revised manuscripts and indicates their status throughout the
submission process.
All submissions must be made via our Online Manuscript Submission and
Tracking System. New user /unregistered authors must create an account
yourself as a new user. After registration, login using your email id
and password to access our Online Manuscript Submission and Tracking
System than click on new submission option and submit your manuscript
with cover letter in prescribed word format. After submission you can
also track the review progress of your manuscript at any time through
logging into the login page (OMSTS).
Note- Only electronic submissions will be considered.
Manuscripts submitted by e-mail will not be considered. Revised
manuscripts should be uploaded via the link provided in the editor's
decision letter. Please do not submit revisions as new manuscripts.
Structure of Manuscript
The manuscript should be presented in the following order.
Title
Title should be Concise and informative. Avoid abbreviations and formulae to the extent possible.
Authors’ Names and Affiliations
Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was
done) below their names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case
superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of
the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each
affiliation, including the country name and e-mail address of each
author.
Corresponding author
Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of
refereeing and publication. Ensure that phone numbers (with country and
area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the
complete postal address.
Abstract
All manuscripts must include a brief but informative Abstract. It should
not exceed 200 words and should describe the scope, hypothesis or
rationale for the work and the main findings. The abstract should allow
the reader to quickly have a clear idea about the rational for the
work, the experiments conducted and the results of those experiments
before reading the rest of the manuscript. Both common and scientific
names should be included; the authorities are not given if they appear
in the title. References to the literature and mathematical
symbols/equations should not be included.
Keywords
Key words between (3-7) should be provided below the Abstract to assist with indexing of the manuscript.
Introduction
The Introduction should briefly indicate the objectives of the study and
provide enough background information to clarify why the study was
undertaken and what hypotheses were tested. The last paragraph should outline the organization of the manuscript.
Literature
In this section, the author describes the previous research works in the
form of title, problem statement, objectives, not repeat the
information discussed in Introduction.
Methodology
This section should be concise but provide sufficient detail of the
material used and equipment and the procedure followed to allow the
work to be repeated by others.
Results
Results should be presented in a logical sequence in the text, tables
and figures. Repetitive presentation of the same data in tables and
figures should be avoided. The results should not contain material
appropriate to the Discussion. All tables, graphs, statistical analyses
and sample calculations should be presented in this section. Please do not give scanned equation/formula.
Discussion
The results should be discussed in relation to any hypotheses advanced
in the Introduction. Comment on results and indicate possible sources
of error. Place the study in the context of other work reported in the
literature. Refer to graphs, tables and figures
by number. This helps tie the data into the text in a very effective
manner. Authors should also take future research and limitations into
account in the Discussion section.
Conclusion and Future Scope
The main conclusions of the experimental work should be presented. The
contribution of the work to the scientific community and its economic
implications should be emphasized. In last paragraph author describes
the future Scope for improvement.
Appendix (Define last page of manuscript)
If there are multiple appendices, they should be identified as A, B,
etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate
numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq.
(B.1) and so on. Similar nomenclature should be followed for tables and
figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.
Acknowledgment

Author Contributions

manuscript that specifies the contribution of every author. The level
of detail varies; some disciplines produce manuscripts that comprise
discrete efforts readily articulated in detail, whereas other fields
operate as group efforts at all stages.

reference is complete and accurate. Only published and "in press"
references should appear in the reference list. Please ensure that every
reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and
