Materials and Methods

Materials and methods do not refer to common place statistical test. It must be enough to allow experiments to be reproduced. If any previous published research work can also be cited and notification should be mentioning clearly. Subheadings should be used.

Results

Results of research articles or manuscripts should be present with clarity and precise. Previous publisher’s findings should be written in present tense. Results should be explained. Discussion, interpretation should be included in the results but should be put into the discussion section.

Discussion

Discussion part of the research paper includes the sub heading, significance of the results related to research work.

Acknowledgments

This section should be thanks to people, granting body, university departments, college departments should be in a brief manner.

Tables

Tables and chart in the research paper should be kept minimum and simple. It should be double line space including the heading and foot note. Table should be presented in separate page, it should be numbered. Table must be preparing in MS Word.

Figure legends

Figures in the paper brought in a numerical order on a separate sheet. Graphics should be preparing with resolution GIF, JPEG, TIFF and power point are pasting in MS word file. Use Arabic numerical for figures and upper case letter for their parts.

Short Communications

Short Communications are limited to a maximum of two figures and one table. They should present a complete study that is more limited in scope than is found in full-length papers. The items of manuscript preparation listed above apply to Short Communications with the following differences:

(1) Abstracts are limited to 100 words
(2) Instead of a separate Materials and Methods section, experimental procedures may be
incorporated into Figure Legends and Table footnotes
(3) Results and Discussion should be combined into a single section.

Proofs and Reprints

Electronic proofs will be sent (e-mail attachment) to the corresponding author as a PDF file. Page proofs are considered to be the final version of the manuscript.
