Submissions

Research Article

Pages should be numbered consecutively; the text should be arranged in the following order: Title page, Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods or Experimental work, Results, Discussion or Results and Discussion, Acknowledgements, References Figure and Tables should be appropriately included in the text.

Short Communication
The journal publishes exciting findings, preliminary data or studies that did not yield enough information to make a full paper as short communications. These have the same format requirements as full papers but are only up to 10 pages in length in total. Short Communications should not have subtitles such as Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion- all these have to be merged into the running text. Short Communications preferably should have only 3-4 illustrations.

 Review Article
Should be about 15-30 pages long, contain up-to-date information, comprehensively cover relevant literature and preferably be written by scientists who have in-depth knowledge on the topic. All format requirements are same as those applicable to full papers. Review articles need not be divided into sections such as materials and Methods and Results and Discussion, but should definitely have an Abstract and Introduction, if necessary.

References: The references should be listed on a separate sheet and should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are cited in the text. Cite in the text by the appropriate Arabic number e.g. 1, 2, 3 and the numbers should be superscripted.

ABSTRACT

The second page should carry an abstract of not more than 250 words. The abstract should state the purpose of the study or investigation, basic procedures, (study subjects or experimental animals, observational and analytic methods), main findings (give specific data and their statistical significance, if possible), and the principal conclusions. Emphasize new and important aspects of the study or observations. Use only approved abbreviations.

Keywords

At the bottom of the abstract, supply a few keywords, preferably using terms included in Medical Subject Headings of Index Medicus and MEDLINE. All the keywords must be separated by comma. 

EXPEIMENT WORK

Describe your selection of the observational or experimental subject (Patient or experimental animals including controls) clearly. Identify the methods, apparatus (manufacturer. name and address in parenthesis and procedures in sufficient detail to allow other workers to repeat the experiment. If the procedures involve an assay, include data on its accuracy, e.g. specificity, sensitivity and recovery. Give references to established methods, including statistical methods. Provide references and brief descriptions for methods that have been published but are not well known. Describe new or substantially modified methods, give reasons for using them and evaluate their limitations.

When reporting experiments on human subjects, indicate whether the procedure followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the committee on human experimentation of the institution in which the experiments were done. When reporting experiments on animals, indicate whether the institution’s or Indian National Science Academy’s guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals were followed. Identify precisely all drugs and chemicals used, including generic name(s), dosage(s) and route (s) of administration. Include number of observations and the statistical significance of the finding when appropriate. Detailed statistical analyses, mathematical derivations, and the like may sometimes be suitably presented in the form of one or more appendices.

RESULTS

Present your results in logical sequence in the text, tables, and illustrations. Do not repeat in the text all the data in the tables, illustrations, or both.

DISCUSSION

Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study and conclusions that follow from them, do not repeat in detail data given in the results section. Include in the discussion implications of the findings and their limitations and relate the observations to other relevant studies.

CONCLUSION

Link the conclusion with the goals of the study but avoid unqualified statements and conclusions not completely supported by your data. Avoid claiming priority and alluding to work that has not been completed.

FIGURES AND OTHER ILLUSTRATIONS

Upon submission of an article, authors are supposed to include all figures and tables in the MS word file of the manuscript. Figures and tables should not be submitted in separate files. If the article is accepted, authors will be asked to provide the source files of the figures. Each figure should be supplied in a separate electronic file. All figures should be cited in the paper in a consecutive order. Figures should be supplied in either vector art formats (Illustrator, EPS, WMF, FreeHand, CorelDraw, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.) or bitmap formats (Photoshop, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, etc.). Bitmap images should be of 300 dpi resolution at least unless the resolution is intentionally set to a lower level for scientific reasons.

 TABLES

Tables should be cited consecutively in the text. Every table must have a descriptive title and if numerical measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading. Vertical rules should not be used.
