2. A separate one page document containing author’s affiliation, contact address, title and abstract of the manuscript, acknowledgement if any has to be submitted. The manuscript must be an independent document which should not contain any of the above details.
3. Initial submission of the manuscript should be typewritten double-spaced on A4 size paper (210 x 297 mm) ( hard copy version: on one side only). Insert the figures and tables where they are indicated in the text (i.e. the body of the paper).
4. The abstract should not exceed 300 words. Relevant six keywords should be provided after the abstract. Manuscripts should not exceed 35 pages in double spacing format (including all tables and figures).
5. Figures should be planned to fit the journal’s page size that is 12 by 18cm. Line drawings should be made with black India ink on a good grade of white drawing paper. (Xerox or mimeographed material should not be used.) All lettering should be professional in appearance (no freehand lettering). All lines should be clear and sharp, show a uniform degree of blackness, and be proportionate to the size of the graph. Photographs to be included should be glossy contrast prints. Figures should be numbered as Figure.1. ; Figures 1-4. (inside the body of the paper and in the caption). Colour figures are allowed in electronic copy without extra charge but in the hardcopy extra money will be charged ($ 50 per colour figure) subjected to the willingness of the authors’. Black and white figures will incur no charge for publication.
