African Journal of Environmental Pollution and Health publishes original research and review papers on all aspects of environmental pollution and health relevant to the African continent including environmental baseline studies.

Papers submitted should not have been published elsewhere either wholly, or in part. Immediately on publication, the copyright passes to the publisher. Authors are entitled to one copy of their manuscript and one copy of the journal issue containing their manuscript.

PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT:  Prepare  manuscripts in clear concise English  typed double spaced  on A4 paper. Use font size 10  for headings and  for text.

The arrangement  of  the  paper should  follow  the  following  format:

1.     Title: Should be  placed on  first page of text flush with left  margin (do not  use separate  title page). Only capitalize the first letter of  the first  word (all  other words should not  be capitalized, except  for  proper names and places).

2.     Author (s): Place authors initials  and last  names  two  returns below  the  title

3.     Author's Addresses: Place author's addresses two returns below the names. Where applicable use Arabic numerals to number author’s names and corresponding addresses.

4.     Abstract: Type “Abstract” in bold  letters (upper and lower case letters)   on  the first line of  the abstract  text. Remember  to double-space  the abstract.

5.     Key words: Three or  four  keywords should  be placed  two returns below the abstract text.

No page breaks  for remainder of  the  text through  the  reference section. Do  not indent any paragraphs  throughout the  text. All  major  headings should be in bold face (only  capitalize  the  first  letter  of  the first word and  proper  names and  places).

The  major  headings should be arranged as follows: Introduction; Data collection and analyses; Results; Discussion; Acknowledgement; References.

References: References cited in text should  follow  the format(s)  as the  case may be: - Jones (1988); (James et al. 1977, 1988, 1989);  (Peters & Sand 1990); (TT  Akpan, unpub. Data).   All   references in text should be on the  reference list also. Unpublished data  should not be included in  the  reference list.
