The journal of Advances in Life Sciences is essentially devoted to the publication of original research paperson allaspects of biosciences. All papers and short communication submitted to must be unpublished original works. The manuscripts in English should bein a finished form and typed on oneside of A4 sizepaper and double spaced throughout with ample margins. Pages should be numbered consecutively beginning from the title page. Text in any format (tables and figure included or separately) on CD in MS word with two hard copies or sent through email to ss_ali@rediffmail.com as attached file (s) is preferred since it saves retyping.
Research Papers: Each full length of research papers should be covered within 1500 words including tables and illustrations. Short communication should be within 175 words including tables, figures and references, in case of exceeding the limit, payment has to be made for extra materials by the authors. Correct language is the responsibility of the author. No editing or materials changes at the proof stage will be permitted.

MATERIALSAND METHODS :When methods are well known, citation of the standard work is sufficient. All measurement should be in metric units.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION : The result should be supported by brief and adequate tables, graphs and charts, wherever needed.

Journal titles should be cited in full and in italics, while for books the place of the publication should precede the name of the publisher, Example Strong, D.R. 2002.
