Manuscript Preparation Guidelines

Articles file format and structure                                                                   

A file should process preferably using ‘MS Word’ in English and saved as .doc/.docx format.  Times New Roman 11 font should be used to prepare the manuscript with single spacing. Article should be typed on one side of A4 sized paper having margins of at least 25 mm around. The article should be dividing into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. excluding the abstract. The paper must have segments, such as ‘Introduction’, ‘Materials and Methodology’, ‘Results and Discussions’, ‘Conclusion’, ‘References’, 'Acknowledgements' and so on.

First page and Title

The first page of the manuscript should contain the Title, the name of the Author and Co-authors along with the address of the institution where the work was carried out. The email of corresponding author should be mentioned. The Title should be concise and informative as titles are often used in information-retrieval systems and represent scientific findings.

Abstract and keywords

A concise and factual abstract is required (maximum length 250 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone.  The authors should provide 8-10 keywords below the abstract.

Introduction 

State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Only essential information should be presented.

Materials and Methods 

This segment should be brief but contain adequate details about the materials studied, period of study, instruments used, procedures, chemicals source and related experimental details.

Results and Discussion

Results should be clear and concise. This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate but not always. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.

Conclusion 

The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section. Manuscript should have relevant conclusion (limit of 350) and should reflect the importance and future scope. 

Acknowledgements

Place acknowledgements, including information on grants received, before the references, in a separate section, and not as a footnote on the title page.

Appendices 

If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq. (B.1) and so on. Similarly for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.

Figure captions

Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions separately, not attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.

Tables 

Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.

Reference

References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters 'a', 'b', 'c', etc., placed after the year of publication.
