Journal of Arid Arboriculture and Olive Growing

“Journal of Arid Arboriculture and Olive Growing” is inspired by the no longer existing “Revue Ezzaitouna” since 1983. JAAOG is an open-access scientific journal publishing two issues per year related to olive growing and arboriculture in arid environments. It covers the fields of genetic resources and improvement, molecular genetics, plant biology and physiology, soil sciences, rural economics, entomology and phytopathology. The journal publishes original research articles and short communications in English, French and Arabic. Research articles should reflect original results of international interest. Any new submission or parts of it should not have been published elsewhere or under consideration elsewhere. Short communications should be as well documented as research articles, with reference to the literature and description of experimental protocols… etc.

The submission file must be in Word format. The author uses italics rather than underlines and places all illustrations (figures, maps, photos and tables) in their respective places in the text of the article. The article should be presented in Calibri, 1.5 lines spacing, with numbered lines and 2.5 cm margins on all sides. The regular article should not exceed 20 A4 pages including all illustrations and the short paper should not exceed 8 A4 pages. The structure of the regular article and the short communication will be as follows: • First page (Title page)
This page is reserved exclusively for the title, names of authors and their contact details in a centered position, acknowledgments (optional) and sources of funding. The title is in lowercase, bold type and 14 point size. It must be precise, concise but complete. Abbreviations should be avoided and must appear from the first citation in the text. The authors are presented by the full name in lower case and 12 point size and followed by a superscript number to specify their contact details at the bottom. The author to whom all correspondence will be addressed should be marked with a superscript asterisk. The contact details of the authors (postal address of the laboratory or establishment, university, telephone, fax, e-mail address) are preceded by the corresponding number in lower case. An empty line must separate the title, the list of authors, their contact details, the acknowledgments and the funding sources.
Text of the article
The text of the article must be presented in 10 point size and organized according to the following plan:
- Abstracts
- Introduction
- Material and methods
- Results and Discussion (this section can be divided in two separate parts)
- Conclusion
- References
Abstracts should contain a maximum of 300 words and 4-6 keywords. The submitted article should include an abstract in the language of the article and an English abstract with title and keywords.
Titles and subtitles will be in lowercase and bold characters and numbered in Arabic numbers (maximum three levels: 1, 1.1, 1.1.1) starting from the introduction without any withdrawal to the left. An empty line is always present before the titles.
In the text, only the Latin scientific names of plant and animal species should be put in italics. Paragraphs should not start with a withdrawal to the left of the first line.
The experimental models and statistical analyzes must be clearly presented in the text. Illustrations (tables, figures, maps and photos) should be included in the text of the article. They must be called in the body of the text by figure 1, table 1,… etc.
All illustrations, accompanied by legends in the language of the article, must be centered:
- Tables must be provided in a real table structure (rows, columns). Footnotes should be placed below the table and indicated in the table by superscript Arabic numbers. The statistical comparison of the means is made by letters in front of each average. The units of measurement, mentioned in abbreviated form and in parentheses, follow the International System of Units (SI).
- The photographs (photos and maps) must be of excellent quality, very well contrasted with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. If they are not original, it is needed from the author of the manuscript to acknowledge the source.
- Figures will be provided at a sufficient size for better clarity and the size of the letters should be proportional to the figure to accommodate any reduction.
- Mathematical and / or chemical equations and formulas must be presented clearly with careful placement of superscripts and subscripts.
References
References should be presented as follows:
• In the text: The reference is cited by the name of the author in lowercase followed by the year of publication in parentheses as follows:
- Single author case: Label (2000)
- Case of two authors: Label and Mabel (2000)
- Case of several authors: Label et al. (2000)
- When the same first author has several articles during the same year, the year will be followed by letters a, b, c ... etc, to indicate the order.
