• Motivation
• Clarity
• Referencing
• Scope of manuscript
• How is it different from others?
• Outcome
Abstract and Conclusion
• This should be informative and suitable for direct inclusion in
abstracting services as a self-contained article.
• It should not exceed 200 words.
• It should indicate the general scope and also state the main results
obtained, methods used, the value of the work and the conclusions
drawn.
• No figure numbers, table numbers, references or displayed
mathematical expressions should be included.
Best Manusript checklist
• Originality: is the work scientifically rigorous, accurate and novel?
• Does the work contain significant additional material to that already
published?
• Has its value been demonstrated?
• Ithenticate crosscheck software
• Multiple submissions - Rejection
• Reject manuscripts found to contain duplication of previously
published work.
• Proof correction and resubmission timely
..contd
• Motivation: does the problem considered have a sound motivation?
• Does the paper clearly demonstrate the scientific interest of the results?
• Referencing: has reference been made to the most recent and most
appropriate work?
• Is the present work set in the context of the previous work?
• Clarity: is the English clear and well written?
• Poorly written English may obscure the scientific merit of your paper.
• Are the ideas expressed clearly and concisely?
• Are the concepts understandable?
Different forms of Articles
• Regular paper
• Short paper
• Letters
• Note
• Monograph
• Book chapter
• Survey article
Key points
• The distinction between regular papers and brief papers is not one of
quality, but of nature.
• Normally, a brief paper will have one main point to make, which can
be done succinctly and clearly, whereas a regular paper will be a more
detailed and in-depth treatment of a problem area.
• High visibility, Proven Trust, High Quality
• Powerful innovation, wide choice

the flow of your paper's argument should form a separate Appendix
section.
• Do not, however, use appendices to lengthen your article
unnecessarily.
• If the material can be found in another work, cite this work rather
than reproduce it.
