The Abstract should be informative and completely self-explanatory, briefly present the topic, state the scope of the experiments, indicate significant data, and point out major findings and conclusions. The abstract should be upto 250 words in length. Complete sentences, active verbs, and the third person should be used, and the abstract should be written in the past tense. Standard nomenclature should be used and abbreviations should be avoided. No literature should be cited.
Key Words

Introduction
The Introduction should be concise and define the scope of the work in relation to other work done in the same field.
Materials and Methods
Materials and Methods should be complete enough and clearly describe the experiments and techniques used in the study. 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.
Statistical Methods
The details of statistical tests used and the level of significance should be stated. If more than one test is used it is important to indicate which groups and parameters have been subjected to which test.
Results
Results should be combined and presented with clarity and precision. The results should be written in the past tense when describing findings in the author(s)'s experiments. Previously published findings should be written in the present tense.
Discussion
The Discussion should interpret the findings in view of the results obtained in this and in past studies on this topic.
This section should deal with the interpretation, rather than recapitulation of results. It is important to discuss the new and significant observations in the light of previous work. Discuss also the weaknesses or pitfalls in the study. New hypotheses or recommendations can be put forth. Avoid unqualified statements and conclusions not completely supported by the data. Repetition of information given under Introduction and Results should be avoided.

Acknowledgement(s)
Author(s) may acknowledge the support obtained in the study. It should be typed in a new page. Acknowledge only persons who have contributed to the scientific content or provided technical support. Sources of financial support should be mentioned.
Tables
Tables should be kept as minimum as possible and placed at appropriate place in the text and be designed to be as simple as possible. Tables should be self-explanatory without reference to the text. The details of the methods used in the experiments should preferably be described in the legend instead of in the text. The same data should not be presented in both table and graph forms or repeated in the text.Tables should be prepared in Microsoft Word.
Don’t keep tables/figures at the end of article. All the tables/figures should be kept at appropriate place in the text of article where you have mentioned about these tables/figures. All the tables/figures should be mentioned in text of article.
Figure legends:Graphics should be prepared using applications capable of generating high resolution GIF, TIFF, JPEG or PowerPoint before pasting in the Microsoft Word manuscript file. Use Arabic numerals to designate figures and upper case letters for their parts (Figure 1). Figures can be attached as JPEG file.
References
The references may be cited in Vancouver style or Oxford style.
Avoid citing abstracts as references.
Each reference should be assigned a number, consecutively in the order of mention in the text.
References are to be cited in the text by superscribed number and should be in the order in which they appear. The original number should be reused each time the same reference is cited in the text. The number should be placed in the text as superscript inside bracket and in bold & blue color like [1], outside the full-stops and commas and inside colons and semi-colons. When multiple references are cited at a given place in the text, use a hyphen to join the first and last numbers that are inclusive and use commas to separate non-inclusive numbers (2-5,7,10).
For Vancouver style, reference numbers should be in increasing order like 1,2,3,4,5…. throughout the text of article starting from INTRODUCTION section. Don’t write reference number in ABSTRACT.
The list of references should be given at the end of the paper. If there are 3 or less authors, mention name of all the authors. Where there are more than 3 authors, use et al after the third author.
References mentioned in text of article must be shown in REFERENCE section and vice-versa.
