Name of the corresponding author should be highlighted with an asterisk. This is the author with whom all future correspondences will be made.

The affiliation and complete official addresses (including the e-mail) of all the authors should be mentioned against their names in full. This information is absolutely essential.

All such information will be left aligned only.

Special words and quotes should appear in single quotation marks. Quote within a quote should be placed in double quotation marks.

Lines should have 1.5 line spacing (with one additional line space separating two different paragraphs).

Tables

Tables must be inserted in the same files as the text and at the place where their mention is made in the text. The table numbers should be mentioned correctly in the text and the tables should appear in the vicinity of their mention:

All tables are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.

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

For each table, please supply a table caption (title) explaining the components of the table.

Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the table caption.

Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data) and included beneath the table body.

All tables should have caption. The format to be followed is table (number): title of the Table.

Also, all tables should have a mention of the source they have been taken from (if the case may be). The source should be mentioned below the table and details for the same must be provided in references. A list of tables including their headings must be given separately in a page for reference.

Scientific style

Please always use internationally accepted signs and symbols for units, SI units.

Scientific style

Genus and species names should be in italics.

Figures/Artwork/ Illustrations / Plates Guidelines

All figures should have captions. The format to be followed is Figure (number): title of the figure. Also, all figures should have a mention of the source they have been taken from (if the case may be). The source should be mentioned below the figure and details for the same must be provided in references. A list of figures including their headings must be given separately in a page for reference.

For the best quality final product, it is highly recommended that you submit all of your artwork - photographs, line drawings, etc. - in an electronic format either in jpg of tif files. Your art will then be produced to the highest standards with the greatest accuracy to detail.

Color Art

Color art is free of charge for online publication.

If black and white will be shown in the print version, make sure that the main information will still be visible. Many colors are not distinguishable from one another when converted to black and white.
A simple way to check this is to make a xerographic copy to see if the necessary distinctions between the different colors are still apparent.

If the figures will be printed in black and white, do not refer to color in the captions.

Figure Numbering

All figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.

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

Figure parts should be denoted by lowercase letters (a, b, c, etc.).

If an appendix appears in your article and it contains one or more figures, continue the consecutive numbering of the main text.

Figure Captions

Each figure should have a concise caption describing accurately what the figure depicts. Include the captions in the text file of the manuscript, not in the figure file.

Figure captions begin with the term Fig. in bold type, followed by the figure number, also in bold type.

No punctuation is to be included after the number, nor is any punctuation to be placed at the end of the caption.

Identify all elements found in the figure in the figure caption; and use boxes, circles, etc., as coordinate points in graphs.

Permissions for Earlier Published Figures

If you include figures that have already been published elsewhere, you must obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format. Please be aware that some
publishers do not grant electronic rights for free and we will not be able to refund any costs that
may have occurred to receive these permissions. In such cases, material from other sources should be used.

Photographs and illustrations: Image files should be optimized to the minimum possible size
without compromising on the quality. The photos and illustrations should have a resolution of 300 dpi (minimum).

Colour figures should be used when details cannot be adequately observed on black and white photographs

Authors pay the full cost for the reproduction of their colour artwork in the print issue

Figures that are black-and-white in the print issue but colour in the online version are free of charge

Abbreviations should be expanded the first time they appear in the text and the abbreviation
should be placed first followed by the full form in brackets. The full out should be given only the first time they appear in the text.

Equations: Each equation should appear in a new line in the text. The equations referred to in the text should be numbered sequentially with their identifier enclosed in parenthesis, right justified.

The symbols in these equations, where referred to in the text, should be enclosed in single quotation marks.

E = mc2 ?.. (1)

References:

The papers in the references list must be cited in the text. The citation should be mentioned as Surname of author followed by the year in brackets. For example, (Abhinav, 1969) or (Abhinav and Vaibhav, 1987). In case a sentence starts with a citation, only the year would be in brackets; for example

Abhinav (1989) states that? The reference details mentioned at the end should be in alphabetical order. Et al will be used only in case there are more than two authors. In such cases, mention
the names of the first three authors followed by et al. in the text. However, the reference details will carry the names of the first author with et al. For example: Abhinav et al. (1978)

Reference list

The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be
mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list.

Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work.

Some samples for reference details including those for books, book chapters, journals, online,
conferences, magazines, etc. are given below.
