Author Guidelines

Guidelines to prepare a Manuscript:

Cover Letter

The author should supply an approximately one page cover letter that:

  • Concisely summarizes why your paper is a valuable addition to the scientific literature
  • Specifies the type of article you are submitting (for example, research article, systematic review, meta-analysis, case study)
  • Gives the complete details of the Corresponding author (address for correspondence, contact number in case of urgent query).

Manuscript Organization

The length of a submitted paper should be commensurate with the importance, or appropriate to the complexity, of the work. The manuscript should have 2000 - 2500 words. The manuscript has to be submitted in the single column and should have the following layout or divisions:

Manuscripts should begin with the ordered sections:

  • Title
  • Authors
  • Affiliations
  • Abstract
  • Introduction

and end with the sections of:

  • Acknowledgments
  • References
  • Figure Legends
  • Tables

The title, authors, and affiliations should all be included on a title page as the first page of the manuscript file.

Authors and Affiliations

All author names should be listed in the following order:

  • First names (or initials, if used),
  • Middle names (or initials, if used), and
  • Last names (surname, family name)

Each author should list an associated department, university, or organizational affiliation and its location, including city, state/province (if applicable), and country. If the article has been submitted on behalf of a consortium, all author names and affiliations should be listed at the end of the article.

Abstract

This section highlights the main points of the article, outlines the results and conclusions and elucidates the significance of the results (Note that no references should be cited in the abstract)

Keywords

There should be minimum of three and maximum of five keywords.

Section Headings

Introduction

The introduction section  should:

  • Provide background that puts the manuscript into context and allows readers outside the field to understand the purpose and significance of the study
  • Define the problem addressed and why it is important
  • Include a brief review of the key literature
  • Conclude with a brief statement of the overall aim of the work and a comment about whether that aim was achieved

Materials and Methods

In the materials and methods section, the past is more natural because you are describing work that is already complete at the time of writing. Thus, it is simply a description of your actions.

Results and Discussion

This section should be placed separately. It must represent sufficient experimental data to enable the experiments to be repeated. Authors must notify the main findings of the research, providing a clear explanation of their significance and relevance.

Conclusion/s

This section should contain a short conclusion text.

Acknowledgement/s

This section should contain a precise and short acknowledgement text.

Figures, Tables and Schemes

There should be no spelling errors\typo in the artwork in the Figures.
All the Figures and Tables are to be numbered and should be suitably cited in the text at their appropriate description, e.g., Figure 1 and Tables 1 and 3.
