Instruction For Authors

Manuscript Submission

When a manuscript is submitted, it indicates that the work has never been published before, that it is not being considered for publication anywhere else, and that the responsible authorities at the institute where the work was conducted, whether explicitly or implicitly, have approved its publication along with any co-authors that may have contributed. Should any claims arise, the publisher will not be held legally liable.

Permissions

The copyright owner(s) must provide permission for both print and online formats, and authors must provide proof of permission when submitting their papers if they want to include figures, tables, or text sections that have already been published elsewhere. Without such proof, all information supplied will be taken to be from the authors.

Online Submission

In case of any difficulties in uploading the files, please contact, writetous@sapars.co.in

Source Files

At each submission and revision, please make sure you include all pertinent editable source files. Your article will not be considered for review if you do not supply a complete set of editable source files

The title page should contain the below information:

Only for journals in the life sciences (where appropriate)
For trials that are prospectively registered, the trial registration number and registration date is required.
For trials that are retrospectively registered, the trial registration number and registration date are followed by "retrospectively registered."

Keywords

Please provide 4 to 6 keywords.

Text Formatting

Manuscripts should be submitted in Word

  • For text, choose a standard, plain font (such as Times Roman, 10 points).
  • For emphasis, use italics.
  • To number the pages, use the automatic page numbering feature.
  • Instead of using the space bar for indents, use tab stops or other instructions.
  • To create tables, use the table function rather than spreadsheets.
  • For equations, use MathType or the equation editor.
  • Save your file in either doc format (previous versions of Word) or docx format (Word 2007 or later).

Headings

Please use the decimal system of headings with no more than three levels.

Abbreviations

Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.

Footnotes

A reference that is listed in the reference list may be cited in a footnote, which is another way to provide extra information. The bibliographic information of a reference should never be included, nor should they only contain a reference citation. Additionally, they must not include any tables or figures.
Sequential numbers are used for footnotes to the text, while superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data) should be used to denote footnotes to tables. There are no reference symbols provided for the article's authors or title footnotes. Instead of using endnotes, always use footnotes.
Weblinks shouldn't be included in footnotes either. Links ought to be incorporated into the list of references

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgements of individuals, awards, finances, should be in a different section. Funding organizations' names must be written in full.

Line Numbers

Please submit your manuscript with line numbering.

References

Citation

Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. Some examples:

  • Negotiation research spans many disciplines (Thompson 1990).
  • This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman (1996).
  • This effect has been widely studied (Abbott 1991; Barakat et al. 1995a, b; Kelso and Smith 1998; Medvec et al. 1999, 2000).

Reference list

The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text.
Please follow the APA reference style (7th edition). For details, please refer, https://apastyle.apa.org/instructional-aids/reference-examples.pdf

Statements & Declarations

The following statements must be included in your submitted manuscript under the heading 'Statements and Declarations'. This should be placed after the References section. Please note that submissions that do not include required statements will be returned as incomplete.

Funding

Please provide a description of any funding sources used to support the endeavor. Any grant information should be included in the statement (please provide the grant number and the name of the funding agency).
Example statements:
“This work was supported by […] (Grant numbers […] and […]). Author A.B. has received research support from Company A.”
“The authors declare that no funds, grants, or other support were received during the preparation of this manuscript"

Competing Interests

Any financial or non-financial interests that are directly or indirectly connected to the work that has been submitted for publication must be disclosed by the authors. Reporting interests should be done within the last three years of starting the work (doing the research and getting the paper ready for submission).

Author Contributions

It is recommended that authors add a statement outlining each author's specific contribution to the manuscript's preparation and research.

Tables

Arabic numerals must be used to number each table.
In the text, tables must always be referenced in sequential numerical sequence.
Please provide a table caption (title) for each table that explains its elements.
Provide the original source as a reference at the conclusion of the table caption to identify any previously published content.
Table footnotes should be beneath the table body and be denoted by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data).

Artwork and Illustrations Guidelines

Provide all numbers in an electronic format.
Name the graphics application that was used to produce the artwork.
Please use the TIFF format for halftones; EPS is the preferable file for vector drawings. Microsoft Office files can also be used.
Fonts used in vector graphics must be included within the files.
Use "Fig" and the figure number to name your figure files, such as Fig1.eps.

Figure Numbering

Arabic numerals must be used to number each figure.
In the text, figures must always be cited in sequential numerical sequence.
Lowercase letters (a, b, c, etc.) should be used to indicate the various parts of the figure.
Continue numbering the main text consecutively if your article has an appendix with one or more figures.
The appendix figures should not be numbered "A1, A2, A3, etc." However, figures should be numbered independently in online appendices [Supplementary Information (SI)].

Figure Captions

A brief caption that accurately describes what the figure denotes should be included with every figure.
Put the captions in the manuscript's text file rather than the figure file.
Figure captions start with the word "Fig." in bold type, then the figure number, which is likewise bolded.
There should not be any punctuation at the end of the caption or following the number.
Use boxes, circles, and other shapes as coordinate points in graphs, and list all of the elements in the figure in the figure caption.
At the end of the figure caption, provide a reference back to the original source to identify previously published content.

Figure Placement and Size

Figures ought to be included in the text's body. Large figures should only be provided separately from the text if the manuscript's file size makes downloading it difficult.
Make sure your figures are the right size to fit within the column width

Permissions

For both the print and web formats, you must get permission from the copyright owner or owners if you use figures that have previously been published elsewhere. Please be advised that we will not be able to reimburse any expenses incurred in order to get these licenses, as some publishers do not provide electronic rights for free. Other sources of information should be used in these situations.

Generative AI Images

The images should be original and should not be AI generated. If you have generated any image using AI tools, please declare it in the manuscript.

Supplementary Information

Electronic multimedia materials (such as animations, movies, audio, etc.) and other supplemental items can be submitted to Scientiarum: A multidisciplinary journal for online publication alongside an article or book chapter. Because certain information cannot be printed or is more handy in electronic form, this feature can give the author's essay more depth.
Authors should review the journal's research data policy before submitting research datasets as Supplementary Information. Every effort should be made to archive research data in data repositories.
No changes, reformatting, or conversion will be made to Supplementary Information (SI) once it has been received from the author.
