Research papers must not exceed <strong>20 manuscript pages</strong>, including tables and figures.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Short Papers </em>are used to publish results which represent a major finding or a new discovery, not including preliminary results, which should therefore be published quickly. Short Papers should contain sufficient data to establish that the research has achieved reliable and significant results.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Technical Notes should report new methods and/or procedures for research methodology.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Short papers and technical notes, which present results of brief but significant work, must not exceed 10 manuscript pages, including tables and figures.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Review Articles</em>: Only invited reviews will be considered for publication. Authors wishing to publish a review article should seek prior approval from Editor-in-Chief, by sending the abstract and a cover letter indicating the importance of the review to <a href="mailto:info@trjfas.org">info@trjfas.org</a>.

They should represent a quick snippet of the results—short and intriguing. Each Highlight should have no more than 90 characters, including spaces.  </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <strong>ETHICAL STATEMENTS</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> Please ensure that all research studies submitted papers have been conducted in an ethical and responsible manner, and s n full compliance with all relevant codes of experimentation and legislations. STUDIES IN ANIMALS Ethics Committee Report The journal has the right to ask authors to submit ethics committee reports or an equivalent official document if required. All animal experiments should comply with the ARRIVE guidelines and should be carried out in accordance with the U.K. Animals (Scentfc Procedures) Act, 1986 and associated guidelines, EU Directive 2010/63/EU for animal experiments, or the National Institutes of Health guide for the care and use of Laboratory animals (NIH Publications No. 8023, revised 1978).
