The PDF of the Template can also be downloaded. Please prepare a PDF of your manuscript using one of these templates only.
  2. Figures should be in JPG/PNG/PDF format only with good resolution. The file size of a figure should preferably be less than 1 MB and the PDF of the manuscript should be of less than 10 MB size. Axes labels, legends in figures should be clearly readable without zooming in.
  3. Title should have maximum of 80 characters including space and the abstract should be within 200 words.
  4. Authors need to provide 3 to 6 keywords appropriate for the article.
  5. The body of the text should be divided into different sections preferably starting with “Introduction” and ending with “Conclusions”. Sections should be numbered I, II, III..while sub-sections of section I should be numbered as I.A, I.B..
  6. Tables should be numbered using I, II, III..in order of their appearance. Figures should be numbered using 1, 2, 3..in order of their appearance. They should have appropriate captions to make them self-explanatory. Tables, Figures should be referred as Table I, Fig. 1 etc. in the text.
  7. Equations should be numbered as (1), (2)..and be referred as Eq. (1), Eq. (2) etc. in the text.
  8. Acknowledgements and Appendices, if any, should appear after the last section of the manuscript i.e. “Conclusions”.

  9. References should appear at the end of the manuscript. For example, the article titled “A Model of Leptons” written by Steven Weinberg, published in Physical Review Letters volume 19, page 1264 in the year 1967 should be included in the “References” as [1] S. Weinberg, A Model of Leptons, Phys. Rev. Lett. 19, 1264 (1967). This should be cited in the text as [1]. Arxiv pre-print ID, DOI can also be included in the reference, if available. DOI, if available, will be hyperlinked with the journal information.
