| THE EGYPTIAN JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY (Botany) GUIDE FOR AUTHORS Manuscripts can only be submitted through our on-line system: http://my.ejmanager.com/ejeb/ All manuscript submissions are peer-reviewed before being accepted for publication. In submitting a manuscript to The Egyptian Journal of Experimental Biology (Botany), the authors affirm that the manuscript is not being submitted elsewhere. The corresponding author is required to sign the Copyright Release Form on behalf of all authors before processing of the manuscript can begin. Note: Before publication, the galley proofs always sent to the authors for corrections. Mistakes/omissions that occur due to some negligence on our part during the final printing will be rectified in an errata section in a later issue. However, this does not include those errors left uncorrected by the authors in the galley proofs. After the manuscript has been accepted for publication, i.e. after referee-recommended revisions are complete, the author will not be permitted to make any additions. The use of someone else’s ideas or words in their original form or slightly changed without a proper citation is considered plagiarism and will not be tolerated. Even if a citation is given, if quotation marks (“ ”) are not placed around words taken directly from another author’s work, the author is still guilty of plagiarism. Reuse of the author’s own previously published words, with or without a citation, is regarded as self-plagiarism. All manuscripts received are submitted to iThenticate®, the plagiarism checking system, which compares the content of the manuscript with a vast database of web pages and academic publications. Manuscripts judged to be plagiarised or self-plagiarised, based on the iThenticate® report or any other source of information, will not be considered for publication. Repetitive use of long sentences and passive tense should be avoided. It is strongly recommended that the text be run through computer spelling and grammar programs. Spelling should be British English and should be consistent throughout, Arabic summary should be supplied. All abbreviations and acronyms should be defined at first mention. To facilitate reader comprehension, abbreviations should be used sparingly. Latin terms such as et al., in situ, in vitro, or in vivo should be italicized.
