Instructions for authors
The Journal of Experimental and Applied Tropical Biology welcomes high quality submissions (in English and French languages) on all aspects of the aforementioned research areas. All papers submitted to the journal undergo review by the editors and independent peer referees, and papers are accepted for publication only if they are of the
required standard and have not been submitted or considered for publication elsewhere. Copyright of published papers is held by the JEATB.
Submission
- The complete manuscript can be submitted via Editorial systemfollowing all instructions.
NB : Manuscripts written in French should be submitted with an abstract in English and French languages
MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
Article structure
Articles must be separated into clearly defined sections as follow.
1/ Title page
- Title.Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
- Author names and affiliations.Please clearly indicate the given name(s) and family name(s) of each author and ensure that all names are accurately spelled. Prior to submitting the article, all authors should agree on the order in which their names will be listed in the manuscript. Present the authors' affiliation addresses below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name and, if available, the e-mail address of each author, font size 11, font style regular, bold; and centre.
- Corresponding author.Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing publication, and post-publication. This journal allows only one corresponding author. Ensure that the e-mail address and phone number are provided and that contact details are kept up to date by the corresponding author.
- Present/permanent address.If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
2/ Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is required (maximum length 250 words) and the font size must be 10. The abstract should be structured into sections that state briefly the Backgrounds and purpose of the research, Material and Methods, Results and Conclusions.
Keywords : Five (05) meaningful keywords are required, that facilitate electronic search.
3/ Main manuscript
The main manuscript should be written in Times New Roman, font size 12 and double-spaced.
Introduction
The Heading should be written in bold, font size 12 and the text should be justified (alignment).
Present the background to the subject, its significance and its relationship to earlier works, with references, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Then, state the objectives of the work.
Material and methods
Provide sufficient details to allow the work to be reproduced by an independent researcher. Methods that are already published should be summarized, and supported by a reference. If quoting directly from a previously published method, use quotation marks and also cite the source. Any modifications to existing methods should also be described.
Results
Results should be clear and concise in form of tables, figures and any other ways of presenting them. Tables and figures should be placed directly after the related text.
Discussion
This section should explore the significance of the results of the work, but not repeat them. Discuss the principal conclusions drawn from the results and their important implications. A combined Results and Discussion section is not appropriate for this journal. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
Conclusions
The main conclusions of the study should be presented in a short way, which should stand alone right after the Discussion section. Perspectives of further works may be proposed.

Abbreviations:
The acronyms and scientific abbreviations should be defined at first mention in the text, except for the common ones (DNA, RFLP, PCR, ANOVA, etc.).
Units
Units should be from the International System of Units (SI) (English version available at: http://www.bipm.org/en/si/).
For example, hectares and ppm do not belong to the SI and should be changed into m2 and mg/kg or μL/L, respectively. On the SI website you also find the official abbreviation of each unit. For example : 1 h = 60 min = 3600 s and 1 d = 24 h. The official abbreviation of liter is L. We use L to discriminate from 1 (one). Time is expressed as follows: 11h50 a.m. and 5h15 p.m.
Latin names
The Latin names as well as the authority must be cited in full at the first mention in the text and then the genus abbreviated in the following citations. The authority should not appear in the title or the abstract. Latin genus and species must be italicized. If no common name exists in English, only the scientific name should be used. In the title, the species names should be followed by family: order. Example: Vespidae: Hymenoptera.
Geographical coordinates
When the location of the experiment is meaningful, geographic coordinates of the place should be added.
DNA Sequences
The Journal of Experimental and Applied Tropical Biology requires that sequence data generated and used in studies published in the journal be submitted to Genbank prior to publication and the Accession numbers then placed in the manuscript text (or in figures and tables). [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/submit.html].
Tables
Tables should be self-contained and complement, not duplicate, information contained in the text. They should be supplied as editable files, not pasted as images. Legends should be concise but comprehensive – the table, legend, and footnotes must be understandable without reference to the text. All abbreviations must be defined in footnotes. Footnote symbols: †, ‡, §, ¶, should be used (in that order) and *, **, *** should be reserved for P-values. Statistical measures such as SD or SEM should be identified in the footnotes.
Figures
The Journal accepts figures of highest-quality possible, for peer-review purposes. In general, figures in TIF format, 300 pi are recommended.
Line figures (e.g. graphs and charts) can be supplied in black and white so that they are legible if printed by a reader. Photos can be sent in colour. They will be reproduced online free of charge.
Figure Legends
Legends should be concise but comprehensive – the figure and its legend must be understandable without reference to the text. Include definitions of any symbols used and define/explain all abbreviations and units of measurement.
Additional Files
Supplementary files
Supplementary files will be published after the references. For submission they should be supplied as separate files but referred to in the text.
Human Studies and Subjects
For manuscripts that involve human participants, a statement indicating the ethics committee that approved the study is required. A copy of the consent form should be added as supplementary material.
Animal Studies
A statement indicating that the protocol and procedures employed were ethically reviewed and approved, as well as the name of the body granting the approval, must be included in the Methods section of the manuscript. Authors are encouraged to adhere to animal research reporting standards, for example the ARRIVE reporting guidelines for reporting study design and statistical analysis; experimental procedures; experimental animals and housing and husbandry. Authors should also state whether experiments were performed in accordance with relevant institutional and national guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals.
Cover Letter
A cover letter must be sent with the manuscript through the online submission system and must include:
- The novelty, scientific significance and importance of the manuscript.

The publication and the publisher recognize the importance of protecting the personal information collected from users in the operation of these services, and have practices in place to ensure that steps are taken to maintain the security, integrity, and privacy of the personal data collected and processed.
Language editing
For English non-native speakers who often receive negative comments about the English language usage in their manuscripts from peer-reviewers or journal editors, inappropriate language presentation can occlude the intellectual content of a manuscript and lead to a decision of rejection for publication. Therefore, we strongly encourage nonnative English-speaking authors to implement the following recommendations for improving their English language presentation:
- Have your manuscript reviewed for grammatical clarity and appropriate vocabulary
by a colleague whose native language is English.
- Use one of the many English language editing services that specialize in scientific manuscripts, such as:

The Scientific Assistant (www.thescientificassistant.com )
3- Or contact us though our secretariat office. The journal has a professional editing office that can assist you in editing your manuscript and also other publications.
The objective of English language editing is to improve the grammatical structure and vocabulary content of your manuscript and to identify problems that require your revision, in order to ensure that your intended meaning is expressed in a clear and accurate manner.
AFTER SUBMISSION
Once submitted, the manuscript is first assessed by the journal’s editorial office to check whether the files are complete and the relevant meta-data are in order.
Once this phase is complete, manuscripts can be handled by the Chief Editor, or the Section Editor. At this point the manuscript may be rejected if considered inappropriate by the journal.
A section Editor overseeing the peer review process assigns manuscripts that successfully pass the previous step to reviewers according to their expertise.
The reviewers are asked to sum up the manuscript, to perform critical review, and to indicate whether the manuscript should be accepted, revised or approved after modifications. Reviewers evaluate the originality, significance and technical quality of the work, as well as the clarity of the manuscript, and the relevance of the subject matter to the journal.
The final decision for publication of all manuscripts is made by the Editor-in-Chief.
AFTER ACCEPTANCE
If your paper is accepted, the author identified as the formal corresponding author for the paper will receive an email prompting him to sign the copyright agreement on behalf of all authors on the paper.
