Corresponding author: Clearly indicate who is responsible
for correspondence at all stages of refereeing and
publication, including post-publication. Email id of the
corresponding author should be provided clearly.
5.3 General Format:
Standard A4 size (21 cm x 29.7 cm); all margins should be
2.5 cm; Text font and size: Times New Roman 12 point,
double line space; alignment: Justified. Each page and line
of the manuscript should be numbered.
5.4 General Presentation :
The content should include following major sections:
‘Abstract’, ‘Introduction’, ‘Experimental’, ‘Results and
Discussion’, ‘Conclusions’ and ‘Acknowledgements’ (if any).
References, tables and figures are to be provided after the
text. All the tables should be provided sequentially after the
text and should be accompanied by corresponding Table no.
and caption. All the figures should be provided sequentially
after the tables and should be followed by corresponding
Fig. no. and caption. In addition, the original files of each
individual figure (jpeg or tiff) should also be provided
separately (jpeg or tiff; not pasted in the doc file).
5.4.1 An abstract for a paper / review article is to be provided at the beginning which should be brief indicating scope of the work and principal findings. It should not normally exceed 200 words, and should be followed by 4 to 5 keywords.
5.4.2 Introduction, Introduction, including a review of the literature, should not exceed what is necessary to indicate the reason for taking up the work and the essential background.
5.4.3 Description of techniques and equipment should generally be included in short in the Experimental section of the manuscript.
5.4.4 If possible, Results and Discussion may not be intermingled; the discussion should be restricted to logical interpretation as a basis for conclusions supported by the results. Information density must be high, and verbose and
roundabout expressions should be avoided.
5.4.5. References: The author is responsible for accuracy.
Literature reference should be in separate sheets at the
end of the paper in the order in which they appear and are
numbered in the text. The reference numbers should be
cited as superscripts in the text.
The cited references should be up to date. Each reference should provide the following information in the sequence set out below:

(iv) Website references are also acceptable. |
5.5. Tables:
Tables should be numbered with Roman numerals in the
order in which they are referred to in the text. Each table
should be accompanied by a title which makes the
information intelligible without reference to the text. The
number of columns should be kept to a minimum. Long
column headings should be avoided by the use of explanatory
footnote indicated in the table by superscript letters.
Presentation of same data in tabular and graphical form is not desirable; in all such cases the graphical form is preferred.
5.6. Mathematical formulae:
These should be written carefully in the exact form in which
they are to be printed. Care should be taken to distinguish
between capital and small letters and subscripts and
superscripts. A zero should be used before decimals (0.231,
not .231). Fractional exponents should be used instead of
root sign.
5.7. Figures:
Illustrations must be submitted as electronic files at
appropriate clarity and resolution and the size intended for
publication. Colour images should be submitted in full
colour. For file format, indicate the details and submit line
artwork (vector graphics) as Encapsulated PostScript (EPS),
and halftones or photographic images as Tagged Image
File Format (TIFF). Minimum acceptable resolution at final,
published size is 300 dpi (dots per inch) for colour figures,
500 dpi for grayscale images, and 300+ dpi for line art.
These resolutions are for when the figure (excluding white
space on the edges) is sized to a column width of approx.
8.5 cm (3.3 inch) or in other words, the figure must be a
minimum of 1000 pixels wide. If the graphic is to be published
in a two-column format then the 300 dpi minimum should
apply to a figure width of approx. 18 cm (7 inch) or in other
words, the figure must be a minimum of 2100 pixels wide.
Normally, figures and micrographs are submitted and
published in black and white. Figures submitted in colour
will appear in colour when published online. However, if
colour print reproduction is desired, the author must indicate
this and commit to paying costs of printing in colour, which
are US $ 60 (` 4000) per figure with colour.
Each figure submitted must be clearly identified with a figure
number and caption. Captions of all figures should be
grouped in a single list after the Reference section of the
manuscript. The captions should be formatted doublespaced.
Figures with multiple parts/images (each part of
the figure should be distinguished with labels a, b, c, d, etc,
but with one caption) should be assembled into one piece
and be submitted as one file. All labelled parts require an
explanation in the caption.
Micrographs will usually be sized to approx. 8.5 cm (3.3 inch)
in width. Magnification indicators, e.g. ‘1000X’, must not be
used, because micrographs are typically reduced before
publication. The machine-generated information in the
micrographs should be legible for reproduction. If there is
other critical information in the machine-generated legend,
it should be added to the caption.
Line drawings should be drawn boldly to ensure clear reproduction.
The inside legends/writings and labels of all the
figures should be large enough, as also prominent, so that
they can be clearly readable when the figure is reduced to a
column width (approx. 8.5 cm). All the line diagrams should
have clear X-axis and Y-axis lines as also clear X-axis and
Y-axis titles with corresponding units (which should be
provided as per the style of the journal). All the line diagrams
should be presented as separate boxes; the X-axis and
Y-axis should be the two arms of the box. The X-axis and
Y-axis of all the line diagrams should contain ticks (i.e. mark
up of data points).
If a figure has been taken directly from another published
source, the author must obtain written permission to reprint
from the original publisher. This permission should be
forwarded to the Editorial Office when the article is being
submitted for publication, and the source of the figure should
be cited as a reference in the figure caption.
5.8. Graphical Abstract:
A graphical abstract for all categories of papers must be
included at the last page of the submitted manuscript,
following these instructions:
The graphic should be in the form of a structure, graph,
drawing, photograph, or scheme. Submit the graphical
abstract at the actual size to be used for publication so that
it will fit in an area no larger than 2 inches by 1.5 inches
(approx. 5 cm by 4 cm).
