Greetings and thank you for the kind opportunity given to the journal (Indian Journal of Science and Technology) for possible publication of your esteemed research outcomes. 

It is a great pleasure to showcase them as a GOLD OPEN Publication that can benefit researchers universally. 

I welcome personally and whole heartedly.

Kindly share the following tips with your scholars so that the processing will be easier at our end.

The articles can be put together as Special issue/ Regular issue

We will do our internal review; the revised articles at your end again can be finally uploaded online and the manuscript number generated online can be shared with us.

Now these articles are ready for 1 external blind review online at our end before accepting.

1. You receive the article directly by email from authors
2. You will improve them by formatting and review it.
3. You share those articles to me by email link (wetransfer) along with excel file of tabulation (your assigned article id, title, authors, email, phone)
4. I select suitable articles and put them for review internally at my side; some articles will be rejected at this stage.
5. I send back to you the tentatively accepted articles along with comments for improvement by mail for revision.
6. Now you will instruct the authors/ forward/ send those articles to authors for revision.
7. You collect the revised articles from the authors.
8. You Upload online those articles or instruct authors to do.
9. Share those manuscript numbers to us as a table.
10. We will send those articles further for a single blind review from online (to unknown expert by online automated process). 
11. Acceptance and rejection will be based on the final outcome; one more revision. by author may be needed at that time; rejection will also happen at this stage. 
12. Now fee payment will be intimated to you for those accepted articles.

• Novelty:
• Keywords:

(Abstract must be enriched with quantitative data; not mere statements/ claims)

Author Guidelines 

• Authors need to explain the importance and novelty of the current approach.
• Please include all author names and affiliation in the manuscript; indicate corresponding author’s email and phone number
• The citation should be as per the journal style i.e., numerically increasing order [1], [2], [3] etc (not author name, year) and not as zigzag like [1], [5], [3] and the same way to be listed under reference;
• Kindly insert line numbers
• Enrich your abstract and conclusion with quantitative data along with novel ideas reached.
• The abstract should be brief and should include the following sub-headings :

• Objectives:
• Methods:
• Findings:
• Novelty:
• Keywords:

• Enrich the abstract and conclusion with quantitative/comparative/numerical data in support of your findings (without comparative data or statistical values in this-sections, it will be looked upon as empty statements as readers mostly read abstract and or conclusion only)
• The citation should be as per the journal style i.e., numerically increasing order [1], [2], [3] etc (not author name, year) and the same way to be listed under reference;
• It is preposterous citing many papers in one go [eg., [1,2,3,4,5,etc; instead, choose 1 or 2 most matching/relevant to your topic and most recent among them].
• Introduction should be written in a polished way stitching together the major advancement made in the area and also pin-point the gaps and justify the need for the present study.
• (In other words, the introduction should highlight those recent developments in the area of problem studied and should highlight the gaps and justify why the present work is undertaken; so that the readers will be inspired to look for additional information what the rest of the article is going to offer. The related work should be merged with introduction).
• In Introduction, please omit textbook information; the author’s attempt to make the fundamentals clear to the Readers should be avoided as most readers are experts only wish to know what new information available in the article; introduction should highlight major gaps of the existing literature and also to justify the present work; on this context major milestone works of recent ones (about 10 references from 2024 to 2020) should be highlighted along with their limitations for which your work is going to rectify.

• When similar studies already exist, what new elements are brought out is to be highlighted.
• In other words, introduction should be written in a polished way stitching together the major advancement made in the area and also pin-point the gaps and mention how your work is going to address those issues. It should not be mere narration of the literature.
• “Results and Discussion” Section include a detailed discussion on how and why you were able to achieve better results in comparison to state of the art techniques  already published reports. Your obtained results should be matched with previous publication by comparing and contrasting to exhibit the novelty of your work. Comparative citation of previous work is must.
• (under introduction, the research gaps are identified by exhibiting the works of most related studies; under ‘Results and Discussion’, your results are to be compared with that of the most relevant already published works; this will exhibit the merits of your work)
• Conclusion should highlight the novelty of your work (take home piece of new information) connecting with study objectives; indicate the limitations and future scope.Support your claim with quantitative data
• Under conclusion section, what major knowledge gaps still remain should also be stated; how your results advanced the present understandings when compared to those of previously published results, must be ascertained
• Abstract section and Conclusion section must be stated with novel outcome and enrich them with quantitative data
• Reference section should be prepared as per the journal style (Add DOI number/ publication URL for each reference);
