ABOUT THE JOURNAL

The FUPRE Journal of PetroScience (FUPREJP) is a peer reviewed journal that publishes hot topics and research results/articles/papers, communications, and reviews in all aspects of Science and Applied Science fields. It receives submissions at any time of the year, after which the manuscript is assigned to a sectional editor who sends the work out for review. The papers are accepted based on the outcome of the peer review process and the editorial assessment.

The mission of this journal is to make it easy for researchers to have access to cutting-edge innovations in the field of sciences and applied sciences.

Objectives

Contributors/Authors Guidelines

The journal will accept papers at any time of the year and publish online, but the print copies would be printed twice a year – in May and December. The format for the presentation of the manuscript is as follows: Title, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgment, and References.

Keywords

Key words (3-5) should be below the Abstract to assist with indexing of the articles. These should not duplicate key words from the title.

1. Originality

The research submitted by authors must be original articles not submitted elsewhere. Review articles should stimulate the interest of the readers, and all articles must be in clear and understandable language.

2. Requirement

All manuscripts must be prepared in English and in Microsoft Word format using a 12-point font of Times New Roman. Manuscripts submitted to this journal should not have been previously published, nor should they be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Also, it is considered that the author has obtained any necessary authorization for publication of the material submitted.

Authors are required to certify in a cover letter that: "This manuscript has not been previously published nor is it currently under consideration for publication in another journal." Prior to submission, authors are encouraged to take advantage of professional language editing and copyediting services. Electronic copies of manuscripts, typewritten in Times New Roman (12), should be properly arranged before sending as attachments to fuprejp@fupre.edu.ng.

Title Papers

The title should be concise, clear, and reflect the content of the paper.

Names and Address of the Authors

The names of the authors should follow the title. The address of the place where the research was conducted should be given. Avoid the use of titles for authors. Also, email addresses and phone numbers should be specified for easy reach.

Abstract

The abstract should be clear and concise, and not more than 300 words. The abstract should give the scope, purpose, procedures, significant results, and conclusions of the research work.

Introduction

The introduction should contain the purpose of the study being reported. There should be an adequate literature search of works done earlier to reflect the knowledge gap. Literature that does not contribute to understanding the problem or research work should not be included.

7. Materials and Methods

The authors should state procedures of common knowledge and avoid clumsy explanations. Details should be referred to in cited literature. New approaches or methodology should, however, receive detailed attention.

8. Results and Discussion

The results and discussion should be combined. Direct repetition of methodology should be avoided in this section. Authors should discuss their results and avoid just highlighting them.

9. Tables and Figures

Tables and figures should be placed in appropriate places within the text. The figures should be tagged appropriately, and the table headings should be formatted correctly.

10. Nomenclature and Abbreviations

Authors are requested to follow the nomenclature and abbreviations that are found in other reputable journals. Specialized terms, unusual abbreviations, trade names, and semi-ambiguous terms should be defined at first use.

11. Acknowledgment

Acknowledgment should be kept to a minimum. All assistance obtained in the form of finance or data collection may be indicated.

12. References

Bibliographic references in the text appear as (Twows, 2010) using brackets. When there are more than two authors, only the first author’s name should be mentioned, followed by “et al.” Papers by the same author in the same year should be identified by lower-case letters (such as ‘a’, ‘b’, or ‘c’) after the date to distinguish the works.

13. Electronic Copies

Upon acceptance of a manuscript, the FUPRE Journal of Petroscience requires an electronic copy of an error-free manuscript based on the comments of the reviewers. It should be prepared on a compatible system using Microsoft Word.

14. Page Charges

Handling and page charges are levied on authors. Each article must be accompanied by a processing fee of Five Thousand Naira (N5000.00), and a page charge of Thirty Thousand Naira (N30000.00) is required for the first 8 pages. An additional One Thousand Naira (N1000.00) is charged per page thereafter, following a successful peer review process. Payments should be made to the Zenith Bank account of the Federal University of Petroleum Resources College of Science Conference. Scanned tellers should be sent as attachments along with the manuscript to fuprejp@fupre.edu.ng.

15. Submission of Manuscripts

Manuscripts should be submitted to the Managing Editor as an attached file in MS-Word format to managingeditor@fupre.edu.ng.
