An abstract gives the reader the brief information about the article, even before giving a read to the whole article so it should round up the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions effectively.

  • Results

    Results include the outcomes of the study. These should be reported in a brief manner. If required, Tables and figures can be included (for statistical analysis).

  • Discussion

    This section interprets the importance of the outcomes in the research; avoid repeating the same and using extensive citations. Authors can combine the results and discussion if necessary but it should be clear and concise. Here, authors can emphasize on the drawbacks of the study.

  • Conclusion

  • Citing in the text

    Assigning reference numbers starts in the introduction make sure the parts of the manuscript are in the correct order for the relevant journal before ordering the citations.

    Reference numbers must be added sequentially as they appear in the text, preferably at the end of the sentence in square brackets, for example [6]. Where more the one reference is cited for a statement then both the numbers must be separated by a comma (,) for example [1, 9, 16]. If consequent number series are cited, the numbers are separated by hyphen, for example [20-25].

  • Preparing the reference list

    References must be arranged consecutively in numerical order of their citation in the text. Only papers published or in press should be provided under references list whereas unpublished or personal communications must be mentioned in parentheses in the text.

In case of Line Art resolution should be 800 dpi, for Combination (Line Art+Halftone) it is 600 dpi. The image must be closely cropped without missing the clarity of the image. At the time of the submission ensure that the figures or images are designated properly and in right orientation.
