Text:

Abstracts along with other unpublished data must be included in the text and not appear as part of reference section. However, its detail may be provided in footnotes.
Complete references, ensuring their accuracy, must be provided.
We encourage you to use a recent version of EndNote (version 5 and above) or Reference Manager (version 10) when formatting their reference list, as this allows references to be automatically extracted.
If you are including more than six authors, then et al. will be used after three names (the term “et al.” should be in italics).
Be careful with the punctuation and grammar errors. Make sure you proof read what you send.
Follow the Index Medicus/MEDLINE for Journal abbreviations.
For online citation, don’t forget to give the date of access.

Illustrations:

Anything apart from text i.e. tables, graphs, pictures etc should be referred to as Figure(s) and ought to be numbered in order of reference. Hence the illustration has to be included separately rather than with the text.
Make sure that anything on the illustration is readable even when it is reduced to a width of 75mm (Single column figure) or 160mm (double column figure)
The illustrations should be provided in camera-ready form, so that they may be reduced or reproduced without re-touching.
In case you are including photographs, the original has to be submitted since its photocopies are not acceptable. The photograph must have a scale on it so that they can easily be reproduced in black and white or coloured form. Of course the cost would increase in case of coloured photographs.
The figure has to be clear especially if it’s a graph. Hence it is advised to avoid shading and use black ink. Also make sure you print on a clear white page.
The figures must have a caption that is to be provided on a separate sheet. The illustration should be have the author’s name on its back and is supposed to be clearly marked.

Proofs

The proofs will be sent to the author and has to be sent back within 48 hours after reviewing. The author is supposed to enlist their queries if any, which would be answered in detail. The authors should make sure that they check the final form before its return because late correction may not get included. The corrections should be solely of typesetting errors hence other changes would be at the responsibility of the author.
