General Information
Natural Resources (NR) is an international peer-reviewed, open access journal
publishing in English original research studies, reviews in all aspects of natural
resources throughout the world. Symposia or workshop papers may be published as
supplements.
The submitted manuscript should not have been previously published in any form
and must not be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Manuscript Preparation
To expedite the review process, please format the manuscript in ways as follow:
1. Prepare your manuscript as a single PDF or MS Word document. The file should
include the complete text, references, tables and figures. Any revised manuscripts
prepared for publication should be sent as a single editable Word document. LaTex
paper is also acceptable for publication, but it should be in PDF for review first.
2. Manuscripts should be written in English and include a 100-300 word abstract.
3. Make sure all the characters in the text, tables, figure legends, footnotes and
references are in a single typeface and point size such as 12 pt Times New Roman.
Once a manuscript is accepted, a copy editor will decide the typeface and size of the
different elements of the article.
4. Submit all figures or photographs as jpg or tif files with distinct characters and
symbols at 500 dpi (dots per inch). Tables and equations should be in an editable
rather than image version. Tables must be edited with Word. Equations must be
edited with Equation Editor.
5. Type your manuscript single spaced. This will save pages, makes it easier for
reviewers to handle and helps slow down global warming by using less paper.
6. All references should be numbered in square brackets in the text and listed in the
REFERENCES section in the order they appear in the text, as shown below:
