Types Of Paper
Regular articles:
These should describe new and carefully confirmed findings, and experimental procedures should be given in sufficient detail for others to verify the work. The length of a full paper should be the minimum required to describe and interpret the work clearly.

Short Communications:
A Short Communication is suitable for recording the results of complete small investigations or giving details of new models or hypotheses, gene isolation and identification, and innovative methods or techniques.

Review and Mini review:
Submissions of Reviews and mini-reviews covering topics of current interest are welcome and encouraged. Review and mini-reviews are also peer-reviewed.
