Author Guidelines

The journal would publish the articles which are:

  • Original, novel and add significantly to research already published.
  • Interest to the community.
  • Not been published previously are not under consideration for publication in any other journal or book available through a library or by purchase.
  • Encompasses of our journal aim and scope.

Articles based on thesis for higher degrees can also be submitted, although authors should take care that such articles are prepared in the format of a research paper, which is more succinct and is appropriate for a thesis. Articles presented at conferences may also be submitted, provided these articles do not appear in substantially the same form in a published conference proceeding.

How to prepare your article

The article should normally consist of the following titles:

  • A title page with title of article, name(s) of author(s) and address(es) of establishment(s) where the work was carried out
  • an abstract
  • Keywords
  • the text
  • figures
  • Tables
  • References

(iii) No manuscript should ordinarily exceed 40 typed pages including graphs, tables and appendices.

(iv) The cover page of the manuscript must contain the title of the paper, author's name, mailing address, email address, professional affiliation (if different from the mailing address), and acknowledgements, if any. The first page of the paper must also provide the title of the paper but it should not give the author's name and address.

(v) Every manuscript must include a 100-150 word abstract and 4-6 key words.
