All submitted manuscripts must be compromised from the following sections: title page, Abstract, keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, Conflict of interest, Author’s contribution and References. Submitted articles should be divided into numbered sections and sub-sections to starting from Introduction section to achieve highest possible text clarity.
1.1 Title page
Title page must contain title, Running title, list of authors, their affiliations and corresponding author full information’s. The title should be informative and concise, not include non-standard abbreviations and no more than 60 words. Running title should be informative, summarized and not exceed 40 characters.

1.2 Abstract
The abstract should provide background information on the research, and should clarify its purpose, basic procedures (choice of subjects or laboratory animals, methods of monitoring and analysis), key findings (giving specific impact sizes and statistical significance, if possible), and main conclusions. New and important aspects of the study or observations should be emphasized. The magazine does not accept abbreviations in the abstract.
1.3 Keywords
A maximum of 7 keywords are provided immediately after the abstract, separated by commas, to clarify the content of the article and help with the international indexing of your research and readers to access your paper.
1.4 All abbreviations and acronyms must be defined the first time they are used in the text, even after they have been defined in the abstract.
1.5 Introduction
In the introduction section, provide sufficient background information to explain the reasons for conducting the work and clearly indicate the nature of the hypotheses of the study tested as well as the objectives of the study.
1.6 Materials and Methods
Clearly present all experiments to allow reproduction of the work and draw attention to the important details in the text shown in the illustrations. Methods that have already been published should be indicated by reference and describe only relevant edits.
1.7 Results
The results should be clear and concise in providing the experimental data and showing the important details shown in the illustrations in the text.
1.8 Discussion
It should be concise and clear exploring the significance of the results of the study compared to the reasons for conducting the work and discuss the validity of observations on the results in the light of other studies published on the same topics.
1.8 Acknowledgements
Provides information about sources of funding and lists people who have somehow contributed to the work, but are not listed as authors.
1.9 Conflict of Interest
All authors should disclose any financial and personal relationships with other persons or organizations that may improperly affect (bias) their work. Examples of potential conflicts of interest include consultancies, employment, honoraria, stock ownership, grants or other funding. If there is no conflict of interest, please state: "No conflict of interest".
1.10Authors' contribution
Provides the role of each author in the development of the study and/or preparation of the manuscript, and each author should be referred to by the initials.
1.11 References
Citation in text
Please make sure that each reference mentioned in the text is also in the list of references (and vice versa). Unpublished results and personal contacts are not recommended in the bibliography but can be mentioned in the text. If these references are listed, they must follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a replacement of the publication date with "unpublished results" or "personal communication". Citing a "in-publish" reference indicates that the item has been accepted for publication.
Reference style
In the text: All citations in the text should refer to:
1. Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;
2. Two authors: both authors' family names and the year of publication;
3. Three or more authors: first author's name followed by 'et al.' and the year of publication.
Citations may be made directly (or parenthetically). Groups of references can be listed either first alphabetically, then chronologically, or vice versa.
Examples: 'as demonstrated (Zhao, 2001a, 2001b, 2000; Zhao and Park, 2000)….Or, as demonstrated (Park, 1999; Duo, 2000)… Kumar et al. (2010) have recently shown ……..'
References list: References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters 'a', 'b', 'c', etc., placed after the year of publication.

2. Peer review
The journal operates a single-blind review process. All contributions will initially be assessed by the editor to ensure their suitability to the journal. Thereafter, papers deemed appropriate are sent to at least two independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. The Editor is responsible for the final decision on whether to accept or reject articles. The decision of editor is final.
3. Article-processing Charge
Recent Research in Genetics and Genomics is an open-access journal, as all articles will be permanently free for everyone to read and download. Therefore, once an article is accepted for publication, the corresponding author is required to pay 100 Dollars to cover production costs. Payments will be received through PayPal's overseas system, which is a secure, flexible and well-paid service for online payments, or by bank transfer.
