Article structure 

Subdivision - numbered sections

• Divide the article into clearly defined and numbered sections (1, 2, 3,.....).

• Each heading should appear on its own separate line.

Article should contain the following sections:

Abstract page should be made as per the instructions given in the abrtact page section and added in the first page of the article file. The subsequent pages should contain the following;

1. Introduction

State the purpose of the study or observation.

2. Materials and Methods:

The methods section should only include information that was available at the time the study was planned or protocol written. Describe the selection of the specimens /participants (patients or laboratory animals, including controls) clearly, including eligibility and exclusion criteria and a description of the source population. Identify the methods, materials, equipments (give the manufacturer's name and address in parentheses), and procedures in sufficient detail to allow other workers to reproduce the results. Give references to established methods, including statistical methods.

3. Results

Statistical data are summarized in this section. Specify the statistical methods used to analyze them. Define statistical terms, abbreviations, and most symbols. Specify the computer software used. Use upper case (P= 0.048). For all P values include the exact value and not less than 0.05 or 0.001.

Present your results in a logical sequence in the text, tables, and illustrations, giving the main or most important findings first. When data are summarized in the Results section, give numeric results not only as derivatives (for example, percentages) but also as the absolute numbers from which the derivatives were calculated, and specify the statistical methods used to analyze them.

4. Discussion

Discussion Include summary of key findings; Justify the results obtained. Strengths and limitations of the study; future research directions.

5. Conclusion

• Must concisely state inference, significance, or consequences.

• must not repeat Results or Discussion
