All text should be fully justified. Please put all primary section titles in UPPER CASE letters and subheading in both Upper and Lower Case letters. Do not number your titles (for example, 1.0 Introduction; 2.0 Background).

4. KEYWORDS:

3-6 keywords are to be provided by the authors. These keywords should be typed at the end of the abstract on the same page.

 

5. INTRODUCTION:

The introduction should not be an extensive literature review although it should provide sufficient background information for the reader to understand and evaluate the results of the present study.

 

6. MATERIALS AND METHODS:

The section should include sufficient technical information to allow the experiments to be performed. Procedural detail that has been published previously should be referred to by citation.

 

7. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:

Results should be described as concisely as possible in one of the following ways: text, table(s), or figure(s). The reproducibility and statistical significance of measurements, material or biological data, must be included where relevant.

The Discussion should provide an interpretation of the results and their significance with regard to previously published work. There should not be any significant repetition of the experimental procedures or reiteration of the introduction.

 

8. CONCLUSION:

A short, paragraph summarizing the most important finding(s) of the research is required.

 

9. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS:

The source of any financial support, gifts, technical assistance and advice received for the work being published must be indicated in the Acknowledgments section.

 

10. REFERENCES:

Referencing is a standardized way of acknowledging the sources of information and ideas that you have used in your research work and which allows the sources to be identified. It is important to be consistent when you are referencing.

The Vancouver style of referencing is predominantly used in the medical field and Para medical science. When referencing your work in the Vancouver style, it is very important that you use the right punctuation and that the order of details in the reference is also correct. References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text (not in alphabetic order)

This section should be organized as follows: Abstract, Introduction, Materials and methods, Results and discussion (combined). Not more than 10 references should be provided. Tables, figures and references are to be arranged in the same way as for research papers. Brevity of presentation is essential for this section.
