4. Types of Articles

Research paper: papers (4000–8000 words) reporting unique research with an objective, questions, methods, results, discussions, and conclusions. Articles typically include a 250–300 word abstract, 4–5 keywords, up to 15 figures or tables, and 25-50 references. The suggested paper length is limited to 25-30 pages, including references.

Review paper: reviews that are in-depth (4000–8000 words) and build upon thorough citations to the material that has already been published. These articles aim to provide pertinent ideas, theoretical propositions, frameworks, and constraints related to the subject matter. Articles typically include a 250–300 word abstract, 4–5 keywords, up to 15 figures or tables, and 50-100 references. The suggested paper length is limited to 20-27 pages, including references.

Technical paper: Technical papers are original stories on specialised technical work that are meant to be read by professionals. There are no rules about how long a piece can be, but it should be sufficiently long to explain the work done clearly, without being so lengthy that it becomes difficult to understand. Articles typically include a 250–300-word abstract, 4–5 keywords, up to 10 figures or tables, and 25-50 references. The suggested paper length is limited to 15-25 pages, including references.

Short communications: Short papers (1000–2500 words) that feature an original study. The papers should be important to the study group in the journal and not just basic reports or small amounts of data. Articles typically include a 250–300-word abstract, 4–5 keywords, up to 10 figures or tables, and 20-30 references. The suggested paper length is limited to 10-20 pages, including references.

Editorials: Articles written by the Journal's Editors and Guest Editors.

5. Manuscript Preparation

5.1 File Format - Manuscript Template

Authors can submit their manuscript files in Word format (.doc or .docx). Use Times New Roman 12 pt with 1.2-1.5 line spacing throughout the manuscript. Limit to four subheading levels. Equations in the manuscript remain editable once the manuscript enters production.

Manuscripts must be organized in the following order: Research/Review/Editorial/Technical/Short communications article:

  • Title
  • Authors named and Affiliations
  • Abstract and 4–5 keywords
  • Main text including Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion (and Future Work), Tables, Figures
  • Conflict of Interest
  • Data Availability (Optional)
  • Authors’ Contributions (Optional)
  • Acknowledgements
  • Funding
  • References

5.2 Title

Titles should be concise and informative. Titles are to be in sentence case, meaning only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized.

5.3 Authors named and Affiliations

List all authors' full names together, separated by commas. Connect affiliations to each author's name using superscript numbers and present them as: working/studying role (student, Research Scholar, Assistant Prof, Associate Prof, Prof, Scientist), Department, Organization, City, pin code, and Country.

The Corresponding Author should be indicated with an asterisk, and their complete contact information, including email address, should be listed in a separate paragraph. This information will be published with the article if it is accepted. Requests for changes to the affiliation will not be accepted after the article has been published.

5.4 Abstract and Keywords

The abstract must clearly outline the research's context and objective, and it should include keywords specific to the Review and Research Article types. Describe how the study was conducted, including any model organisms used, without going into technical details. Summarize the main conclusions and their significance. Keep the text under 250–300 words.

5.5 Main Text

The main text or body of the paper consists of different sections, which include Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, Tables, and Figures. The main text must be in 12-point regular Times New Roman font with a minimum of 1.5 line spacing. Any abbreviations should be listed before the introduction section. Standard International Units should be used throughout the manuscript.

5.5.1 Introduction

This section should provide a brief overview of the research background.

5.5.2 Materials and Methods

This section should detail the study design, materials used, and include a clear description of all interventions and comparisons, as well as the analysis approach, including any relevant mathematical calculations. If the materials, methods, and designs are well-known, authors can cite articles where these are described in detail, but the submission must contain enough information to be understood independently. This section can be divided into multiple subsections.

5.5.3 Results, Discussion, Conclusion and Future Work

Authors should describe and explain the experiment results, relate them to Materials and Methods, and discuss their implications, especially regarding prior studies and future research. The final subsection can summarize the work, including future scope, in a "Conclusion" or “Conclusion and Future Work” section.

5.5.4 Tables, Figures

All figures should be in clear, high-quality RGB color mode. Image resolution should be higher than 250 dpi. When preparing the manuscript in Microsoft Word, use the table function to create tables. Authors should insert Figures and Tables into the manuscript's main text, calling out all in numerical order. Include captions under figures and above tables. Obtain permission for reused published materials. Number figures as Figure 1, Figure 2, and tables as Table 1, Table 2.

5.5.5 Conflict of Interest

This section, mandatory in all articles, must be inserted before the reference section. It should state whether each author has conflicts of interest. If none, the author can say “All authors declare no conflicts of interest in this paper.”

5.5.6 Data Availability (Optional)

A clear statement of data availability is required after acceptance; it is optional for authors. If data are uploaded via a direct link, this should be provided. Otherwise, authors should state: “The original data are available from corresponding authors upon reasonable request.”

5.5.7 Authors’ Contributions (Optional)

This optional section for authors provides credit for articles with multiple authors and specifies individual contributions in the "Authors’ Contributions" section.

5.5.8 Acknowledgements

This section is designed to acknowledge administrative and technical support, as well as in-kind contributions, such as materials or equipment provided for the research. If there are no acknowledgments, please write “Not applicable”.

5.5.9 Funding
