OBJECTIVES
The aim of INTERNATIONAL ARCHIVE OF APPLIED SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY is to contribute towards developing and disseminating of knowledge through publishing original research, review papers and short communications in the various fields of life sciences and all relevant areas related to life sciences. Manuscripts must contain significant new findings and must not have been published elsewhere nor be simultaneously under consideration for any other publication outlet.

The length of an original article is the minimum required to describe and interpret the work clearly. Short communication also contain abstract. The list of references should not exceed 15. The presentation of Short Communications should contain headings such as Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, etc. Submissions of review articles and perspectives covering topics of current interest are welcome and encouraged.
PUBLICATION TIME

the names (s) of author(s), affiliation, mailing address and
contact with e-mail of corresponding author, a running short
title not exceeding 40 characters. By-line should contain the
place (organization) where research was conducted.
ABSTRACT

be more than 250 words. Key words (maximum 7) must be given, and
these should appear just beneath the abstract.
INTRODUCTION
Beginning
with a new page, it should be brief and limited to the statement
of the problem/ objectives and aims of the experiments with
brief review of literature pertaining to the type of work.
MATERIALS
AND METHODS
Relevant
details should be given including experimental design and the
technique (s) used along with appropriate statistical methods
used clearly along with the year of experimentation (field and
laboratory).
RESULTS
AND DISCUSSION
It should
include important findings discussed briefly. Wherever
necessary, elaborate on the tables and figures without repeating
their contents. Interpret the findings in view of the results
obtained in this and in past studies on this topic. State the
conclusions in a few sentences at the end of the paper. However,
coloured photographs can be published only if the authors agree
to bear the cost.
REFERENCES
References
should be referred by a number in the text, listed according to
this numbering at the end of the paper. Unpublished data should
not be cited in the references. The references should comprise

Articles in Press (articles that have been accepted for publication but which have not been formally published and will not yet have the complete volume/issue/page information) that include errors, or are discovered to be accidental duplicates of other published article(s), or are determined to violate our journal publishing ethics guidelines in the view of the editors (such as multiple submission, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data or the like), may be “Withdrawn” from website / database. Withdrawn means that the article content (PDF) is removed and replaced with a PDF simply stating that the article has been withdrawn according to the IAAST Policy on Article in Press Withdrawal with a link to the current policy document.
Ø Authors can be Withdraw manuscript within 2 days, after submission.
Ø Manuscript withdrawal will not be possible once the review process has been initiated by the Editorial Board
Ø No withdraw allowed after acceptance of Manuscript/paper title listed in Content/Online Publication.
Ø No return publication fee at any conditions.
