The manuscript should contain an abstract within 300 words. The manuscript should have a self-contained, citation-free abstract and state briefly the purpose of the research, methodology, key results and major conclusions.

Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.

Keywords: Authors are advised to writes 3-5 keywords related to the article, separated by comma. These keywords will be used for indexing purpose.

1           Introduction

Mostly Papers starts with introduction. It contains the brief idea of work, requirement for this research work, problem statement, and Authors contribution towards their research. Sufficient recent reference citation [1] from last 2 years should be included for showing the existing challenges and importance of current work. This section should be succinct, with no subheadings unless unavoidable [2, 3]. State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background related to your work, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.

2           Research Methodology

This part should contain sufficient detail to reproduce reported data. It can be divided into subsections if several methods are described. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference [4], only relevant modifications should be described. Methodology should be written concisely in detail by maintaining continuity of the texts.

3           Theory and Calculation

A Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction and lay the foundation for further work. In contrast, a Calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis. Do not add extensive basic definitions or well-known theories, instead highlight theoretical background and its specific usages in view of your work only.

4           Results and Discussion

This section may each be divided by subheadings or may be combined.  A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate.  This should explore the significance of the results of the work, don’t repeat them. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature only, instead discuss recent literature for comparing your work to highlight novelty of the work in view of recent development and challenges in the field.

4.1         Preparation of Figures and Tables

Authors are supposed to embed all figures and tables at appropriate place within manuscript. Figures and tables should neither be submitted in separate files nor add at the end of manuscript. Figures and Tables should be numbered properly with descriptive title. Each Figure/Table must be explained within the text by referring to corresponding figure/table number. Any unexplained or unnumbered Figure/Table may cause rejection of the paper without being reviewed.

4.1.1      Formatting Tables

5           Conclusions

Each manuscript should contain a conclusion section within 250-450 words which may contain the major outcome of the work, highlighting its importance, limitation, relevance, application and recommendation. Conclusion should be written in continuous manner with running sentences which normally includes main outcome of the research work, its application, limitation and recommendation. Do not use any subheading, citation, references to other part of the manuscript, or point list within the conclusion.

6           Declarations
