- Each paper must be typed on snow white paper sheets of A4 (210x297mm) size only on one side in boxes. The abstract must be typed in 16 cm width box. The text of paper in the first page must be written in two columns 8.25 cm in width. All next pages must also have two columns 8.25 cm in width.

- The figures can be embedded in word processor or must be drawn in black ink. Drawings can be produced directly on manuscript sheet or may be produced on separate piece of white paper and then stuck at the appropriate position. Photographs must be glossy black and white prints and stuck at the appropriate position. This also applies to other items such as tables. The best – drawings, photographs and tables should be typed by word processor. All symbols including equations should be typed.
- However, sometimes embedding figure files in Microsoft Word is not acceptable for final output, because of the loss of resolution. Acceptable formats for figures are JPEG, TIFF or EPS files saved from original application at 300-600 dpi.
- The Figures, line drawings, photographs, tables may be positioned either within the one column, or large centered exactly across the full width of the page. The equations should be numbered at the right side of the column. The references should be given at the end of the paper. The Figures, Tables and Equations should be separated from the text by minimum one single free line
- The manuscript is expected to be written in correct and easily readable English. An author who is not proficient in English is advised to take help of linguist before typing. It should be thoroughly checked for spelling mistakes.

The Editor-in-Chief will correspond with the author in the light of these reviews. Submission implies that the author will be willing to make any necessary revisions. Retain all original figures until conclusion of the review process.
