Instructions to Authors
(a) Aims & Scope
Defence Science Journal, a quarterly Journal of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), publishes original research papers having direct bearing on Defence. It covers various disciplines of science, technology and engineering. The major subject fields covered include: applied physics, chemical technology, material sciences, biomedical sciences, computer sciences, engineering, electronics, and aeronautics.
(b) Typescripts Accepted
The Journal publishes full-length research papers, review articles, short communications, research notes and scientific correspondence. In addition, it includes invited papers sought for its special issues.
Research papers (Max length: 3000 words or 10 typed pages of A4 size including figures) are expected to contain original research findings in a clear and concise manner. Papers reporting theoretical, laboratory and field test results are also considered for publication.
Review articles (Max length: 5000 words or 20 typed pages of A4 size including figures) are expected to survey, integrate and critically examine new information accumulated in recent years in a particular subject field. Review articles from subject experts are also commissioned by the Editor.
Short communications/research notes/scientific correspondence (Max length: 2000 words or 8 typed pages including figures) are normally brief reports or technical notes on the progress of ongoing research and/or an application.
(c) Refereeing Process
All papers received for publication in the Journal are subjected to refereeing by eminent peers who are active in the relevant fields of research .
(d) Submission of Typescripts

(ix) Personal Communication
Personal communications shall not be listed under references but included in the text itself. The references shall be given as shown below:
The number of registered publications under Copyright Clearance Centre (CCC), Salem, USA, now totals approx. 6000,000 titles used by 3,600 publishers (personal communication with CCC), whereas in 1986 there were only 58,000 publications registered from 1,100 publishers.
Apart from the above guidelines, the form in which the cited document is published, for example, mimeograph, microfiche, microfilm or other microform; CD-ROM or other electronic medium; and the language of publication other than English shall be indicated by adding the respective element in parentheses at the end of the reference. Also, if the cited document is unpublished, this shall be indicated in parentheses at the end of the reference.
(h) Tables
Tables should supplement and should not duplicate the information contained in the text. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet. All the tables should be numbered consecutively in Indo-Arabic numerals (1,2,3..etc). They should be provided with brief titles. Column headings should be brief and the units of measurement should be placed below the headings in parentheses.
(i) Illustrations
Illustrations should be numbered in order of their occurrence in the text with Indo-Arabic numerals and should have short descriptive captions. Line drawings should be neatly drawn on tracing sheets, preferably with Indian ink and should not exceed 20 cm x 25 cm in size. Lettering should be in capital only and large enough to be legible after a reduction of 50-60 per cent. Computer printouts reproduce poorly and therefore should be avoided. One set of original drawings on tracing paper and three photocopies of each drawing should be sent with the typescript for review purpose. Illustrations taken from other publications must be acknowledged. It is the author's responsibility to obtain permission for reprinting such illustrations in Defence Science Journal. Figures/photographs should be of high contrast and should be on glossy paper. Two copies of each figure should be sent, taking proper care in packing so that they are not spoiled in transit. On the back side of the illustrationslfigures/tables, their number, short title and the first author's name should be written with pencil.
(j) Symbols/Units
Non-standard abbreviations should be shown in brackets where they are first mentioned, and these abbreviations should be used whenever the same terms appear again in the text. These abbreviations should, however, be kept to a minimum and should not be used in the title and the abstract. Usage of metric units is preferred.
(k) Nomenclature
The nomenclature of mathematical symbols and signs used in the text should be given immediately after the abstract. Authors can follow any of the standard units and symbols developed by international agencies in their fields for this purpose.
(I) Special Items
When chemical/mathematical equations are used in papers, they should be legible, written preferably in Indian ink. The symbols, not covered in nomenclature (or when nomenclature is not given), should be explained immediately after their first usage in the text. Equations should be consecutively numbered in whole numbers in parentheses (for example, (2), ( 15), ( 19), etc.) at the right margin. Reference to the equations in the text should be abbreviated as Eqn (1), Eqns (5-7), etc. Complex structural formulae of chemical compounds should be prepared as illustrations. In tables, usage of empirical or molecular formulae of chemical structural formulae is suggested. Words and phrases of foreign origin (for example, et al; in vitro; in situ) should be italic. Capital, lower case and Greek letters should be distinguished clearly. Letters which are sometimes confused for one another (for example,O&0;1& I;V,v&v;r&v;X,x&x;K,k&K;E&e;etc.) should clearly be distinguished. When a Greek letter is used, it should be spelt out in the margin where it is first used.
(m) Proofs and Reprints
The author(s) will be supplied 30 reprints, free of charge. Extra copies can be ordered while sending the corrected proof, which would be supplied on payment.
Papers which do not conform to these guidelines will not be accepted .
