Instructions to Author- Preparation of Menuscript

Manuscripts should be submitted as per order: Title Page, name of author (s), Abstract, Key words, Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements (if necessary) and References. If the Result and Discussion sections are combined, then a Conclusion section should be added.

• Title Page: The first page should contain a concise and informative title, the names and addresses of the authors and contact details of the corresponding author (postal address, e-mail, and fax and telephone numbers).
• Abstract: It should be about 200-400 words. Key words: A maximum of 5 key words must be given at the end of the Abstract.
• Introduction: This part should define the background and significance of the study by considering the relevant literature, particularly the most recent publications.
• Material and Methods: Please provide concise but complete information about the material and the analytical, statistical and experimental procedures used. This part should be as clear as possible to enable other scientists to repeat the research presented.
• Results: In this part, the same data/ information given in a table must not be repeated in a figure, or vice versa. It is not acceptable to repeat extensively the numerals from tables into text and give lengthy and unnecessary explanations of the Tables and Figures.
• Discussion: This part must be written with reference to the tables and figures and by considering information from the literature. Statements made in the Introduction and Results sections should not be repeated here.
• Acknowledgements: If necessary, a brief Acknowledgements section may be included.

References

References should be cited in the text in Arabic numerals in superscript. The references should be cited at the end of the manuscript in the order of their appearance in the text. For citation of references with three or more authors, only the first author’s name followed by et al. should be used.

Figures

Photos or drawings must have a good contrast of dark and light. Legends of figures should be brief, but complete and self-explanatory so that the reader can easily understand the results presented in the figure. Figure legends should be attached to the figures. All figure number should be arranged orderly; the figures should not be supplied separately but pasted in the proper place. Figure number and title should be given below the figure. The content of the figure should be explained in the title of figure.

Tables

All tables should be numbered in order with grid lines. The table number should be properly given, large size tables should be split into two or more tables so that it can be accommodated within the page size. Table width and cell sizing should be even and all the content should be left side aligned. Number of the tables and title should be given above the tables and without any border, shading. Do not give on separate page. The table should with a brief but complete and self- explanatory caption so that the reader can easily understand the results presented in the table. Please do not duplicate material that is already presented in the figures.

General Guidelines for units and symbols -

The use of the international System of Units (SI) is recommended.

Physical Quantity	Base Unit	SI Symbol
Length	meter	m
Mass	gram	g
	kilogram	kg
	microgram	µg
Time	second	s
	minute	min
	hour	h
	day	d
	week	w
	month	mo
	year	y
Amount of substance	mole	mol
Area	square meter	m2
Volume	cubic meter	m3
	litre	l
	millilitre	ml
	microlitre	µl

Specification	Example	Correct style
Use lowercase for symbols or abbreviations,	kilogram	kg
Symbols are not followed by a period, exception end of sentence	meter	m
Do not pluralize symbols	kilograms	kg
When numbers are printed symbols are preferred	100 meters	100 m
Space between number and symbol	2mol	2 mol
	10mg	10 mg
Place a zero before a decimal	0.01
Decimal numbers are preferable to fractions	0.75
Spaces used to separate long numbers	1 500 000
Exception four-digit number	1000

Chemical terminology

The chemical nomenclature used must be in accordance with that used in the Chemical Abstracts.

Symbols and abbreviations

Unless specified otherwise, all temperatures are understood to be in degrees centigrade and need not be followed by the letter ‘C’. Abbreviations should be those well known in scientific literature. In vitro, in vivo, in situ, ex vivo, ad libitum, et al. and so on are two words each and should be written in italics. None of the above is a hyphenated word. All foreign language (other than English) names and words shall be in italics as a general rule. Words such as carrageenan-induced inflammation, paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity, isoproterenol-induced myocardial necrosis, dose-dependent manner are all hyphenated.

Biological nomenclature

Names of plants, animals and bacteria should be in italics

Enzyme nomenclature

The trivial names recommended by the IUPAC-IUB Commission should be used. When the enzyme is the main subject of a paper, its code number and systematic name should be stated at its first citation in the paper.

Spelling

These should be as in the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English
