Each volume of the journal comprises two issues published in June and December every year.
The manuscript should be typewritten in double space with wide margins (left and top 3.81 cm, right and bottom 2.54 cm) on 29.21 × 21.59 cm good quality bond or A4 size (21.0 x 29.7 cm) offset paper and should not exceed ten pages.

Preparation of the manuscript should conform to the style and format in the latest issue of the journal.
Each paper should be submitted in duplicate to the Chief Editor, Bangladesh Journal of Botany, C/o. Department of Botany, University of Dhaka, Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh.
The following instructions should be followed during preparation of the manuscript: On the first page of the manuscript, only the Title of the paper and the name(s) of the author(s) with the address should be typed.
