Journal article originally in foreign language:

Note that only the first page number is given. The article title is not given. If each issue of a

journal begins on page 1, the issue number must also be included in brackets directly after the

volume number, e.g., 125(3). In other cases, the issue numbers should not be included (and

should be deleted if they are present). Some journals do not use volume numbers. A common

journal encountered without volume numbers is Chem. Commun., which did not publish volume

numbers before 2010. It is only necessary to provide a volume number for Chem. Commun. if it is

missing for papers published after 2010.

AQ for issue number: The journal style is to provide issue number for journal type references

only if each issue of the journal begins on page 1. In other cases, the issue numbers should not be

included (and should be deleted if they are present).

For this article, where page numbers were four-digit and above numerals, we have deleted the

issue number. Please check the others and delete issue numbers if not required as per style.
Reference citation style:

Superscript Arabic numerals within square brackets, comma separators, no space after comma, en

dash in range

The citation always comes directly after any punctuation.

References should be numbered consequently with Arabic numbers in the order in which they are

cited

text,[1]…

text.[2]

text.[40–45]

text.[38,39]

If references appear on the line, please check whether the sentence can be reworded in such a way that it

can be superscripted. For example:

Original: Application of such polymers in photovoltaics has been reviewed in ref. [19].

Amended: Application of such polymers in photovoltaics has been reviewed by Wang et al.[19]

Application of such polymers in photovoltaics has been reviewed.[19]

It may not always be possible to amend the sentence.

Calendar, Reviewers list, Announcements, Forthcoming, Call for papers, In this issue etc.

APPENDICES
Example: Optional

If present, appears at the end of the article, i.e. after How to Cite.

Example:

APPENDIX

SENSOR CALIBRATION

Notes:

 The heading APPENDIX in CAPS; every Appendix should have a title in CAPS
  Headings inside Appendix should be in sentence case.

 If only one Appendix, label it as Appendix only

 If more than one Appendix, label each Appendix with a capital letter

 If Tables/Figures are included in an Appendix, provide Table A1, Table A2, Table B1,

Table B2..., Figure A1, Figure A2

 Display equations in Appendix text designated as A1, A2, B1, B2...

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Technical styles

Sources of Materials:

(Tylenol; Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, NJ)

(Manufacturer, City, Country)

Notes:

 Retain the manufacturer location only if supplied. Query need not be raised for location.

But raise query for missing manufacturer names. Please refer the screenshot below.

 Do not provide country name for USA. Abbreviate US states

Numbered rule:

Use numerals to express:

• numbers 10 and above (e.g., 12 cm wide)

• numbers that immediately precede a unit of measurement (e.g., a 5-mg dose)
• numbers that represent statistical or mathematical functions (e.g., multiplied by 5)
• numbers that represent time, dates, ages, scores and points on a scale, exact sums of
money, and numerals as numerals (e.g., 1 hr 34 min)
• numbers that denote a specific place in a numbered series (e.g., row 5)

Use words to express:

• numbers zero to nine

• any number that begins a sentence, title, or text heading
• common fractions (e.g., one fifth of the class)
• universally accepted usage (e.g., the Twelve Apostles)

Use a combination of numerals and words to express back-to-back modifiers:

• 2 two-way interactions
• ten 7-point scale

Ordinal numbers:

• Second-order factor
• The fourth graders
• The first item of the 75th trial
• The first and third groups
• Spell out ordinal that appears before a numeral

Decimal fractions:

• Use a zero before the decimal point with numbers that are less than 1 when the statistic
can exceed 1.
• 0.23 cm
• Cohen’s d = 0.70
• 0.48 s
•
• Do not use a zero before a decimal fraction when the statistic cannot be greater than 1
(e.g., correlations, proportions, and levels of statistical significance: p, beta, alpha).
• r(24) = –.43
• p = .028
Thousand separator:

 commas; 1,000, 10,000, 100,000; exceptions: page numbers, binary digits, temperature,

acoustic frequency (2000 Hz), degrees of freedom, 4,9000.07444.

 Fold words: twofold, 10-fold.

Units of measure

 Time: hour → hr; minute → min; second → s; millisecond → ms; nanosecond → ns; day

→ day; year → year; week → week; month → month.

 Volume: Liter for standalone → L (always). But lowercase “l” for ml, dl, etc. For

example: 5 L and 6 ml

 Temperature: 3–4°C (degrees celsius, no space before °C)

 Percentage: % symbol (50 and 60%; 40–50%).

 Repetition of units: Do not repeat units

 Range: Use en dash

 Measures of currency: $55.60

Dashes, commas, brackets

 Hyphen: Use en dash for equal weightage

 Use hyphen for adjectival units: 4.6-cm long, a 7-kg weight

 Use emdash for parenthetical dash.

 Brackets: ([])

 Exception: Do not use brackets if the material can be set off easily with commas without

confounding meaning

 For Equations: Use ( ) first, then [( )], and finally {[( )]}

Quotation marks, punctuations

  Use double quotes and single quote inside double quotes.

 Punctuation: inside quotes.

 e.g.: [,”] [.”] [”?] [”:]

 Extract: Set the text in roman without quotation marks (The period comes at the end of

the quotation, not after the parenthesis). For example, xxxxx. (p. 173)

 Refer APA style guide (Sections 6.03, 6.04, 6.05) for detailed quote styles

 Do use double quotation marks to enclose any quoted material within a block quotation.

Genus/Species

 Italics style.

 ‘Mycobacterium avium’ (Genus species) in article title, at first mention in Abstract, main

text, but ‘M. avium’ thereafter.

Time & dates

 Date: April 18, 1992

 Time: 8:30 p.m., 12:30 a.m.

Genes/proteins

 Genes italic, proteins roman.

Abbreviations need not redefine

 IQ; REM; ESP; AIDS; HIV; NADP; ACTH

General styles

Use solidus/slash for 2 units: (e.g., 2 mg/mL), but use negative indices for more than 2 units (2

nmol hr1 mg1)
When reporting confidence intervals, use the format 95% CI [LL, UL], where LL is the lower

limit of the confidence interval and UL is the upper limit.

When a sequence of confidence intervals is repeated in a series or within the same paragraph and

the level of confidence (e.g., 95%) has remained unchanged, and the meaning is clear, no need to

repeat the 95% CI. Every report of a confidence interval must clearly state the level of

confidence. A sentence might then read, in part, 95% CIs [5.62, 8.31], [−2.43, 4.31], and [−4.29,

−3.11], respectively.

When a confidence interval follows reporting of a point estimate, the units of measurement

should not be repeated:

M = 30.5 cm, 99% CI [18.0, 43.0]

(See APA Manual of Style, 6th edition, section 4.44.)

Use the following standard Latin abbreviations only in parenthetical material; in nonparenthetical

material, use the English translation of the Latin terms; in both cases, include the correct

punctuation that accompanies the term:

cf. compare i.e., that is,

e.g., for example, viz., namely,

, etc., and so forth vs. versus, against

N: Total number of units in the sample under study (N = 127)

n: number of units in a subgroup of the sample under study (n = 38)

Set Latin terms in roman

Italics is used for emphasis and anchors of a scale

Mann–Whitney U test, Student’s t test

Paired t test (no hyphen after t), but t-test results

SD, SE, SEM (need not be spelled out in first instance)

wt/vol, vol/vol, vol%, wt%, mmHg

Magnification: ×600

Molar M in caps (e.g., 3 M, 5 mM)

Do not use periods for abbreviations for routes of administration (icv, im, ip, iv, sc)

The abbreviation for inch (in.) takes a period because without the period it could be misread.
