  1. ORIGINAL RESEARCH PAPER

These should describe original, novel and carefully confirmed findings, and experimental procedures should be given in sufficient detail for others to verify the work. The length of a full paper should be the minimum required to describe and interpret the work clearly.

  1. SHORT RESEARCH COMMUNICATION

A short research communication should present a concise study, or timely and novel research findings that might be less substantial than a research paper. The manuscript length is limited to 2,500 words (excluding references and abstract). It should have a set of keywords and an abstract (under 200 words, unreferenced), containing background of the work, the results and their implications. Results and Discussion section should be combined and followed by conclusion. Materials and Methods will remain as a separate section. The number of references is limited to 40 and there should be not more than 4 figures and/or table combined.

  1. TECHNICAL NOTE

Brief description of new or modification of existing technique which mark major advances and are of practical value.

  1. REVIEWS

Brief or mini-reviews should be authoritative and of broad interest. Submission of mini-reviews and perspectives covering topics of current interest are welcome and encourage. Mini-reviews should be concise and no longer than 4-6 printed pages.

  1. LETTERS TO EDITORS

This is to discuss controversial and/or inter disciplinary topics, viewpoints and commentaries, brief description of novel finding that might not be suitable for a regular research paper or short research communication, and any other issues that might be of interest to our readers. It is limited to a maximum of 800 words (two print pages maximum). Letter can have one figure/table and maximum of 10 references.

TITLE

This should be specific and precise. It should not be more than 2 to 3 lines long, and should describe the contents of the author’s full name and affiliations, then name of the corresponding author along with phone number, fax and Email information. Present addresses of authors should appear as footnote.

ABSTRACT

The abstract should be self-contained and citation free and should not exceed 150 words.

INTRODUCTION

This section should be succinct, with no subheadings. It should provide a clear statement of the problem, the relevant literature on the subject, and the proposed approach or solution. It should be understandable to colleagues from a broad range of scientific disciplines.

MATERIALS AND METHOD

Scientific details must be provided to allow for replication of results. Appropriate chemical names should be given and strains of organisms should be specified. Suppliers of materials need only be mentioned if this may affect the results. Use System International (SI) units and symbols. However, only truly new procedures should be described in detail; previously published procedures should be cited, and important modifications of published procedures should be mentioned briefly.

RESULT

This section should describe concisely the rationale of the investigation and its outcomes. Data should not be repeated in both a table and a figure. Tables and figures should be selected to illustrate specific points. Do not tabulate or illustrate points that can be adequately and concisely described in the next. Result should be explained, but largely without referring to the literature.

TABLES AND FIGURES

Tables and figures should be numbered (1,2,3 etc) as they appear in the text. Figures should preferably be the size intended for publication and should not exceed 9-12cm. Tables, figures and photographs should be carefully marked on the reverse side with the number, first author’s name and orientation (top). Legends should be typed double-spaced separately from figures. Photographs must be originals of high quality. Photocopies are not accepted.

DISCUSSION

This should not simply recapitulate the results. It should relate to previous work and interpret them. Combined results and discussion sections are encouraged when appropriate.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

This optional part should include a statement thanking those who assisted substantially with work relevant to the study. Grant support is included in this section.
