Introduction

Mostly Papers starts with introduction. It contains the brief idea of work, requirement for this research work, problem statement, and the Authors contribution towards their research. Sufficient recent reference citations from the last 3-5 years should be included for showing the existing challenges and importance of current work. This section should be succinct, with no subheadings unless unavoidable. State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background related to your work, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.

The “Introduction” section must contain the following: research topic, review of literature on the topic studied, problem statement, the aim of the study, information about the relevance and significance of the proposed study. A clearly formulated aim of the research, justification of the scientific novelty, and significance of the study carried out must be specified in the introduction. In the introductory part of the article, a meaningful analysis of the existing modern literature (monographs, articles, manuals, etc., published, as a rule, over the past 3-5 years) on the scientific field of the research performed should be provided by the author. It is assumed that this analysis will be problematic, i.e. the formal transfer of the existing works on the subject mustn’t be observed, but the author's vision on scientific works already conducted by other scientists, the advantages and disadvantages of these works with access to the subject of specific (conducted by the author and reflected in the article) study and, therefore, the rationale derived from the presented analysis of modern scientific works chosen by the author.

Research Methodology

This part should contain sufficient detail to reproduce reported data. It can be divided into subsections if several methods are described. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference, only relevant modifications should be described. The methodology should be written concisely in detail by maintaining the continuity of the texts.

Theory and Calculation

A Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction and lay the foundation for further work. In contrast, a Calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis. Do not add extensive basic definitions or well-known theories, instead highlight the theoretical background and its specific usages in view of your work only.

Mathematical Expressions and Symbols

Mathematical expressions and symbols should be inserted using equation tool of Microsoft word. References may be added for used equations to support its authenticity, e.g. this result has been analysed using Fourier series.

Results and Discussion

This section may each be divided by subheadings or may be combined. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. This should explore the significance of the results of the work, don’t repeat them. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature only, instead discuss recent literature for comparing your work to highlight novelty of the work in view of recent development and challenges in the field.

Preparation of Figures and Tables

Authors are supposed to embed all figures and tables at appropriate place within manuscript. Figures and tables should neither be submitted in separate files nor add at the end of manuscript. Figures and Tables should be numbered properly with descriptive title. Each Figure/Table must be explained within the text by referring to corresponding figure/table number. Any unexplained or unnumbered Figure/Table may cause rejection of the paper without being reviewed.

Figures should be used in bitmap formats (TIFF, GIF, JPEG, etc.) with 300 dpi resolution at least unless the resolution is intentionally set to a lower level for scientific reasons. If a bitmap image has labels, the image and labels should be embedded in separate layer.

Conclusions

Each manuscript should contain a conclusion section within 250-450 words which may contain the major outcome of the work, highlighting its importance, limitation, relevance, application and recommendation. Conclusion should be written in continuous manner with running sentences which normally includes main outcome of the research work, its application, limitation and recommendation.

If plagiarism is detected, either by the editors, peer reviewers, or editorial staff at any stage before publication of a manuscript - before or after acceptance, during editing,- or at page proof stage, we will alert the author(s), asking her or him to either rewrite the text or quote the text exactly and to cite the original source. If the plagiarism is extensive - that is, if at least 10% of the original submission is plagiarized - the article may be rejected and the author's institution/employer notified.

A Policy of checking for plagiarism

The manuscripts in which plagiarism is detected are handled based on the extent of plagiarism present in the manuscript: if < 10% plagiarism – the manuscript is immediately sent back to the authors for content revision, and if > 10% plagiarism – the manuscript is rejected without editorial review. The authors are advised to revise the plagiarized parts of the manuscript and resubmit it as a fresh manuscript.

Recommendations for avoiding plagiarism

-Use quotation marks around words taken verbatim from a source

-Change no part of the quotation within the context of the sentence

-Use brackets around added words

-Limit the use of direct quotes

Attempt to paraphrase the information, or summarize the information derived from a variety of sources using your own words.

Because the author no longer owns the rights to these words, one should not plagiarize them. Most editors and reviewers would argue that self-plagiarism is unethical. Thus, an author cannot copy one’s own material for a new manuscript without the permission of the copyright holder. Alternatives include using quotes around short phrases from your own work and citing appropriate references.
