Authors are requested to follow some guidelines while sending their articles
Manuscripts submitted to this journal must not have been previously published and should not be concurrently under review for publication in any other journal. The primary article categories are outlined below, and for a comprehensive list of article types, please refer to our guidelines.
- Review:A review article is a comprehensive summary of existing research on a specific topic, providing readers with an overview of the current state of knowledge in that area. Review articles are valuable resources for researchers and students seeking a deeper understanding of a subject, as they condense extensive information into a digestible format. The structure can include an Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Relevant Sections, Discussion, Conclusions, and Future Directions.
- Article:These manuscripts represent original research characterized by scientifically rigorous experiments, offering a significant contribution of novel insights. They are expected to encompass the latest and pertinent references within their respective domains. The recommended structure comprises an Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions sections.
- Short Communication: Short communication articles are concise research papers typically limited to a few pages that quickly convey important scientific findings. They are an efficient way for researchers to share new data, experimental techniques, or novel insights without the extensive details found in full-length research papers.
Submission Process: Manuscripts must be submitted online through the submission portal.
We strongly recommend that authors use journal Microsoft Word template for manuscript preparation. This manuscript will save the time of publication processes. Please insert your Tables, figures, and graphics in the main text after the paragraph of its first citation.

- Short Communication: A short communication article is typically a brief research paper that presents concise and focused findings in a specific field of study. It is often used to report important research results or developments that do not require a full-length research paper.
Research manuscripts should comprise several essential components to effectively communicate the research findings and contribute to the body of knowledge in a given field. Here are the typical sections that a research manuscript should include:
Title: A concise and descriptive title that reflects the content of the research.
Author List: Full name of all authors must be provided.
Affiliations: Complete address information including Institute, city, zip code, state/province, and country. It is essential to appoint at least one author as the corresponding author.
Abstract: A brief summary of the research, including the research question or objective, methodology, key findings, and conclusions. It should be informative and concise, typically around 150-250 words.
Keywords: Add three to ten relevant keywords after the abstract. We suggest that these keywords are both tailored to the article’s content and widely recognized within the subject area.
Introduction: An introduction to the research problem, including a clear statement of the research question or hypothesis, a review of relevant literature, and the rationale for conducting the study.
Methods: Detailed information about the research methodology, including the research design, data collection methods, participants (if applicable), and data analysis techniques. This section should provide enough detail to allow other researchers to replicate the study.
Results: Presentation of the research findings using tables, figures, and text. This section should be objective and report the data accurately, without interpretation.
Figures and Tables: Please insert clearly labelled and well-organized figures and tables that complement the text and help illustrate key points in the main text after the paragraph of its first citation. Each figure and table should have a title and be referred to in the text.
Discussion: Interpretation of the results in the context of the research question and relevant literature. Authors should discuss the implications of their findings, limitations of the study, and potential areas for future research.
Conclusion: A concise summary of the key findings and their implications. The conclusion should tie back to the research question and provide a clear answer or resolution.
Acknowledgments: Optional section where authors can acknowledge individuals, institutions, or organizations that contributed to the research but do not meet the criteria for authorship.
Conflict of Interest: Disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could influence the research or its interpretation.
Funding: Provide information on the funding sources or grants that supported the research if any.
