You may submit your manuscript as a single Word document for the refereeing process. Only when your paper reaches the revision stage will you be required to format it correctly for acceptance and provide the necessary items for publication. The corresponding author must provide full contact details for all authors.

To expedite the review process, authors should nominate three potential referees who are not affiliated with the same institute or collaborators. Referee details should include the full name, designation, institute/university details, current email ID, web link address, and area of expertise. However, we cannot guarantee that your manuscript will be sent to the suggested reviewers.

Manuscripts must be submitted using the Publisher’s template. Please consult all instructions in this section before beginning your submission.

Types of Papers

• Original research articles
• Case studies
• Review articles

All manuscripts should be concise, highlighting the motivation and novel aspects of the work. Contributions should include an Abstract (not more than 300 words) and a Conclusions section, which, particularly in theoretical papers, translates the results into terms readily accessible to most readers.

There is a page limit for manuscripts, figures, and tables. Regular research articles should not exceed 20 pages (1.5 spacing), with no more than 10 figures and 3 tables. Review articles should not exceed 50 pages (including figures and tables).

Priority Communications Priority communication (letters) is dedicated to publishing novel, cutting-edge reports of broad interest to the scholarly community (must include a statement on “prime novelty”). Manuscripts submitted for review should not exceed 3000 words, 5 figures (resolution at least 300 dpi in TIF format), and 3 tables. This includes the title, authors, affiliations, abstract, keywords, manuscript body, conclusion, acknowledgments, references, figure captions, tables, etc.

Priority communications should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief of the respective journal and will be prioritized in both the refereeing and production processes.

Submission Checklist: Use this checklist to carry out a final review of your submission before sending it to the journal:

• Abstract
• Keywords
• All figures (with relevant captions)
• All tables (with titles, descriptions, footnotes)
• Ensure all figure and table citations in the text match the files provided

Essential Title Page Information:

• Title: Concise and informative. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
• Author names and affiliations: Clearly indicate the given and family names of each author, ensuring correct spelling. Present the authors’ affiliation addresses below their names. Indicate all affiliations with a lowercase superscript letter after the author’s name and before the address. Provide the full postal address, including country name, and email address of each author.
• Corresponding author: Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages. Ensure the e-mail address is given and kept up-to-date.
• Present/permanent address: If an author has moved since the work was done, or was visiting at the time, a ‘Present address’ (or ‘Permanent address’) may be indicated as a footnote. The address where the work was done must be retained as the main affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.

Cover Letter Guidance: A cover letter (sometimes referred to as a justification or letter to reviewers) is an opportunity to promote your work to the editor and reviewers. Use it to explain the importance of your work and why it suits the journal.

Things to Consider:

• State the correct journal name
• Address your letter to the Editor-in-Chief
• Include a succinct statement about the importance and impact of your work
• Avoid repeating information from your abstract or introduction
• Check your spelling

Declaration of Interest: All authors must disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest, including financial, personal, or other relationships, within three years of beginning the submitted work that could inappropriately influence, or be perceived to influence, their work.

Changes to Authorship: Authors should carefully consider the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide a definitive list at the time of submission. Any changes to the authorship list must be made before the manuscript is accepted and must be approved by the journal Editor.

To request such a change, the corresponding author must provide:

1. The reason for the change in the author list
2. Written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal, or rearrangement.

If adding or removing authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed. Only in exceptional circumstances will changes be considered after acceptance. The publication of the manuscript will be suspended while the Editor reviews the request. If the manuscript has been published online, any approved changes will result in a corrigendum.

Manuscript Submission: Authors should submit their articles via the online submission system (Link will be Updated Soon). The corresponding author should provide the email IDs of all co-authors.
