Three copies of manuscripts (one original and two photocopies), complete in all respects including figures, should be submitted to the Executive Editor, Dr. Md. Abdul Baten, Professor and Head, Department of Environmental Science, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh 2202, Bangladesh.
Please note that all national authors (and coauthors) are requested to be Members of the Society for Conservation of Environment and Natural Resources (SCENR) at the time of submission of the manuscripts. Overseas authors are also encouraged to subscribe to the Journal. Details of membership and subscription can be obtained from the Managing Editor.
The authors must ensure that the manuscripts have been prepared strictly according to the format of the Journal in all respects, failing which the manuscripts may not be processed.
Preparation of Manuscripts
The manuscripts should be prepared only in English. Manuscripts should be typewritten, only on letter or A-4 size paper, with double spacing having font 12 of Times New Roman and minimum 2.5 cm margin on all the four sides. They should be carefully checked for the typographical errors, especially the numerals and diacritical marks in words from different languages.
The title page should comprise; full title of the paper, initials and surname of author(s), name of the laboratory where the work was carried out, and the address to which all correspondence concerning the manuscript should be made. Please add Telephone and Fax numbers as well as Email address wherever possible.
An Abstract should be placed before the Introduction. No summary is required at the end of the paper. The abstract should include sufficient information on the objectives, study area, methods, results and major conclusions. Up to eight keywords, not repeated from the title of the paper, should be placed after the abstract. All acknowledgements should be put at the end before References. The main text of the paper should start from a new page. It should be reasonably subdivided into sections and if necessary, subsection. No part of the manuscript should be underlined except for Latin names of organisms (genera and species). No word or phrase should be abbreviated. However, if abbreviations are absolutely necessary, they should be placed in parentheses after the words/phrases when they appear first in the text. The tables should be typed on separate sheets and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Each table should be provided with a short title. The basis for the nomenclature of taxa should be indicated in the methods section.
All diagrams, graphs and photographs should be referred to in the text as figure, and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. All the figures should be provided with a detailed caption and all captions should be typed together on a separate sheet. In case, illustrations have been prepared with the help of a computer, only high quality laser prints should be submitted. Prints made by dot matrix printers are not acceptable. Photographs should be sharp, well-contrasted, glossy prints trimmed at right angles. The amount of lettering on a drawing should be reduced as far as possible by transferring it to the captions. Figures should not be folded in any case. The drawings and photographs should be identified on back by author’s name and figure number. The orientation should be indicated.
Only metric units (S.I. Units) should be used. Other units may be given in parentheses only if they are absolutely necessary, Abbreviations of units are same for the singular and plural, and are never followed by a period. Mathematical symbols may be either handwritten or typewritten. Greek letters and unusual symbols should be identified separately in the margin. Distinction should be made between confusing letters like letter O and zero (o); between the letter l, the number one and prime; between K and kappa.
References to literature should be given in the text by the author’s name and year: e.g. ‘Tensely (1935)’ when forming part of a sentence or ‘(Tensely, 1935)’ when forming an addition to a sentence. If a paper has three or more authors, then it should be referred to by the surname of the first author and expression et al.
References at the end of the paper should list in alphabetical order under the first author’s name all works referred to in the text. These should include the names of authors/editors full title of the paper, unabbreviated title of the journals, and the name and place of the publisher, and total number of pages in case of books, collective volumes and Proceedings.
