  • Color figures are allowed in special circumstances, provided that the author is willing to cover the cost of reproduction.
  • If the original size of the figures is too large, authors can provide JANH with lower-quality figures after the acceptance of the manuscript.

Units of Measurement

  • For measurements use SI (System International) units.
  • Measurements should be abbreviated (e.g. mm, kcal, etc.) following the Style Manual for Biological Sciences and the metric system should be used.
  • Measurements of length, height, weight, and volume should be reported in appropriate scientific units.
