Instructions to Authors
Types of papers
Lead Articles / Overviews of New Developments in Science and Technology
Contributions from “recognized experts” to educate, initiate and provocate young scientists for undertaking research in innovative, challenging and cross-disciplinary new
research areas. All experts are welcome to contribute. These articles are not meant to be Bibliographic or complete literature reviews but are expected to give selected
references and future/past trends. Articles may be of 3000 to 5000 words. Special “Academy Award Lectures” and “Presidential Addresses” may occasionally be published
under this category.
Short Research Communications
High quality and breakthrough investigations, which need immediate and rapid attention in the field of Science and Technology. Routine research work or data shall not be
acceptable which may be submitted to the regular Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, India for consideration. The maximum number of words for these articles is 2000.
News / Views / Comments
Recent national and international scientific developments and controversial viewpoints. The number of words in such articles should be less than 3000. Short comments and
author’s rebuttal on articles published in this category are also welcome (max. 500 words).
Science and Technology Development and Policy issues
Articles providing details between the interface of Science and Society. Articles should be less than 2000 words.
Academy News / Announcements
The news and different announcements by the Society.
Forthcoming Meetings / Seminars / Conferences
An avenue for informing a wide audience of professional scientists about the meetings, seminars, etc., being organized by different organizations. This would include title and scope of the conference/ organizer’s address/important dates or deadlines. The maximum number of words is 100. All scientists/recognized professional organizations can submit such notifications.
Editorial procedure
Double-blind peer review
This journal follows a double-blind reviewing procedure. Authors are therefore requested to submit:
- A blinded manuscript without any author names and affiliations in the text or on the title page. Self-identifying citations and references in the article text should be avoided.
- A separate title page, containing title, all author names, affiliations, and the contact information of the corresponding author. Any acknowledgements, disclosures, or funding information should also be included on this page.
Manuscript Submission
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
Online Submission
Authors should submit their manuscripts online. Electronic submission substantially reduces the editorial processing and reviewing times and shortens overall publication times. Please follow the hyperlink “Submit online” on the right and upload all of your manuscript files following the instructions given on the screen.

The title page should include:
- The name(s) of the author(s)
- A concise and informative title

Text
Text Formatting
Manuscripts should be submitted in Word.
- Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 10-point Times Roman) for text.

- Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages.
- Do not use field functions.
- Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar.
- Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables.

- Save your file in docx format (Word 2007 or higher) or doc format (older Word versions).
Manuscripts with mathematical content can also be submitted in LaTeX.
Headings
Please use no more than three levels of displayed headings.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.
Footnotes
Footnotes can be used to give additional information, which may include the citation of a reference included in the reference list. They should not consist solely of a reference citation, and they should never include the bibliographic details of a reference. They should also not contain any figures or tables.
Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data). Footnotes to the title or the authors of the article are not given reference symbols.
Always use footnotes instead of endnotes.

Scientific style
Generic names of drugs and pesticides are preferred; if trade names are used, the generic name should be given at first mention.
Scientific style
Please use the standard mathematical notation for formulae, symbols etc.:
- Italic for single letters that denote mathematical constants, variables, and unknown quantities
- Roman/upright for numerals, operators, and punctuation, and commonly defined functions or abbreviations, e.g., cos, det, e or exp, lim, log, max, min, sin, tan, d (for derivative)
- Bold for vectors, tensors, and matrices.
References
Citation
Reference citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets. Some examples:
1. Negotiation research spans many disciplines [3].
2. This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman [5].
3. This effect has been widely studied [1-3, 7].
Reference list
The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list.
The entries in the list should be numbered consecutively.
