Minimum Requirements for manuscripts submission

Authors should know that there are fourteen minimal requirements expected of all manuscripts submitted to the Special Journal Anatomy and Physiology Research [SJ-APR] for review and consideration before publication

1. Editorial office pre-review to confirm manuscripts are within the scope of listed journals and are in strict conformity with the writing style, quality, accuracy and novelty recommended by the scientific and technical advisory committee (STAC) for all our journals. This can be completed with 48hours.
2. Authors are advised to agree/disagree to pay for the handling charges should their manuscripts be accepted for publication or 50% of the handling charges to qualify to receive detailed comments from reviewers believed to assist them to prepare the manuscript for publication somewhere else. To stop the process, authors can disagree at this point and choose to opt-out.
3. Sending of manuscripts to a minimum of two professional peer reviewers for their independent and unbiased judgment regarding the suitability of manuscripts for publication in any of our journals. This can last for 2 weeks depending on the response of reviewers?
4. Authors are given the chance to respond to reviewers’ concerns or confirm they agree with reviewers’ comments about their manuscripts even if there are no concerns or comments. This can last for 1 week
5. The editorial board makes the final decisions about manuscripts’ fate/status. At this point, authors will be allowed to pay the mandatory nonrefundable fee of US$250 for middle and low-income countries and US$500 for all high income developed countries of the world.
6. All accepted manuscripts will undergo an editorial upgrade, galley proof preparation for author’s approval, plagiarism check, grammar assessment for novelty and quality. Online publication can take place within one week after galley proof correction is received and approved by the editorial board.
7. If authors are willing to respond to authors’ comments, within a specified time, providing all information needed, then rejected manuscripts can be resubmitted for a fresh peer review.
8. Rejected manuscripts are sent back to the corresponding author(s) for upgrade according to reviewers’ comments. Duration for response is usually two weeks but we will prefer it should last for one week or we assume the manuscript was withdrawn by the authors
9. Manuscripts must provide answers to unanswered public health, socio-demographic, socio-economic, Biomedical, Pathological and Clinical questions, and other research questions 
10.  There must be a clearly descriptive innovative way for early detection (Diagnostic), prevention (Vaccine) and control (management) of human disease
11. Outlines the role of vectors in disease transmission  
12. Elucidates the science behind host-microbial interactions that will ultimately improve current knowledge on diagnosis prevention and control of diseases
13. Illuminates the molecular and phenotypic markers/predictors of host colonization/infections with special pathogens and how this knowledge will lead to effective forecast prevention and control of diseases  
14. Explains diagnostic approaches leading to better prevention and control of disease agents including but not limited to: new media discovery or improvement of existing ones, genomics of diseases, population genetics
15. Highlights modern approaches in the use of immune-, chemo-, radio, bio, herbal-therapies for prevention and control diseases
