Author Guidelines

Follow these steps to prepare and submit your manuscript to the International Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences (IJBAS).

1. Check that your manuscript fits the journal

IJBAS considers original research articles, review articles, short communications, technical notes, and case studies where applicable. The manuscript must be original, must not be under consideration by another journal, and must fall within the journal's Aims and Scope. The corresponding author must ensure that every co-author has reviewed and approved the submission.

2. Prepare the main manuscript

Submit the main manuscript in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or LaTeX format, written in clear, professional English. Authors using Word may use the IJBAS Word template. For LaTeX submissions, include the source files, bibliography, figures, and any other files needed to compile the manuscript.

The manuscript should generally include the title, author names and affiliations, corresponding-author information, abstract and keywords, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, conclusions, acknowledgements where applicable, and references.

3. Provide author details

List all authors in the correct order and without professional titles. Provide each author's complete institutional affiliation and email address. Add ORCID iDs where available and identify the corresponding author.

4. Write the abstract and keywords

Provide an abstract of no more than 250 words that states the purpose, briefly describes the methods, summarizes the main findings, and presents the principal conclusions. Do not include references, figures, tables, or unexplained abbreviations in the abstract. Provide 4–6 accurate keywords and enter the same keywords in OJS.

5. Prepare figures, tables, and equations

  • Cite figures and tables in the text and number them consecutively.
  • Use clear, high-quality figures and concise captions.
  • Explain all symbols, abbreviations, and units.
  • Place each figure or table near its first citation where practical.
  • Format and number equations clearly when cited in the text.

Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reuse copyrighted material.

6. Format the references

Cite references numerically in square brackets, for example [1], and arrange the reference list in order of citation. Include DOI links whenever available.

Book: A.H. Nayfeh, Perturbation Methods, John Wiley, New York, USA, 1973.

Book chapter: K.E. McCash, Applying critical thinking to the nursing process, in: Medical Surgical Nursing—Assessment and Management of Clinical Problems, Mosby Inc., St. Louis, MO, USA, 2005, pp. 3–13.

Online resource: Include the author or organization, page title, website, URL, and access date.

7. Add statements that apply to your study

Provide funding, competing interests, ethics approval, informed consent, and data availability statements where applicable. Use “None” or “Not applicable” when appropriate. Upload supplementary data or supporting files separately when relevant.

8. Submit and follow the manuscript

Submit through the online submission system. Enter the title, abstract, keywords, and author details exactly as they appear in the manuscript. You can save your progress and return later. Reviewer suggestions are optional.

Before acceptance, upload revised Word or LaTeX files and a point-by-point response through OJS so that the editorial and peer-review record remains complete. Review typically takes 4–8 weeks, depending on reviewer availability and revision rounds. Track the status through your dashboard; if assistance is needed, email IJBAS@sciencepubco.com and include the submission ID.

9. After acceptance

After acceptance, the corresponding author may send the final Word or LaTeX files to IJBAS@sciencepubco.com. For LaTeX submissions, include all source, bibliography, figure, and supporting files needed to compile the article. The same final files do not need to be uploaded twice.

The Article Processing Charge is USD 600, payable only after acceptance following peer review. There is no submission fee, and payment does not influence editorial decisions or peer-review standards. See the Article Processing Charges page.
