GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT<br />
1. Title <strong>of</strong> the article should be short, specific, phrased to identify the content and indicate the nature <strong>of</strong><br />
study.<br />
2. Names should be in capitals prefixed with initials and separated by commas. For more than two authors<br />
the names should be followed by ‘and’ in small letters before the end <strong>of</strong> last name. Full address <strong>of</strong> the<br />
place <strong>of</strong> research in small letters should be typed below the names. Present address and E-mail ID <strong>of</strong><br />
the author may be given as foot note.<br />
3. <strong>The</strong> full length paper should have the titles ABSTRACT, MATERIALS AND METHODS, RESULTS<br />
AND DISCUSSION, REFERENCES-all typed in capitals and bold font - 12. <strong>The</strong> research note will<br />
have only one title REFERENCES.<br />
4. ABSTRACT: <strong>The</strong> content should include the year, purpose, methodology and salient findings <strong>of</strong> the<br />
experiment in brief not exceeding 200 words. It should be so framed that the reader need not refer to<br />
the article except for details.<br />
5. INTRODUCTION : Should be without title and indicate the reasons which prompted the research,<br />
objectives and the likely implication. <strong>The</strong> review <strong>of</strong> recent literature should be pertinent to the problem.<br />
<strong>The</strong> content must be brief and precise.<br />
6. MATERIALS AND METHODS : Should include very clearly the experimental techniques and the<br />
statistical methods adopted. Citation <strong>of</strong> standard work is sufficient for the well known methods.<br />
7. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION : Great care should be taken to highlight the important findings with<br />
support <strong>of</strong> the data well distinguished by statistical measures like CD, r, Z test etc. Too descriptive<br />
explanation for the whole data is not desirable. <strong>The</strong> treatments should be briefly expressed instead <strong>of</strong><br />
abbreviations like T 1<br />
, T 2<br />
etc. <strong>The</strong> discussion should be crisp and relate to the limitations or advantages<br />
<strong>of</strong> the findings in comparison with the work <strong>of</strong> others.<br />
8. REFERENCES : Literature cited should be latest. References dating back to more than 10 years are<br />
not desirable. Names <strong>of</strong> authors, their spelling and year <strong>of</strong> publication should coincide both in<br />
the text and references. <strong>The</strong> following examples should be followed while listing the references from<br />
different sources.<br />
