2. Abstract (Minimum 250 words)
3. Keywords (Up to 6)
4. Subject Area (Relevant Field of Study)
5. Main Sections:

• Introduction
• Materials and Methods
• Results and Discussion

For manuscripts in Hindi, Sanskrit, Gujarati, or other languages, authors must provide the first five elements in both English and the native language.

Title Page

The title page should include the manuscript title, author details, contact information, abstract, keywords, and subject area.

Abstract

The abstract should summarize the research purpose, key findings, and conclusions in 250 words. It should not duplicate the information already mentioned in the title. References should be avoided in the abstract.

Keywords

A maximum of six keywords should be listed immediately after the abstract.

Introduction

The introduction should highlight the study’s purpose and link it to existing research. A detailed literature review is not necessary—only recent and relevant references should be cited.

Materials and Methods

This section should be concise, explaining only new methodologies. Established procedures should be referenced rather than described in detail.

Results and Discussion

The results should present experimental designs, optimizations, and findings, while the discussion should interpret these results logically and with proper justification. The Results and Discussion sections may be combined if necessary.

Conclusion

The conclusion should provide a brief summary of the research, including key findings from materials, methods, results, and discussions.
