| Type of Manuscript | Description & Requirements |
|---|---|
| Original Research Article | Presents new, previously unpublished findings from empirical, experimental, or theoretical research. Must include clearly defined sections: Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, and References. Recommended length: 6,000–8,000 words excluding references and figures. |
| Review Article | Provides a comprehensive, critical, and balanced synthesis of recent advances in a specific field of tropical biodiversity or environmental science. Should identify gaps, trends, and future research directions, and be based on up-to-date literature. Recommended length: 8,000–12,000 words; must cite at least 50 relevant recent publications. |
| Short Communication | Concise report of significant preliminary findings, novel observations, or focused results that merit rapid publication. Format is streamlined with combined Results and Discussion where appropriate. Maximum length: 3,000 words; up to 3 figures or tables. |
| Technical & Methodological Paper | Describes new or significantly improved methods, protocols, analytical tools, field techniques, or experimental approaches relevant to tropical biodiversity and environmental research. Must include validation or comparative assessment against existing methods where applicable. Recommended length: 4,000–6,000 words. |
| Conceptual & Perspective Paper | Advances new theoretical frameworks, proposes innovative concepts, or presents reasoned viewpoints on emerging issues in the field. Includes well-argued analysis supported by literature and clearly stated implications for research or policy. Recommended length: 4,000–6,000 words. |
| Case Study | In-depth investigation of a specific site, ecosystem, conservation initiative, or environmental intervention within tropical regions. Must provide broader insights or generalisable lessons beyond the study site itself. Recommended length: 4,000–6,000 words. |
