Abstract

General Instructions

Authors should submit electronic copy of the manuscript to:

journals@funaab.edu.ng and

unaabasset@yahoo.com. 

Correspondence should be to:

The Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Humanities, Social Sciences and Creative Arts, Federal University of Agriculture, P.M.B 2240, Abeokuta, Postcode 110001. Ogun State,  Nigeria.

Papers published in the Journal are based on original research or continuation of previous studies that are reproducible. Papers to be published in the Review Section should be authoritative, topical and very current.

Manuscripts should be typed on A4 (216 x 279mm) paper, double spaced with wide margins (2.54cm) and line numbered where possible.

Text: Should appear in the following order: Title, Authors’ names, Address of Authors, e-mail and Telephone addresses, Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgements, References. Tables, Figure Legends and Figures should be embedded in the relevant section of the text.  Main section headings should be bold, centralized and upper case letters. Do not underline the title or section headings. Subsections may be included and only the first letter of the subsection should be capitalized. Avoid excessive fragmentation of the paper.

Use SI units of measurement, and italicize all Latin words and scientific names. Use numerals before standard units of measurements, e.g., 3g, 9 days; 36 hrs; otherwise use words for numbers one to nine and numerals for larger numbers. For commonly used terms and abbreviations, consult a very good dictionary. Non Standard abbreviations should be avoided, and where used, they should be explained at their first mention.

Footnotes should be avoided in favour of endnotes (and these only where absolutely necessary).
