Referees: Please
submit, with the manuscript, the names, addresses and e-mail addresses of
five potential referees. Note that the editors retain the sole right to
decide whether or not the suggested reviewers are used.
Preparation of manuscript: Authors
must follow guide for authors strictly, failing which the manuscripts would
be rejected without review. Editors reserve the right to adjust the style to
certain standards of uniformity.
Structure: Follow
this order when preparing the manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations,
Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and
Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgements, References, Figure Captions,
Tables and Figures. The corresponding author (one only) should be identified
with an asterisk and footnote.
Text Layout: Use
double spacing and wide (3 cm) margins on white paper. (Avoid full
justification, i.e., do not use a constant right-hand margin.) Ensure that
each new paragraph is clearly indicated. Each table and figure should be
placed on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. Number all the pages
consecutively, use 12-point Roman font throughout.
Page length:
Maximum page length can be 35 and 45 pages for original article and review
paper, respectively, including text, references, tables and figures. Each
figure and table must be put separately on a separate page.
Article structure
Subdivision - numbered sections :
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections
should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is
not included in section numbering).
Introduction:
Provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a
summary of the results on the topic. Most recent and relevant developments
on the topic must be brought out here. The last paragraph should state the
objective of the study.
Material and methods:
This section should provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be
reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference:
only relevant modifications should be described.
Results and Discussion: Results
should be clear and concise and be part of a single section, discussing the
significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. Extensive citation
and discussion of the published literature should be avoided.
Conclusions: The
main conclusions drawn from results should be presented in a short
Conclusions section (maximum 150 words).
Title page information
• Title should be concise and informative. It must not contain any
abbreviation.
• Author names and affiliations. Where the family name may be ambiguous
(e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors'
affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names.
Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately
after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the
full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name and, if
available, the e-mail address of each author.
• Corresponding author: Indicate one author who will handle correspondence
at all the stages of refereeing, publication and post-publication. Provide
the phone and fax numbers (with country and area code), e-mail address and
complete postal address.
• Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described
in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address'
(or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's
name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained
as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for
such footnotes.
Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is required. Each paper should
be provided with an abstract of about 100-150 words. The abstract should
state firstly the aim of the study and then give main results. Abstract
should not contain any reference.
Keywords
Immediately after the abstract provide a maximum of five
keywords.
Abbreviations
Define abbreviations in the text on first appearance. Avoid any non-standard
abbreviation or give them as a
separate section.
Units
Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international
system of units (SI). If other units are mentioned, please give their
equivalent in SI.
Math formulae
Present simple formulae in the line of normal text where possible and use
the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms,
e.g., X/Y. In principle, variables are to be presented in italics. Powers of
e are often more conveniently denoted by exp. Number consecutively any
equations that have to be displayed separately from the text (if referred to
explicitly in the text).
Footnotes
As far as possible, footnotes should be avoided. In the tables, indicate
each footnote with a superscript lowercase letter
Figures and captions
There can be a maximum of SIX
figures in the article, which must be numbered. All
photographs, schemas, graphs and diagrams to be referred to as figures.
Ensure that each figure has a caption. Captions should
be supplied separately on a page. Multiple figures can be expressed as
one figure (for e.g. 1a, 1b, 1c etc...).The Journal discourages publication
of simple one line graphs/figures, pattern figures, conventional spectra
(X-ray, FTIR, UV, NMR, etc) and SEM photographs of a routine nature.
Tables
There can be a maximum of SIX
tables in the article, which must be numbered. Heading should be
placed above the table .Do
not put vertical rules in the table. The Journal discourages publication of
simple one parameter tables; such information should be preferably described
in the text itself.
References
In the text the number of the reference should be given in
square brackets. Only essential references, which are directly referred to
in the text, should be included in the reference list.There
can be maximum 40 and 100 references for
the original and review articles, respectively
Citation
in text
Ensure that every reference cited in the text is present in
the reference list (and vice-versa).
Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the
reference list, but may be mentioned in the text.
Web references
As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference
was last accessed. Any further information, if known (DOI, author names,
dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given.
Reference style
Text: All
citations in the text should refer to:
1. Single author: the author's name (without initials) and the year
of publication;
2. Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication;
3. Three or more authors: first author's name, followed by 'et al.'
and the year of publication.
Citations may be made directly or parenthetically.
Examples: 'as demonstrated (Allan, 2000a, 2000b, 1999; Allan
and Jones, 1999). Kramer et al. (2010) have recently shown ....'
List: References should be arranged
first alphabetically and
numbered then numerically to show the total number of references in the
article. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year
must be identified by the letters 'a', 'b', 'c', etc., placed after the year
of publication.
