It is advisable that the authors submit an abstract to the Editor-in-Chief, prior to submitting the full manuscript. The submitted abstract should outline the intended contents and coverage of their article. The manuscript, written in English, should not exceed 60 pages in length and it should be typed in double spacing throughout on A-4 or US Letter (8.5x11 inches) paper. Dot matrix print or any print that is difficult to read is unacceptable. Two copies of the manuscript must accompany the original (along with a computer disk) and should be sent to the Editor at his given address. All pages should be numbered. Abbreviations should be defined the first time that they are used in the manuscript and a list of abbreviations used should also be provided.
Manuscript Organization: The manuscript should be divided as: Title page, abstract and the main text. The text may be subdivided further according to the areas to be discussed. This should be followed by the Acknowledgement (if any) and Reference sections. The first page should contain the title, the authors' names (initials and surname only), with an asterisk to mark the name of the principal author.
Conflict of Interest: Financial contributions to the work being reported should be clearly acknowledged, as should any potential conflict of interest.
Abstract: The abstract should not exceed 250 words and it should condense the essential features of the review article, with the focus on the major advances in the field.
Key Words: Authors must supply up to eight key words along with their manuscript.
Text: The main text should begin on a separate page and it may be subdivided into separate sections. The review article should mention any previous important reviews in the field and contain a comprehensive discussion starting with the general background of the field. It should then go on to discuss the salient features of recent developments. The authors should avoid presenting material which has already been published in any previous review. The reference numbers should be given in square brackets in the text. Acknowledgements should be kept to a minimum.
Tables:
- Data Tables should be submitted in Microsoft Excel or in Microsoft Word table format.

- Tables should be given on separate pages with indications on the left hand margin to the text, as to the appropriate placement of the tables.
- Tables should not contain vertical rules.
- Columns and rows of data should be made visibly distinct by ensuring the borders of each cell display as black lines.
- Tables should be numbered consecutively in order of their citation in the body of the text, with Arabic numerals.
- If a reference is cited in both the table and text, insert a lettered footnote in the table to refer to the numbered reference in the text.
- Tabular data provided as additional files can be submitted as an Excel spreadsheet.

For online submission, please provide your complete manuscript in the form of a single zipped folder containing all the material (main text, figures/ illustrations, scanned photographs, tables, chemical structures drawn in ChemDraw) as separate files and a PDF version of the entire manuscript with all the figures/ illustrations / tables / chemical structures etc., embedded in the text exactly in the manner as they should appear in printing.
Authors are required to proofread the PDF version of their manuscript before submission. The article will be published exactly as received and the Publishers will not be responsible for any error occurring in the manuscript in this regard.
For online submission of manuscripts, these should be submitted via our online manuscript submission service available at www.bentham-mps.org.
You may, however, still submit your abstracts and manuscripts through conventional surface mail.
