The Editor in-chief (Managing Editor) only communicates the final decision and informs the authors about further processing.

Revised manuscript submission

When revision of a manuscript is requested, authors should return the revised version of their manuscript as soon as possible. Prompt action may ensure fast publication if a paper is finally accepted for publication.

Types of manuscripts

Research articles should present new experimental studies in elaborate form that constitute a significant contribution to knowledge. Research articles should not exceed 15 pages.

Review articles should bring up the most important current topics or present interpretative and critical accounts, but not simple compilation, on subjects of general interest. It should be long enough to cover up-to-date information. All format requirements are same as those applicable to full papers. Review articles need not be divided into sections such as Materials and Methods and Results and Discussion, but should definitely have an Abstract and Introduction, if necessary. Review Papers should not exceed 25 pages.

Case reports: Case reports can be prepared with suitable introduction and case out puts in suitable formats. Suitable sub titles can be made.

Transfer of Copyright Agreement
