  1. Editorial Policy

Similarity: Each manuscript will be checked for similarity and may not exceed the 25% limit.

The editor accepts articles that have not been submitted to other journals or proceedings.  We also accept articles that have appeared in preprint services (for example: arXiv, bioRxiv). The article has been approved by all authors with clear Authors contribution.

Paragraph Spacing: Above paragraph — 0 pt.; below paragraph — 4 pt.

Numbering all pages (center, top of the page).

Lines should be numbered continuously from the first to last page.

Heading 1:  Bold; for example, Materials and Methods

Heading 2:  Bold Italic; for example, Method of Experiment

Spelling: The JAAB uses American or British spelling and yet the uniformity within each paper is required.  Latin words or phrases are in italics, e.g. genus and species, except for very common expressions      such as “i.e.,” “e.g.,” “et al.,” “in vitro,” “ex vitro” and “etc.”
