COVERING LETTER: It is a mandatory
requirement that a signed covering letter also be submitted
along with the manuscript by the author to whom correspondence
is to be addressed, delineating the scope of the submitted
article declaring the potential competing interests, acknowledging
contributions from authors and funding agencies, and certifying
that the paper is prepared according to the 'Instructions
for Authors'. All inconsistencies in
the text and in the reference section, and any typographical
errors must be carefully checked and corrected before the
submission of the manuscript. The
article contains no such material or information that
may be unlawful, defamatory, fabricated, plagiarized, or
which would, if published, in any way whatsoever, violate
the terms and conditions as laid down in the agreement. The
authors acknowledge that the publishers have the legal
right to take appropriate action against the authors for
any such violation of the terms and conditions as laid down
in the agreement. Download
the Covering letter
TITLE: The title should be precise and
brief and must not be more than 120 characters. Authors
should avoid the use of non standard abbreviations. The
title must be written in title case except for articles,
conjunctions and prepositions.
Authors should also provide a short ‘running title’.
ABSTRACT: The abstract should not exceed 250 words
for review and research papers and should be limited to
only 50 words for letters, summarizing the essential features
of the article. The use of abbreviations should be reduced
to a minimum and the references should not be cited in the
abstract.
KEYWORDS: Provide 6 to 8 keywords in alphabetical
order.
TEXT ORGANIZATION: The main text should begin on
a separate page and should be divided into separate sections.
For Research articles, the preparation of the main text
must be structured into separate sections as Introduction,
Materials and Methodology, Results, Discussion and Conclusion.
For Review and Letter articles, the manuscript should be
divided into title page, abstract and the main text. The
text may be subdivided further according to the areas to
be discussed, which should be followed by the Acknowledgement
(if any) and Reference 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 a previous review.
Symbols and Units: Greek symbols and special
characters play a prominent role in the manuscript. These
symbols often undergo formatting changes and get corrupted
or lost during preparation of a manuscript for publication.
To ensure that all special characters used are embedded
in the text, these special characters should be inserted
as a symbol but should not be a result of any format styling
(Symbol font face) otherwise they will be lost
during conversion to PDF/XML.2
Authors are encouraged to consult reporting guidelines.
These guidelines provide a set of recommendations comprising
a list of items relevant to their specific research design.
All kinds of measurements should be reported only in International
System of Units (SI).
Equations and Mathematical Expressions:
1. Avoid the use of built-up fractions in the text.
If not avoided by the author(s), built-up fractions will
be converted to equivalent expressions on the line when
the paper is copyedited. In display matter, however, built-up
fractions are preferred for clarity.
2. Avoid the use of small-type mathematical expressions
centered above or below arrows. If possible, try to use
an alternative format.
3. In the exponential function, avoid exponents having more
than one or two characters.
4. Avoid the use of reference numbers for equations that
are not subsequently referred to in the paper. Costs are
reduced if short mathematical equations and other expressions
in the text are run in (instead of each being displayed
on a separate line). Authors must expect that, when accepted
papers are copyedited, "excess" equation reference
numbers will be deleted and short equations will be run
in with text.
5. Be sure to indicate special marking for symbols (e.g.,
italics, boldface) and clearly identify any unusual symbols.
Try to avoid underscored symbols because they often require
hand composition and opening up lines and thus are expensive.
In vector notations, indicate which letters or notations,
if any, may be set in boldface type. Indicate if asterisks
are to be set in superscript position or centered on the
line.
6. All equations should be indented and numbered
as follows: (1)
7. Equation number should be right justified. Put three
dots(...) midway between the end of the equation and the
equation number.
8. Punctuation should not be used at the end of an equation.
9. Particular care should be taken to distinguish between
the number zero (0) and the letter O; the number one (1)
and the letter l, the Roman letter v and the Greek letter
nu (n). The decimal logarithm should be written "log"
and the natural log "ln". The abbreviation of
the exponential function is a roman e (for example, ex
) or exp (for example, exp (u2
+ n)). In expressions of the type dxdt, the letter
d (derivative function) is always written in roman, whereas
the physical parameter (x or t) is always in italics.
Numbers are written in numerals when they are followed by
units, these being represented by their SI symbols (10 %
but a few percent).
10. In numerals, each group of three letters should be separated
by a space (except for dates and postal codes).
11. Authors should provide the equations in *TeX/LaTeX file
format separately as well as embedded in the manuscript.
Mathematical Symbols:
Mathematical symbols must be defined immediately where they
are introduced.
Characters:
Character fonts:
The italic font should be used for mathematical
symbols (this is the default font in *TeX/LaTeX’s
math mode). In addition to variables and constants, the
italic font should be used for particle symbols, symbols
of quantum states, and group theoretic designations.
Diacritical signs:
A diacritical sign is a marking placed directly
above or below symbols, e.g., the arrow in
.
Subscripts and superscripts:
All available characters can be used as subscripts
or superscripts.
Position of a subscript or superscript is dictated by standard
notation.
Examples:
Abbreviations in math:
Some abbreviations, such as those for mathematical
functions and those used in superscripts or subscripts require
special handling and are discussed below.
Abbreviations designating mathematical functions:
•Roman multiletter abbreviations must be
closed up to the argument following and separated from any
preceding symbol by a thin space, that is,
• To treat a function of a function enclose it in
bold round parentheses, i.e.,
g(f(x))
• e and exp (for exponent) notation
The e form is appropriate when the argument is short and simple,
i.e., eik·r, whereas exp should be used if the
argument is more complicated.
Equation numbering:
A principal equation and subordinate equations may
be numbered (1), (1a), (1b), etc.
Bracketing and Grouping sequence:
For the purpose of grouping, the sequence of bracketing
preferred is {[()]}, working outwards in sets ( ), [ ], and
{}.
{ [ ( { [ ( ) ] } ) ] }
Limits and indices:
In text, however, space limitations require that single limit
sums or integrals use subscripts and superscripts, for example
Fractions:
Fractions can be “built up” with a fraction bar,
(a + b)/c, “slashed” with a solidus, (a
+ b)/c, or written with a negative exponent, (a + b)c-1.
In text all fractions must be either slashed or written with
a negative exponent.
Multiplication signs:
The primary use of the multiplication sign is to indicate
a vector product of three-vectors (e.g., k x A).
Do not use it to express a simple product.
The center dot (•) should not be used to mean a simple
product. Use the dot to represent inner products of vectors
(k • r).
Mathematical terms:
The use of the following standard symbols is recommended.
LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS: If abbreviations are
used in the text either they should be defined in the text
where first used, or a list of abbreviations can be provided.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST: Financial contributions to
the work being reported should be clearly acknowledged, as
should any potential conflict of interest.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: Please acknowledge anyone
(individual/company/institution) who has contributed to the
study by making substantial contributions to conception, design,
acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data,
or who was involved in drafting the manuscript or revising
it critically for important intellectual content. Please list
the source(s) of funding for the study, for each author, and
for the manuscript preparation in the acknowledgements section.
REFERENCES: References must be listed in the numerical
system (Vancouver). All references should be numbered sequentially
[in square brackets] in the text and listed in the same numerical
order in the reference section. The reference numbers must
be finalized and the bibliography must be fully formatted
before submission.

E-citations:
[9] Citations for articles/material published exclusively
online or in open access (free-to-view), must contain the
exact Web addresses (URLs) at the end of the reference(s),
except those posted on an author’s Web site unless editorially
essential, e.g. ‘Reference: Available from: URL’.
Some important points to remember:
*All references must be complete and accurate.
*If the number of authors exceeds six then et al.
will be used after three names (the term “et al.”
should be in italics).
*Online citations should include the date of access.
*Journal abbreviations should follow the Index Medicus/MEDLINE.
*Take special care of the punctuation convention as described
in the above-mentioned examples.
*Avoid using superscript in the in-text citations and reference
section.
*Abstracts, unpublished data and personal communications
(which can only be included if prior permission has been
obtained) should not be given in the reference section but
they may be mentioned in the text and details provided as
footnotes.
*The authors are encouraged to use a recent version of EndNote
(version 5 and above) or Reference Manager (version 10)
when formatting their reference list, as this allows references
to be automatically extracted.
APPENDICES: In case there is a need to
present lengthy, but essential methodological details, use
appendixes, which can be a part of the article. An appendix
must not exceed three pages (Times New Roman, 12 point fonts,
900 max. words per page).The information should be provided
in a condensed form, ruling out the need of full sentences.
A single appendix should be titled APPENDIX, while more
than one can be titled APPENDIX A, APPENDIX B, and so on.
FIGURES/ILLUSTRATIONS: The authors should provide
the illustrations as separate files, as well as embedded
in the text file, numbered consecutively in the order of
their appearance. Each figure should include a single illustration.
No charges will be levied on the use of color figures except
in the reprints. Each figure should be closely cropped to
minimize the amount of white space surrounding the illustration.
If a figure consists of separate parts, it is important
that a single composite illustration file be submitted,
containing all parts of the figure.
Photographs should be provided with a scale bar if appropriate,
as well as high-resolution component files.
Scaling/Resolution:
For Line Art image type, which is generally an
image based on lines and text and does not contain tonal
or shaded areas, the preferred file format is TIFF or EPS,
with colour mode being Monochrome 1-bit or RGB, in a resolution
of 900-1200 dpi.
For Halftone image type, which is generally a continuous
tone photograph and contains no text, the preferred file
format is TIFF, with colour mode being or RGB or Grayscale,
with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
For Combination image type, which is generally an image
containing halftone in addition to text or line art elements,
the preferred file format is TIFF, with colour mode being
or RGB or Grayscale, in a resolution of 500-900 dpi.
Formats:
For illustrations, the following file formats are
acceptable:
• Illustrator
• EPS (preferred format for diagrams)
• PDF (also especially suitable for
diagrams)
• PNG (preferred format for photos
or images)
• Microsoft Word (version 5 and above;
figures must be a single page)
• PowerPoint (figures must be a single
page)
• TIFF
• JPEG (conversion should be done
using the original file)
• BMP
• CDX (ChemDraw)
• TGF (ISIS/Draw)
Bentham OPEN does not process figures submitted
in GIF format.
If the large size of TIFF or EPS figures acts as an obstacle
to online submission, authors may find that conversion to
JPEG format before submission results in significantly reduced
file size and upload time, while retaining acceptable quality.
JPEG is a 'lossy' format, however. In order to maintain
acceptable image quality, it is recommended that JPEG files
are saved at High or Maximum quality.
Files should not be compressed with tools such as Zipit
or Stuffit prior to submission as these tools will in any
case produce negligible file-size savings for JPEGs and
TIFFs, which are already compressed.
Image Conversion Tools:
There are many software packages, many of them
freeware or shareware, capable of converting to and from
different graphics formats, including PNG.
Good general tools for image conversion include GraphicConverter
on the Macintosh, PaintShop Pro, for Windows, and ImageMagick,
which is available on Macintosh, Windows and UNIX platforms.
Note that bitmap images (e.g. screenshots) should not be
converted to EPS, since this will result in a much larger
file size than the equivalent JPEG, TIFF, PNG or BMP, with
no increase in the quality. EPS should only be used for
images produced by vector-drawing applications such as Adobe
Illustrator or CorelDraw. Most vector-drawing applications
can be saved in, or exported as, EPS format. In case the
images have been originally prepared in an Office application,
such as Word or PowerPoint, then the original Office files
should be directly uploaded to the site, instead of being
converted to JPEG or another format that may be of low quality.
Chemical Structures: Chemical structures MUST be
prepared according to the guidelines below.
Structures should be prepared in ChemDraw and provided as
separate file, submitted both on disk and in printed formats.
