Instructions to Authors
Aims and Scope
Pakistan Journal of Agricultural Sciences is published quarterly in a calendar year. It is devoted to the advancement and dissemination of scientific knowledge concerning all disciplines related to agricultural sciences. Papers are published with the understanding that they have not been and, will not be published elsewhere. The responsibility for the preparation of a paper according to the layout and style of the journal lies with the author(s). The research papers not according to the format of the journal will not be accepted. Preference is given to articles of not more than 6 printed pages.
Title
It should be concise yet informative. It should get the attention of a potential reader while scanning a journal or a list of titles. Title of the paper is in capitals. Author names are in lower case with initial capitals and their complete postal addresses in italics including e-mail and telephone No. Main section headings (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Acknowledgement(s), References) are printed in capitals throughout and placed by the left margin. All manuscripts must have a short title, up to six key words and an abstract (without writing the heading “Abstract” on it). The abstract should consist of no more than 200 words, be complete in itself and understandable without reference to the paper. It will be printed at the beginning of the paper in one continuous paragraph.
Introduction

Materials and Methods
These should be concise but allow confirmation of observations and repetition of the study.
Results
Present your results in a logical sequence in the text, tables and figures. Do not repeat in the text all the data given in the tables and figures, emphasize or summarize only important observations.
Discussion
Summarize the findings without repeating in detail the data in results section. Relate your observations to important relevant studies; point out the implications of the results and their limitations.
References
All the references included in the text should be listed in the section “References”. Text citations should quote the surnames of the authors in one of the two ways: With the year in parentheses: “Ahmed (1991) has shown…….”. With the name and year in parentheses: “According to recent findings (Ahmad, 1991)…….”. Multiple references should be as follows: Ahmed et al., 1993 and 1994; Ahmad et al., 1993a and b. References are listed alphabetically by surname. Secondly, use chronological order for papers with identical authorship. The sequence of names of authors (invert name of first author only), year of publication, title {lower case letters except for books, proceedings of international seminars/workshops and important research reports where capitals are used for first letters of various words), abbreviated name of periodicals, volume and number of first and last pages of the article. All reference entries must be cited in the body of the paper. Do not include unpublished material, except theses, in the references. Some example references are:
