order: Title, Abstract, Introduction, Materials and
Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements,

text, table(s), or figure(s). Avoid extensive use of
graphs to present data that might be more concisely or
more comprehensively presented in the figures or tables.
The reproducibility and statistical significance of
measurements, material or biological data, must be
included where relevant. The discussion should provide
an interpretation of the results and their significance
with regard to previously published work. There should
not be any significant repetition of the experimental
procedures or reiteration of the introduction.
Conclusion: A short, paragraph summarizing the most
important findings of the research is required.
Acknowledgments: The source of any financial support,
gifts, technical assistance and advice received for the
work being published must be indicated in the
Acknowledgments section.

Articles need not be divided into sections such as
Materials and methods, and Results and discussion, but
should definitely have an Abstract and Introduction.
Full Length Research Papers: These papers should
describe in detail original and important stages of work
in the fields covered by the IJBMAS.
Short Communications: These should
describe complete and original research work whose
length and/or importance do not justify a full-length
