Guidelines for Preparing Full Papers

Full Papers of all contributions to the Seminar will be published and also made available on the NIE website at the earliest after the Seminar.

The manuscripts should be prepared using only MS Word 2003 or Word 2007.

Follow a standard layout: A-4 size, minimum 2.5 cm margin on all the four sides, and 1.5 line spacing. The text should be carefully checked for typographical errors, especially numerals.

The title page should comprise: full title of the paper, initials and surname of author(s), name of the laboratory where the work was carried out, and complete postal address. Please add Telephone numbers and Email IDs.

The abstract should include sufficient information on the objectives, study area, methods, results and major conclusions. It should not exceed 200 words. Add 6 to 10 key words, not repeated from the title of the paper, after the Abstract.

All acknowledgements should be put at the end before References. Footnotes should NOT be used.

The main text of the paper should be reasonably subdivided into sections and subsections. No part of the manuscript should be underlined except the Latin names of organisms. No word or phrase should be abbreviated. Do not number the sections.

Each table should be prepared on a separate page. Number the tables consecutively with Arabic numerals. Each table should be provided a short title. Only metric units (S.I. Units) should be used.

All illustrations and photographs should be referred to in the text as figure, and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. All figures should be provided a detailed caption and all captions should be placed together on a separate page.

All figures (Line drawings or Photographs) should be submitted as separate graphic files (JPG).

References should be cited in the text by the author's name and year only, and all cited references should be listed at the end in alphabetical order under the first author's name. Include the names of all authors/editors, full title of the paper, full title of the journal, and the name and place of the publisher, and total number of pages in case of books, collective volumes and proceedings, thesis, report etc.

Full papers should be submitted before 30 April 2012, by email to ciwsa.nie@gmail.com.
