4. Introduction
5. Materials and Methods,
6. Results and Discussions
7. Conclusion
8. Acknowledgement (optional)
9. References
10. Figure
11. Table
Title Page:

Title page should contain title of the article in bold face, title case (font size 14), names of the authors in normal
face, upper case (font size 12) followed by the address in normal face lower case. Names of the authors should
appear as initials followed by surnames. At the bottom left corner of the title page, please mention address for
correspondence and provide a functional e-mail address.
Abstract:

(12 Font), It should give the brief idea of manuscript and should not exceed more than 250 words.
Keywords

Provide and arrange four to five appropriate keywords alphabetically after abstract.

Introduction

Introduction should start on a new page after the abstract & key-words. The Introduction should provide a clear
statement of the problem, the relevant recent literature on the subject, objectives of the research study, and the
proposed approach or solution.

Materials and Methods

Materials and Methods should start as a continuation to introduction on the same page. All important materials used
along with their source shall be mentioned. The main methods used shall be briefly described with appropriate
reference. New methods or substantially modified methods may be described in sufficient detail. Methods in general
use need not be described in detail. The statistical method and the level of significance chosen shall be clearly
stated.

Results

Results section should start as a continuation to materials and methods on the same page. This section should focus
on the execution of stated objectives as given in the introduction part of the research study. It should contain the
findings represented in the form of tables, figures and photographs. All tables and figures must have a title or
caption and a legend to make them self explanatory. The data should be statistically analyzed and the level of
significance stated.

Discussion

Discussion section should follow results, deal with the interpretation of results, convey how they help to increase the
current understanding of the problem and should be logical. Unsupported hypothesis should be avoided. The
Discussion should state the possibilities the results uncover, that need to be further explored. The Results and
Discussion sections when appropriate can be combined as Results and Discussion.
Conclusion

A short, paragraph summarizing the most important finding of the research is required.

Acknowledgements

Authors should obtain permission to acknowledge from all those mentioned in the Acknowledgements. Please list
the source(s) of funding for the study, for each author, and for the manuscript preparation in the acknowledgements
section. Also include their source(s) of funding, acknowledge anyone who contributed materials vital for the study.

References

The references should be listed on a separate sheet and should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they
are first mentioned in the text (not in alphabetical order). Cite the references in the text by the appropriate number
e.g. [1], [2, 3], [4-6], [7, 8-10] and the numbers should be within square brackets. Avoid using abstracts as
references. Nothing should be italicized.

Figure

. Figures should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals (i.e. Figure 1, 2, 3 etc.).
. Provide a brief title with each figure.
. All figures should be cited in the text.
. File formats accepted are Microsoft Word (figures must be a single page), PowerPoint (figures must be a
single page), PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, CDX (Chem Draw) or TGF (ISIS/Draw).
Tables
. Please keep the number of tables to a minimum.
. Tables should be numbered consecutively (Table 1, Table 2 etc) and each table must start on a separate
page at the end of the manuscript.
. Each table must have a title. Each table legend, in paragraph form, should briefly describe the content and
define any abbreviations used. If values are cited in a table, the unit of measurement must be stated.
. Tables should not be ruled.
. Tables should be created using Microsoft Word table formatting tools (do not use the tab key to form rows
and columns of data as tab information is lost when the document is processed.
. Do not use vertical rules (lines) in tables and use of horizontal lines should be minimum.

REVIEW ARTICLE

Review articles should contain up-to-date information providing comprehensive coverage of relevant literature.
Review articles should preferably be written by scientists who have in-depth knowledge of the topic. All format
requirements are similar to those applicable to Research papers. Review Articles need not be divided into sections
such as Materials and methods, and Results and discussion, but should definitely have an abstract and
introduction. There is no page limit for Review Article.

SHORT COMMUNICATIONS

The research and technical communications section of this journal (maximum 3,000 words) is open to interesting
results worthy of publication without requiring extensive introduction and discussion. This section should be
organized as follows: Abstract, Introduction, Materials and methods, Results and discussion (combined). Not more
than 10 references should be provided. Tables, figures and references are to be arranged in the same way as for
research papers. Brevity of presentation is essential for this section.
