Criteria for Publication
Outlined below are the mandatory criteria for any article to be considered for publication in the Indian Journal of Science and Technology. Failure to adhere to these criteria will result in rejection of the article by the editorial team.
Manuscript Preparation Guidelines
Articles submitted to Indian Journal of Science and Technology should conform to the guidelines indicated below. Before you submit, please study the author checklist provided at the end of this document. Following is the chronological order of topics to be included in the article:
Cover Letter
The covering letter should be written by the corresponding author indicating how the manuscript is suitable for publication in Indian Journal of Science and Technology. All authors names are to be included in the letter (preferably along with their signatures) stating the article has not been published elsewhere or communicated to any other publication apart from Indian Journal of Science and Technology. If the article is authored by a student, it is requested that he/she obtain the approval of the institution department prior to submitting the article.
Electronic Formats
Authors are requested to send their articles in MS Word (.doc) format. In case of any difficulty with the manuscript submission process or concern regarding the suitability of your files, please contact us at [email protected]
Article Title
The title should be concise and specific to the topic of the article, avoid using abbreviations in the title. Titles should be presented in title case, meaning that all words except for prepositions, articles, and conjunctions should be capitalized. All botanical names should be in italics.
E.g. An Experimental Study of Classification Algorithms for Crime Prediction
Author names & Affiliations
Provide first names or initials (if used), middle names or initials (if used), and surnames for all authors. Affiliation details should include—department, university or organization, city, state and country for all authors. One of the authors should be designated as the corresponding author with asterisk (*) against his/her name. Only the corresponding author’s email address should be provided in the article. It is the corresponding author’s responsibility to ensure that the author list and the summary of the author contributions to the study are accurate and complete.
Abstract & Keywords
The abstract introduces the article and should not exceed 300 words. It should briefly mention the techniques/samples used; mention if modifications made in the proven methods without detailing the published methods; summarize the most important results. Please do not include any citations in the abstract and avoid using abbreviations if possible.
The abstract must include the following sub-headings:
