● The author should mention at least 4 to 6 keywords which will be used for indexing purpose.
● The introduction should provide the statement of the study as well as relevant literature and complete background of research work in a clear and concise manner. Materials and methods should be brief and clear to describe the experiments and techniques used in the research work. This section should provide enough details to skilled researchers to replicate your research. If some protocols are well established then author may refer to the article where they are described in details.
● Results and discussions sections may contain subheadings as appropriate. Collectively these sections should provide details of important findings of the research.

● A citation to a reference in the body of the text is recommended by a bracketed number corresponding to the reference number in the reference section. Example: The word laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation [1].
● A complete reference should include the name of the author, title of the article or name of the book, and the bibliographic information about the article such as the name of the journal or publisher, volume, year of publication and page numbers (if appropriate). e.g.
Reference to a journal publication:
Authors, “Title of the article”, Name of journal, volume, Year of publication, Page numbers.

Reference to a Book:
Authors, “Title” Publisher, Year of Publication.
D.A. Cremers and L.J. Radziemski, “Handbook of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy” Second Edition, Wiley (2013).
