5 1. Scope: research paper, short communication and reviews (by invitation) in the field of postharvest, food
6 safety and environment, and bio-discovery of marine and fisheries.
7 2. Language: English. It is preferable that manuscripts are professionally edited. The abbreviated name or
8 expression should be cited in full at first usage, followed by the accepted abbreviation in parentheses.
9 Metric SI units should generally be used. Chemical formulas and solutions must specify the form used,
10 e.g. anhydrous or hydrated and the concentration must be in clearly defined units. Common species
11 names should be followed by the Latin binomial (Italic) at the first mention. We highly encourage authors
12 whose native language other than English, to use a professional English editing service for copyediting
13 and/or proofreading purposes to ensure the readability of the manuscript.
14 3. Manuscript: should be prepared max. 15 pages, composed of 2000-3000 words for a short
15 communication; 4000-5000 words for a research article or 6000-8000 words for a review, double-spaced
16 (except for title, tables, figures, and bibliography which is prepared in single-spaced) in Microsoft Word on
17 A4 paper, font Arial 10 (except for abstract, tables and figures, please use Arial 8). Please provide
18 continuous line numbers in your submitted manuscript to ease the reviewing process.
19
20 Research Paper manuscripts should contain the following sections :
21 a. Title: brief, concise (do not exceed 15 words) and informative, reflecting the manuscript material. Avoid
22 the abbreviation and formula where possible. Author’s name, institution, and address are written under

47 above the table, font (Arial 8).

57 g. Conclusion: Concise considering the title, objectives and research results.
58 h. Acknowledgement: Collate acknowledgements, if any, in separate sections at the end of the article before
