Guidelines for Online Paper Submission

1. Accurate Information:

• Ensure that all details provided in the submission form are accurate, as certificates and publication records will be prepared based on this information. Mistakes in spelling or formatting may cause delays or inaccuracies in official records.

2. Formatting Requirements:

• Abstract: Must be written in sentence case (capitalize only the first word and proper nouns).

• Email Address: Must be given in lower case.

• All other fields: Use title case (capitalize the first letter of each word).

• हिंदी के लेखकों से अनुरोध है कि वे अपना शोधपत्र केवल Unicode या Krutidev 10 फ़ॉन्ट में ही प्रस्तुत करें।

3. Submission Files:

• Manuscripts must be submitted in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx). (1500 to 4000 Words)

• All figures and tables should be embedded within the manuscript, with captions provided just below each figure or table.

• Be sure to use the journal’s submission template for formatting to avoid any inconsistencies.

4. Language and Proofreading:

• Make sure the manuscript is written in clear, grammatical English. If English is not your first language, consider using a native speaker or professional editing service.

• Double-check for consistent spelling (American or British), and make sure technical terms and abbreviations are used consistently throughout the manuscript.

5. Plagiarism and Ethical Compliance:

• All submitted manuscripts will be checked for plagiarism, and papers with a high similarity percentage (above 15%) may be rejected.

• Authors must adhere to ethical standards regarding citation and referencing, ensuring all data is taken from the proper source.

6. Figures, tables and supplementary material:

• Figures: All figures should be high resolution (300 dpi or higher) and appropriately labeled. They should be referenced in the text and numbered sequentially.

• Tables: Should be created using the table function in your word processing software, not as images. Make sure each table is titled and numbered, and referenced in order in the text.

• Supplementary material: If your manuscript includes supplementary data, make sure there are clear instructions on how reviewers can access and view these files.

7. Keywords and abstract:

• The abstract should be no more than 200-300 words and should clearly summarize the main points of your research.

• Provide 3-6 keywords that best represent the main themes of the paper. These keywords should be listed in lowercase.

8. Peer Review Process:

• Submissions typically undergo a double-blind peer review, which means the identities of both authors and reviewers are anonymous. Make sure your manuscript does not include any identifying information to maintain anonymity.

9. Authorship and Conflicts of Interest:

• List all authors with their full names, institutional affiliations, and email addresses. The sequence of authors should be agreed upon by all contributors and remain unchanged after submission.

• Disclose any potential conflicts of interest or funding sources to ensure transparency in the research process.

10. Submission Process:

• Submissions must be made through the journal’s designated online submission system. The corresponding author is responsible for handling submissions, addressing revisions, and overseeing the final approval process.

These guidelines are intended to streamline the submission and review process, ensuring your manuscript is processed efficiently and correctly. Please be sure to follow each point closely for a seamless submission experience.
