INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTRIBUTORS

AIM: Journal of Intelligence and Security Issues (J Intel Security Issues) is designed for prompt publication of original and significant articles in the field of Biology. It aims to serve as a forum of life scientists and health professionals, especially those who share common interest in understanding living beings.

EDITORIAL POLICY: It contains original papers on current research and practical programmes, short notes, news items, book reviews, reports of meetings and professional announcements. Constructive critiques and discussions of published papers and letters, which are of relevance and of interest to the readership, are published at the discretion of the Editor. The journal is published in English; spelling and usage conforms to the Oxford English Dictionary; for consistency and simplicity in style because for many subscribers English is a second language. Place names should be spelled in the form officially used in the country under discussion; where this differs from the commonly known name of the English-language name, the other name should be written in parentheses. For practical purposes, accents may be omitted on non-English names.
