The Executive Editor first evaluates all manuscripts on technical aspects such as compliance to the Guide For Authors, quality of grammar or English language. Revision can be requested. Manuscripts accepted at this stage are passed to the handling editor who can also reject on the basis of insufficient originality, serious scientific flaws, or because the work is considered outside the aims and scope of the journal. Those that meet the minimum criteria are passed on to experts for review. Referees advise the editor, who is responsible for the final decision to accept or reject the article. Please note: Any Editor's Decision is final.
PREPARATION
Manuscript Preparation
General:
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 typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction,
Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgements, References, Figure Captions, Tables and Figures. The corresponding author should be identified with an asterisk and footnote. All other footnotes (except for table footnotes) should be avoided. Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article and do not include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise.
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. Present tables and figure legends on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. If possible, consult a recent issue of the journal to become familiar with layout and conventions. Number all pages consecutively, use 12 pt font size and standard fonts.
Page length: Maximum page length should be 15, 35 and 40 pages for Short Communication, Original article/case study and review paper, including text, references, tables and figures. Each figure and table must be put separately on a single page.
Use of wordprocessing software
It is important that the file be saved in the native format of the wordprocessor used. The text should be in single-column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible. Most formatting codes will be removed and replaced on processing the article. In particular, do not use the wordprocessor's
