English is the official language of the journal. Original Research Articles not previously published and not being considered for publication elsewhere only should be submitted. Corresponding authors must be declared that the manuscript is submitted on behalf of all authors. Copyright belongs to the publisher upon acceptance of the manuscript. Rejected manuscript will not be returned to the authors. Submission of a manuscript signifies acceptance of journal's guidelines for authors.

Manuscript Preparation

1. Original Research Paper

Papers should be in English and be prepared in A4 (8.27" X 11.69") page size, using standard fonts with size of 12, with double-spacing, and margins of at least 1" (2.5cm) all around. All pages numbered starting from the title page. Lines should be numbered in the margins with a continuous numbering from the start of the manuscript. Times New Roman fonts must be used and remain uniform throughout the text. The authors must strictly adhere to the proper format of the Journal for all sections of the manuscript; refer to papers in recent issues for the general layout of the paper and also for details. For authors whose native language is not English, the STAR Journal strongly recommends brushing up the English of the manuscript by consulting an English-speaking scientist before submission to avoid delays in receiving and processing of the manuscript.

A research paper typically should include in the following order

1. Title

2. Abstract and Keywords

3. Introduction

4. Materials and Methods

5. Results

6. Discussion

7. Conclusion

8. Acknowledgements (If any)

9. References

10. Tables and/or Figures

1. Title page

First page should include the complete title of the manuscript, full names of all authors, their

affiliations and addresses and the name and E- mail address of the corresponding author.

Title should be in Title Case with font size 14 (Bold) and the first character in each word in the title has to be capitalized (title should be centered). First name or Given name of the authors should be mentioned followed by initial for father name or family name. Affiliation for the authors should be mentioned (Except Position of the authors)

2. Abstract and keywords

Always second page should contain Abstract and Keywords. Abstract (not more than 300 words) presented in a concise form and including the purpose, methods, Results, and conclusions of the research described in the paper. A list of 3 to 5 keywords or short phrases suitable for indexing should be typed at the bottom of the abstract page. Avoid vague or overly general terms. If necessary, the keywords will be adjusted to the standards of the Journal by the editors without consulting the authors.

3. Introduction

State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Description of the research area, pertinent background information, and the hypotheses tested in the study should be included under should provide sufficient background information such that a scientifically literate reader can understand and appreciate the experiments introduction must include in-text citations including references to pertinent reviews and primary scientific literature. The specific aims identified along with a rationale for the specific experiments and other work performed.

4. Material and methods

Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. It should include explicit, concise descriptions of all new methods or procedures employed. Commonly used methods require only a citation of the original source. The description should be such that the reader can judge the accuracy, reproducibility, reliability, etc. of the work. The statistical tool used to analyze the data should be mentioned. In case of Experimental animals or human subjects must accompany with statement on necessary ethical approval from appropriate ethical committee.

Statistics

Whenever possible quantify findings and present them with appropriate indicators of measurement error or uncertainty (such as confidence intervals). When data are

summarized in the results section, specify the statistical methods used to analyze them. Terms in statistics, such as 'random' (which implies a randomizing device), 'normal', 'significant', 'correlations', and 'sample'. Define statistical terms, Specify the computer software used. Use upper italics (p> 0.048). For all p values include the exact value and not less than 0.05 or 0.001.

5. Results

Results should be clear and concise. Results should include experimental data but not extended discussions of its relative significance. Results are more easily grasped by readers if they are presented in graphic or tabular form rather than discursively. Data should not be repeated in the text, Tables, and Figures.

5). Discussion

This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature. This section should relate the results section to current understanding of the scientific problems being investigated in the field. Description other work/s in the field should be included here. This section also allows you to discuss the significance of your results. This section should end with new answers/questions that arise as a result of your work. Speculation is to be based on data only; be concise and clear. Lengthy discussions will necessarily mean a delay in accepting manuscripts for publication. The text should be written with a logical connection between the introduction and conclusions.

7. Conclusions

The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.

7. Acknowledgements

This is a brief section crediting the people who have helped make your manuscript possible and who aided you in your work but are mention all applicable grants and other funding that supported your work. Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the article, etc.).

7. References

Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and

personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication date with "Unpublished results". "Personal communication" will not be accepted as a reference. Citation of a reference as "in press" implies that the item has been accepted for publication.
