Types of Articles

The journal welcomes submission of full-length research articles, review articles, case report and critical analysis articles.

Manuscript Preparation

Manuscripts submitted to our journals must be written in English. Papers accepted for publication vary from 5 to 20 pages in one column format (at least 3000 words but no more than 10000 words, inclusive of references). The main text usually can be divided into separated sections, organized by Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgement, Conflict of Interest, Appendix and Reference.

Figures/Tables should be submitted separately without embedding them in the text to facilitate the revision process

Paper Title

A title of no more than 20 words should be brief, specific, and informative.

Author Details

Full name for all authors should be given; The names of multiple authors are separated by a comma; Provide the full affiliation for each author including academic affiliation (or postal address), city, postcode, country, e-mail(optional); If multiple authors have contributed to the article, details of the corresponding author should be clear. Email address is compulsory for the corresponding author.

Abstract

The abstract should be written as a continuous paragraph with 200-350 words and recapitulatively state the background of the research, purpose, methodologies, principal results, major conclusions and its contributions to the field. It should emphasize new or important aspects of the study. Research limitations/implications, practical implications, and social implications should also be included, if relevant to your manuscripts.

Keywords

3-10 keywords which can accurately reflect the theme of the article should be included for indexing.

Introduction

The Introduction should briefly indicate the objectives of the study and provide enough background information to clarify why the study was undertaken and what hypotheses were tested.

Materials and Methods

Present the research design, research type, research duration, inclusion/exclusion criteria, choice of subjects, etc. Describe the methodology completely, including sample collection, processing, lab analysis, statistical tests used for data analysis etc. Use section headings/subheadings in a logical order to entitle each category or method . (e.g. 1, 2; 1.1, 2.1; 1.1.1, 2.1.1…etc)

Results

Results should be presented in a logical sequence in the text, tables and figures. Repetitive presentation of the same data in tables and figures should be avoided. The results should not contain material appropriate to the Discussion. All tables, graphs, statistical analyses and sample calculations should be presented in this section.

Discussion

Provide an interpretation of your results and make comparisons with other studies. The significance of findings should be clearly described. If your results differ from your expectations, explain why that may have happened. If your results agree, then describe the theory that the evidence supported.

Conclusion

The main conclusions of the experimental work should be presented. The contribution of the work to the scientific research and its economic implications should be emphasized.

Acknowledgements

The acknowledgements section is where you may wish to thank people indirectly involved with the research (e.g., technical support; loans of experimental facilities; comments or suggestions during the creation of the manuscript). However, it is important that anyone listed here knows in advance of your acknowledgement of their contributions. Do not include dedications.

Funding Information

The authors should acknowledge the funders of this manuscript and provide all necessary funding information.

Author Contributions

Authors are required to include a statement of responsibility in the manuscript that specifies the contribution of every author. The level of detail varies; some disciplines produce manuscripts that comprise discrete efforts readily articulated in detail, whereas other fields operate as group efforts at all stages.

Conflict of Interest

A conflict of interest exists when judgment regarding the research is influenced by factors such as financial gain or personal relationships. All authors are required to disclose any financial, personal or other associations that may influence or be perceived to influence, their work.

Appendix

An appendix may be included (and is often helpful) in mathematical or computational modeling.

Tables

Tables should be self-contained and the data should not be duplicated in figures. Tables should be numbered consecutively. Each table should be presented on a separate page with a comprehensive but concise legend above the table. Tables should be double-spaced and vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Column headings should be brief, with units of measurement in parentheses. All abbreviations should be defined in footnotes. Use superscript letters (not numbers) for footnotes and keep footnotes to a minimum. *, **, *** should be reserved for P values.

TABLE Title

Every table must have a unique title placed at the top. Titles should be clear and concise, and they should not be complete sentences.

TABLE Format

Table tools in Microsoft Word are strongly recommended for inserting a table. It’s necessary to avoid tables created with the tab key.

TABLE Numbering & Citation

Tables in the main body of the text should be numbered and cited consecutively according to their appearance in the text.

Figures

Only necessary illustrations should be included. All illustrations (line drawings and photographs) are classified as figures. Figures should be cited in consecutive order in the text. Figures should be sized to fit within the column or the full text width. Line figures should be supplied as sharp, black and white or color diagrams, drawn with a computer graphics package. Photographs should be sharp and magnifications should be indicated on photographs using a scale bar. Graphics should be supplied as high-resolution (at least 300 d.p.i.) electronic files. Digital images supplied as low-resolution cannot be used and will not be accepted. The legend should incorporate definitions of any symbols used and all abbreviations and units of measurement should be explained so that the figure can be understood without reference to the text.

FIGURE Caption

Each figure should have a caption. The caption should be concise and typed separately, not on the figure area; If figures have parts (for example, A and B), make sure all parts are explained in the caption.

FIGURE Numbering & Citation

All figures are to be sequentially numbered with Arabic numerals. Figures should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order.

FIGURE Resolution

Figures must be created at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. For fuzzy or jagged figures, authors are required to replace it or send the original figure file to us for reproduction.

Equations

Equations should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals to avoid ambiguities, if they will be referred to in text. Citation for an equation should be made by using “(1),” not “Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is…”

EQUATION Format

The equation number should be placed in parentheses to the right of the equation. E.g. Hn+1(1/n+1, 1/n+1, …, 1/n+1) (1); Do not create equations as pictures. Use MathType or insert symbols as normal text.

References

It is the Authors responsibility to ensure that the information in each reference is complete and accurate. Only published and “in press” references should appear in the reference list.

REFERENCES Summary
  1. All sources cited in text must appear in the reference list and all items in the reference list must be cited in text.
  2. All references should be listed numerically in the order they've been cited within the paper. At the beginning of each reference, the bracketed number should be included.
REFERENCES In-Text Citation Format

References are simply cited with the consistent reference number in square brackets. Do not set references number as superscript number. Do not use "Ref. [6]" or "Reference [6]" except at the beginning of a sentence, e.g. "Reference [6] shows …"

A. Single Reference

If the author's name appears in the text, place the reference number immediately after the name. E.g. Peter[10] found an innovative scientific phenomenon.

B. Multiple References

  1. Put two numbers in numerical order and separate them by commas but no spaces. E.g.: [2,3] or [2], [3]
  2. Indicate three or more consecutive reference numbers by using the following format. E.g.: [1], [3], [5]; [1] – [5] or [1, 3, 5]; [1-5]

  • Within 3-4 Weeks

    Peer Review

    The journal employs a double-blind peer review system, which is the most important aspect of the publication process of an article. Each manuscript passing initial screening will be subjected to rigorous and anonymous peer-review by a minimum of 2 peer reviewers. Referees who review a manuscript remain unknown to the authors. The journal’s independent status ensures a submission acceptance rate based on merit and not favor, bias, or personal preference. All the reviewers send the editorial assistant a detailed report with their comments and recommendations on the manuscript. Authors receive reviewers’ comments and recommendations from the editorial assistant and they never enter in contact with reviewers. Usually, reviewers will complete their reviews within 3-4 weeks. The reviewers make a recommendation to accept, revise, or reject a manuscript based on the scientific merit and technical quality of the studies reported.

  • Within 15 working days

    Revision after Peer Review

    Authors are required to revise the manuscripts according to the comments of the reviewers and answer all questions raised by reviewers in a cover letter. Any revisions should be marked out. The revised manuscripts and cover letters are required to be sent to us via email in MS Word or LaTex format within 15 working days. If you are submitting in LaTeX, please convert the files to PDF beforehand (you will also need to send your LaTeX source files together with the PDF). Upon resubmission, the academic editor may choose to return the manuscript to the reviewers for additional review, or may render a decision of accepting, recommending modification or rejecting based on his/her personal expertise.

    Plagiarism

    Plagiarism is considered as a serious offense. All submissions must be original works. The revised manuscripts after peer review will be screened by a plagiarism detection software and we mainly use Turnitin. The author will be required to clarify regarding the plagiarized manuscript within one week if it is found to be suspected of plagiarism during any stages even after publication. Without a reasonable and timely explanation, the manuscript will be automatically rejected or removed from the system. See our Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement for more detailed information.

  • Within 7 working days

    Acceptance Letters

    After the revision process, qualified manuscripts will be accepted for publication. The Acceptance Letters will be sent to the corresponding authors within 7 working days.

    Article Charge Processing

    In an open access model, we promise that readers don’t pay for the subscription fee to access online published articles. For authors, only some fundamental costs like editing, production and peer- review are included to maintain normal operations of our company. These Article Processing Charges(APC) are only used to support publishers to make the published articles freely available to all readers. The payment option in our Online Manuscript Tracking System is disabled by default for each manuscript and it is only enabled when the manuscript has been accepted for publication. In that case, authors do not need to make payment until their manuscripts have been reviewed and accepted for publication. The charge is a flat and single charge without additional costs.

  • Within 3 working days

    Proof Reading

    Proofreading is the final stage of the editing process. SCIPUB will conduct efficient and thorough proofreading process for all the accepted manuscripts. The proofs will be sent to the authors for final confirmation and authors get the chance of checking before publication. Proofs should be checked and returned within 3 days, or they will be regarded as the final version.

  • A Week after Publication

    Publication Notification

    After the article is released on the journal’s website, a publication notification will be sent to the corresponding author with links to the article.

Licence and Permission

Under the premise of legal publishing, the corresponding author is required to grant an exclusive licence to Science Publications on behalf of all authors. If authors may use their own material in other publications, Science Publications must be informed in advance. The request for permission must be made in writing prior to reusing the material.

Once the submitted paper is accepted for publication, authors will be invited to fill in an electronic copyright transfer form. If the form hasn’t been received along with the final revised manuscript, the publication of your manuscript may be postponed.

Manuscripts submitted for publication must be original, previously unpublished, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. If previously published materials written by others have to be used, the copyright-owner’s permission must be obtained prior to submission. The author takes the responsibility for checking whether material submitted is subject to copyright or ownership rights. To avoid delay in publication, it would be better for authors to start obtaining all the permissions as early as possible. If in any doubt about the copyright , apply for permission. SCIPUB Publications cannot publish material from other publications without permission. If any unpermitted material used in the article is found, the article will be rejected or removed from our website, even if it has already been published.
