Keywords

Keywords should be incorporated between the Abstract and the Introduction.

Introduction

The introductory part should give appropriate background, clearly state the objectives of the work, and explain briefly what is new in the paper.

Materials and Methods

Experimental procedures of new methods should be described in detail. In the case of well-established methods, references only are sufficient. Substantial modifications of standard methods should be described in detail. Instruments, equipment, apparatus, and pure chemicals/bio-chemicals used should be identified by giving the manufacturer's name in parenthesis.

Results and Discussion

The results should be presented as consciously as possible. Tables and figures should not be used for the presentation of same data. This section should be used for the interpretation of data. Data given in the results should not be repeated. The observation may be compared with other relevant studies. Conclusions should not be drawn without supporting data. New hypothesis if any, may be stated. Recommendations, when appropriate, may be included

Units

An International System of units (SI) should only be used.

Acknowledgments

Tables

All tables are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.

Tables should always be cited in the text in consecutive numerical order.

Figure numbering

All figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.

Figures should always be cited in the text in consecutive numerical order.
