| Abstract |
| |
| Abstract is a summary of your work. This make any reader to decide if to read the whole paper or not. Thus pay much attentionin drafting the abstract. This section can be on the same title page. For research paper, abstract should detail the background, existing problems, your novelty of the study, experimental approach, major findings and conclusion. Begin your abstract with some background, purpose of your study, historical or early studies and the context and the existing problems. Use past tense when you write about early studies and back ground. Give about what is already known and what not known about the field related to your study and your research question. Then you need to provide novelty of your study and how you are going to address that problem. This is then followed by what methods, analytical techniques, participants and other relevant information's in brief. Try also to give critical information about the method such as sample size, medication doses, study duration etc. which may attract the reader to get in to your full paper. Further you can give 3-4 sentences about the result. Summarize the result and give the outcome of your result. It may be the biggest part of your abstract. Use present tense when you write about your methods and results. Later provide some few sentences about your discussion of those result and conclusive sentences. Avoid the abbreviation, diagram and reference in the abstract. It should be single - spaced and should not exceed 350 word. |
| |
| Keywords |
| |
| Key words are the essence of your whole paper. It helps your paper to get searched faster and increases more citations. So include most relevant keywords. 4-6 keywords that are highly specific to your study. You may also add 2-3 more words that are broadly related to your study. |
| |
| Introduction |
| |
| The manuscript should include a brief background of your study, existing problems, early studies which have reported solutions to that problems, your novelty in the study to address those problems, stating the purpose of the investigation. Only information essential to the arguments should be presented. You need to mention aim and objective of the study at the last part of introduction. Introduction should have, why you have selected the topic , what importance does it have in research , reason for using a particular research methods , how your research will fill the gap or lacunae that other early research failed to do so. Start your introduction broadly and slowly narrow down to your aim and objective. Initial part of the introduction should concentrate on background of your research, early and current study done and try to set the context for your study. Give appropriate reference or cite reference for those early done studies. Do not give much background (Since you are not writing a review paper), that may be more than sufficient and also can distract the reader. After providing sufficient background, you can narrow to the specific area within that broad back ground and slowly narrow to your research question and discuss the early studies lacunae. Problems should be included in clear sentences. Include some sentences about importance and seriousness of your research question or problems. The introduction should end with aim and objective of your study or your research question or your hypothesis. Your aim and objective is critical. So pay much attention for this aim and objective. Introduction should not be more than 1000 words. Simple present tense should be preferably followed in this section but for discussing early studies for the back ground you can use past tense. |
| |
| Materials and Methods |
| |
This section must contain specific details about the materials studied, instruments used, specialized chemicals source under “Materials” subheading. Complete details with experiment conditions and related experimental details needed to be well drafted under “Methods” subheading which allows other research workers to reproduce the methods seamlessly. The design and protocol of the study should be well explained. Every method need to be explained in detail and no briefing of the methods is appreciated. Kindly use past tense in your method section, since you are elaborating the experiments which you have done already. This method section should also explain how the measurements, observations, calculation are made. Each methods need to have citing references (Trival methods and well known methods need not to have references but it is preferable that all methods to have citing reference). Each methods need to be in appropriate sequence and of same as your result section. Place subheading of the methods concerning general information initially and then place sections of detailed experiments (For eg: population characteristics , sources , bacterial strains genotypes, powder physical characteristics etc can be the initial subheadings , which were then followed by subheadings relevant to other critical study such as histopathology studies , XRD , DSC studies etc). Study period, location, type of study need to be mentioned in the methods. Subjects used in the study should be described in detail (for eg: In Use of patients – their age , sex and other datas relevant to the study etc) Ensure to cite references for each methods you had. The methods should be clear and much detail need to be given, so as to ensure reproducing the same. Each and every parameters, conditions etc should be mentioned (Eg: column type , temperature , flow rate, flow condition , column model etc for HPLC analysis). Do not discuss or list the advantages or disadvantages of the methods as this would distract the readers from the main theme of your study. Excess or unrelated information should be avoided. Ensure that for each study, controls need to be present for comparison with the test. Obtain permission for all fully borrowed, adapted, and modified tables and provide a credit line in the footnote. If any animal study was carried out, then the necessary institutional animal ethical committee approval should be taken and should be mentioned in the manuscript (preferably with Approval number). Animal care need to be maintained as per any international protocol (Eg: Helsinki declaration of animal care for biomedical research etc) and appropriate sentences and citing of suitable reference need to be made. If any human study was carried out, then necessary human ethical committee or appropriate approval should be taken and should be mentioned in the manuscript. Institutional approval permission need to be taken and mentioned in the manuscript. A written consent should be taken from the human subjects or patients involved in the study, ensuring their acceptance in the study and publication of relevant datas/photos/images in the journal and should be mentioned in the manuscript. The journal will not be responsible if any of the above if not followed and the editor’s decision would be final if any litigations arises during processing or after publishing.
If the manuscript has any terminologies relevant to ayurvedic, unani, siddha, homeopathy and similar fields, please visit M http://namstp.ayush.gov.in/ or relevant Ayush web site for globalized terminologies. |

| Statistical Analysis |
| |
| Provide a paragraph under “statistical Analysis” before Result section. Include the statistical test used (such as ANOVA , Dennett’s test , chi square test etc. Mention the software (version) used for analysis. Use upper italics (P < 0.05) below the table where you have tabulated the data’s .The statistical method used to analyses data has to be also mentioned in the abstract. Sample size (n value) , p value (eg: p<0.05) need to be mentioned below the data table. The statistical analysis method used to analyses the data should also be mentioned in the abstract. |
| |
| Results and Discussion |
| |
| |
| (1) Results: |
| |
| They are the findings of your methods and sequenced logically and importance but not interpreted (as interpretation is done in discussion). It needs to have observed data’s in paragraph under suitable subheadings. Relevant tables , figures , charts , images etc can be used to present the observed results. It should be in order or in similar sequence as that of your method section. Any observations that are not related to main aim and objective or the scope of the study or irrelevant to the study need to be excluded from the results to avoid distraction of readers or reviewers. Use relevant subheadings to represent similar or related observations. Do not rewrite all the same data’s presented in the table again in a paragraph which is a duplication of data’s. Rather better to summarize the table data’s or mention some significant data’s in the paragraph that you would draft below the respective table. You should not include any citing of references in the result section (Since you are giving your results , not of others ). |
| |
| (i) Tables: |
| |
They convey complex and large amount of datas in a simple way. So, make it to communicate those datas clearly. It should be attractive to readers, such that it should persuade to take much time in understanding the datas rather than confusing. Make it a professional look which gives a better impression for your paper. Tables should be used wherever necessary and should have rows and columns to correlate the variables. It should be cell- based type (Microsoft word tables or Excel tables). Create tables using Microsoft word table format for having defined columns and rows. Do not use tabs or space bars or lines during preparation of tables. Do not send us tables as graphics or images or pictures. Avoid using empty columns or rows unless it is needed. Tables should be as compact as possible. Unnecessary rows and columns can be avoided. The table should be double spaced and separated from the text. The font can be of same size used in the text of the manuscript. Do not divide the table in to sub tables and not to use vertical or horizontal rules/lines. Table should be numbered accordingly in numeric order. The table should be numbered in roman numeral followed by the title. Explain the abbreviation, letters or symbols used in the table in the footnotes of the table. You can highlight any datas of significant importance to get the reader’s attention but mention that in foot notes.
The title or caption of the table should be one-line title in bold text with font size 12. Abbreviations can be used if needed and abbreviations that are used only in a table should be defined in the footnotes to that table and should be designated with superscript/subscript letters. The units used should be in SI nomenclature or the nomenclature common to a particular field. Unusual units or abbreviations can be defined in the legend. For research paper, datas inside the table (table that has control and test datas ) need to have + SD values for tables concerning with experiments, trials , study groups etc. Ensure that you need to have statistical values such as p and n values beow the table . A small paragraph need to be given below each table, explaining the contents inside the table. Avoid inserting the table in the middle of the sentence. Also ensure that your table need to have concise title / caption or legend, categorically divided datas for clear understanding and clarity , enough spaces between columns and rows , mentioning of appropriate units , legible fonts and its size , |
| |
| (ii) Figures: |
| |
Figures should be used wherever necessary and should be near to the place were they are mentioned inside the result section. The figures can be of GIF/TIFF/JPEG/PDF. The figures should be comprehensible for the readers and should help them in understanding the paper. Consider labeling important parts inside the figure (for easy understanding).Unnecessary figures should be avoided. Avoid unnecessary colouring and excessive details. The title should be one-line title. Abbreviations can be used if needed and abbreviations that are used only in the figures should be defined in the footnotes to that figure. Mention or foot note the meaning of different colors or symbols used. The title should describe the contents, so each illustration can be understood on considering apart from the text. All figures should be numbered in roman numerals and should be cited in the text accordingly. The image/photograph should be cropped to show essential details. Magnification can be indicated by inserting the scale bar. The image/photograph should be clear and of high quality. Poor blurred or out of focus letters/symbols are not acceptable. The units used should be SI nomenclature or the nomenclature common to a particular field. Unusual units or abbreviations can be defined in the legend. The text or numeric content inside the figures need to be clear and legible . For graphs , mention or label both x and y axis , mention the units (appropriately), provide appropriate legends .For Map , mention latitude and longitude , scale bars , labeling of important items , map legends etc.
Avoid any manipulation of images or figures towards improving or proving your result. You can process your figures to certain extent for clarity or brightness or contrast improvement. Datas or information in the figure should not to be corrected in view of supporting your findings .It should faithfully support your original one. |
| |
| (2) Discussions: |
| |
|
Discussion is what does your results says or means. You need to relate your discussion to your aim and objective. The discussion part should be done by discussing your obtained results. It is encouraged and appreciated that most of the result on discussing need to be supported by early studies (Citing of suitable references).Make sure that you cite atleast not less than 15 references in the discussion. You can get help from google scholar or pubmed to get relevant references to cite for the discussion of your results. Make sure that you interpret and discuss most of your result, such that you make use of your most results. Discussion part of already published papers in top rated journal specific for your work will give you an idea of how to draft a good discussion for your paper. Thus your result need to have major interpretations or finding of your study and their meaning behind, their relation to early studies citing with suitable references , unexpected findings or results you’ve got or any unexplained results (if any), any limitations of your study and future scope of your study. Kindly note that your discussion should not have any results which you have not performed (you need to discuss what you have done and its results) and avoid any baseless , unfounded, unwarranted and unreasonable speculations. Thus your discussion need to have the following,
- Major findings of your study
- Interpretations and meaning of those findings and its importance.
- Cite suitable reference of similar studies to your findings, to support your study and interpretations and relate your study to those similar studies.
- Alternate explanations for your study (If any). Try to consider all possible explanation for your results rather than giving only those that bias your objective of your study.
- State clinical relevance or medical usage of your study (Preferebly)
- At the end, mention the limitations of your study and future scope of your study.
- Do not over interpret the results .(Please refer any top journal published paper of similar study and their interpretation style and depth of their discussion)
- Avoid inflation or more boasting of your results which will disgust the reviewers and users of your paper.
- Avoid any unnecessary discussion that may change the direction of your aim and objective . Stay focused.
- Avoid critizing any other study, but professionally you can contrast your discussion from their findings. Try avoiding attacking those studies and do not preach or advice the readers .

Medical case report, is a complete report about prognosis and diagnosis , symptoms , medical signs , physical , biochemical and anatomical examinations , discussion etc. Mostly, case reports is of single patients and so no institutional review board(IRB) or Institutional ethical committee approval is needed. But if the case report deals with more than one patient, IRB would be required. If you are a medical student, get the help of clinician since student might not have sufficient expertise. Get the written patient consent for this study and publication and mention the same in the case reports.
The case report should have any of the following,
- Adverse reactions or side effect that were not reported.
- Diseases that were not usual or not reported.
- Diseases that show new changes or modifications that were not reported.
- Unreported and new emerging diseases and its management.
- Unreported symptoms for any diseases.
- New trends or discovery of unreported pathogenesis of any disease.
- Observations that were unusual and unreported.
- Case events occurred unexpectedly.
- Variations in anatomy not early reported.
- Diagnosis that were unconclusive and unreported.
Case report should have the following sections;
|

| Instruction for Review Article |
| |
| Your review should be a critical discussion and avoid making it as summary of early studies. If there are any contradictory researches in your field, you can discuss positive and negative points citing suitable references and discuss the significance. You can also make a review on a particular topic by collecting early published researches and reviews, such that an exhaustive coverage would be given for that topic in current scenario. Focus on recent advances of your topic (if it is well established), since very old review would be an obsolete and does not add goodness to your review. |
| |
| |
| |
| Title |
| |
| Try to avoid too broad topic or subject. Make narrow topic and make review exhaustively and this will rise more citation of your paper. Make your title to be concise, simple, clear and informative. This will help your review to get shortlisted during researchers search. |
| |
| |
| Abstract |
| |
| You need to give a brief summary of you whole review. Include main points of your review. Include some brief points about early research/reviews published and their existing gap or lacuna and the significance or importance of that limitations. Further , add your scope or novelty of your review of how you are review is going to handle or fix those limitations or fill the gap . Do not extensively elaborate the reviews as you would be doing in your remaining part of your paper. The abstract should not be more than 350 words. |
