Journal of Scientific and Technical Research particularly aims at publishing the finest peer-reviewed research in all fields on the basis of its originality, importance, interdisciplinary interest, accessibility and useful conclusions. The accepted papers are published within 12 weeks. There are no processing or publishing charges. Indexing of the journal in different data bases is in process.

Instructions for Authors

Thank you for choosing to submit your paper to Journal of Scientific and Technical Research (JSTR). These instructions will ensure we have everything required so your paper can move through peer review, production and publication smoothly. Please take the time to read them and follow the instructions as closely as possible.

 Submission of Manuscript

Journal of Scientific and Technnical Research (JSTR) receives all manuscript submissions electronically via its Manuscript Central website located at:  http://www.intellectink.in

The journal publishes the following types of manuscripts:

(i) Full papers

(ii) Communications

(iii) Reviews

Manuscript Central allows for rapid submission of original and revised manuscripts as well as facilitating the review process and internal communication between authors, editors, and reviewers via a web-based platform. For Manuscript Central technical support, you may contact the Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Bhunvesh Kumar (bhuvnesh.kumar@sharda.ac.in), or the Managing Editor, Dr. Lalit P Chandravanshi (Lalit.chandravanshi@sharda.ac.in) or Editor Dr. B C Tripathi ( baishnab.tripathy@sharda.ac.in ).

Some of the following outlines may be useful for preparing Manuscript and it Organization:

General: Manuscripts should be formatted for A4 or Letter page size using 1.15 spacing and with a margin of at least 1.8 cm all around.

The first page of the manuscript should include:

(i) The title (bold, 14 font size, centre text, times new roman) of the paper that describes the content succinctly;

(ii) The names of all the authors (normal text, 12 font size, centre text, times new roman) with at least one forename in full

(i.e. Vinay K. Verma) for each; the corresponding author should be indicated with an asterisk (*);

(iii) The address of the authors (normal text, 10 font size, centre text, times new roman); if there are multiple addresses, put

each one with the author’s name; a valid email address of corresponding author shown as (*) must be included;

Length of Manuscript

The maximum preferred length for original articles is 25 pages (including figures and tables). Communications should not exceed 1000 words and reviews should not exceed 35 pages. Authors should append the tables, figures, and calculation at the appropriate places in running text only.

Language

Original articles, communications and reviews must be written in English which will be published in English only. An abstract must be supplied of not more than 200 words in length, which summarizes the significant findings and coverage of the paper, and should be understood without reference to the text. Communications should have abstracts limited to 150 words.

Keywords

Each paper must have three to seven keywords.

Format of Manuscript

The manuscript should be organized in the following order: Abstract, Keywords, introduction, Experimental, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgments, References, and, where necessary, Supplemental Materials. An experimental procedure is required for communications. A shortened version of the title to be used as the running head is required (no more than 50 characters) should be supplied. 12-Point font in Times new roman is expected. Manuscripts not corresponding to the appropriate format will require author correction.

Experimental

The experimental should include a paragraph outlining the instrumental methods, mathematical modelling and computational procedures used (which ever applicable to you).

Abbreviations

Use of standard abbreviations is expected throughout, and are used without periods: examples include mp, °C, K, min, h, mL, cm, mol, ppm, TLC, J. The use of SI units is preferred.

Tables

Every table must be referred to in the text. Tables are to be numbered sequentially. A short, descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below. All units must be included. Tables should be created in Microsoft Word whenever possible.

Figures and Illustrations

Every figure and scheme must be referred to in the text, sequentially numbered, and include a caption. Digital files are recommended for illustrations (line drawings, halftones, photographs, photomicrographs, etc.) and should be of at least 300 dpi quality (600 dpi is preferred for schemes and line art); JPEG format; and sized to fit on a journal page. Lettering must be of sufficient size so that it is legible upon reduction as needed.

References

References are indicated in the text by consecutive numerals in square bracket i.e. [1]. The full list should be collected and included at the end of the paper in numerical order under the heading “References.” Listed references are required to be complete but without the title of article. Author first name should precede their last name (as V. K. Verma); journal title abbreviations should conform to Chemical Abstracts style. Authors are encouraged to use Microsoft Word for collecting and numbering references for consistent style and rapid editing. Responsibility for the accuracy of the reference rests with the authors, and use of a suitable style guide is recommended. Multiple references that are related can be identified with letters and given under a single citation.
