT HOLDER]
I/we are preparing for publication an article entitled [STATE TITLE] to be published by Department of Environmental Engineering ITS in the Journal of Applied Sciences in Environmental Sanitation.
I/we should be grateful if you would grant us permission to include the following materials: [STATE FIGURE NUMBER AND ORIGINAL SOURCE]
We are requesting non-exclusive rights in this edition and in all forms. It is understood, of course, that full acknowledgement will be given to the source.
Your prompt consideration of this request would be greatly appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
The Authors
4. Preparation of manuscripts
Typescript
The complete paper has to be written preferably in Rich Text Format or in a
MS-Word 2000 compatible file, with a maximum of 30 pages including text, figures
and tables. Papers must be typed (on one side only) double-spaced and with a 30
mm margin on all sides on white bond paper A4 (297 × 210 mm). Font type should
be Arial Narrow.
Readability
Manuscripts should be written in clear, concise and grammatically correct English (British or American English throughout). The editors can not undertake wholesale revisions of poorly written papers. Every paper must be free of unnecessary jargon and clearly readable by any specialist of applied sciences in environmental sanitation. The abstract should be written in an explanatory style that will be comprehensible also to readers who are not experts in the subject matter.
Structure
The order of the material should be as follows: Title, Author(s), Abstract, Keywords, Introduction (including review of literature, definitions, if any), Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgements (if any), References, Appendix (if any).
This structure of the main text is not obligatory, but the paper must be logically presented. Footnotes should be avoided. The manuscript should contain the whole text, figures, tables and explanations according to the following: ►Manuscript Structure
5. Mathematical expressions, figures and tables
Mathematical expressions (example: asespaper\ases07v2n2y2007.pdf): In general minimize unusual typographical requirements, use solidus, built-up fractions. Avoid lengthy equations that will take several lines (possibly by defining terms of the equation in separate displays). For drawing equations please use the Equation Editor of Word. Make subscripts and superscripts clear. The letter l and the number 1, the letter O and the number 0, which are identical on most keyboards, should be identified clearly. The meaning of the symbols and the difference between upper and lower case letters should be defined. Display only those mathematical expressions that must be numbered for later reference or that need to be emphasized. Number displayed equations consecutively throughout the paper. The numbers should be placed in parentheses to the right of the equation e.g. (Eq. 1).
Figures (example: asespaper\ases03v2n1y2007.pdf): All photographs, graphs and diagrams should be numbered consecutively (e.g. Fig. 1) in the order in which they are referred in the text. Caption must appear below the figure and should be sufficiently detailed to enable to understand apart from the text. Explanation of lettering and symbols should be given also in the caption and only exceptionally in the figures. Figures should be of good quality and preferably in black and white. Figures should be designed to fit to the text area and must be embedded. In addition authors are requested to submit each figure also as an image file in one of the following formats: jpg, bmp, tiff.
Tables (example: asespaper\ases01v1y2006.pdf): Caption must appear above the table. Tables should be self-explanatory. They should be mentioned in the text, numbered consecutively (e.g. Table 1) and accompanied by title at the top. Grid lines should not appear, except at the top and the bottom of the table. Please insert all the tables in the text, do not enclose huge tables which can not be fit within the page margins.
6. Abbreviations, units etc.
Authors should follow internationally agreed rules especially those adopted by the IUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature (CBN). The journal will essentially follow the rules defined in the IUPAC Manual of symbols and terminology for physico-chemical quantities and units (Butterworths, London), 1970.
7. Checklist for authors prior submission
