Abstract: It should contain scope and methodology employed, and key results in a way that is useful for indexing and abstracting service providers and gives a bird's eye view to a reader as well. Restrict it to 200 words. A graphical abstract is also printed in contents part of the journal in every issue, so do provide one with indication of an illustration/figure/formula, etc which should go along with it.
Introduction: A brief and precise literature review with objectives of the research undertaken and essential background should constitute the introduction part.

The information given should be clear and complete so that anyone interested in repeating the experiment should be able to do so. If reference to a hard to obtain source is given, then details of the procedure must be provided. The section should clearly indicate the experimental design followed and the statistical methods used to summarize information for interpretation.
Results and Discussion: Results should be coherently presented and appropriately linked to tables, figures and other illustrations, but restricted to bare minimum. The section should also compare findings with those of others, as deemed necessary by the authors, and its relevance be discussed to the problem tackled, in particular, and for the branch of science, in general. Any weakness of the study undertaken, or any other peculiarity must also be pointed out. New findings, new interpretations, etc should be clearly spelt out, and also confirmation of important concepts, models, theorems, etc should be indicated. Present data according to standard formats as dictated by the experimental design and the data analysis carried out.
Conclusions: Main findings of the investigations reported in the paper.
Acknowledgements: It should be brief and meaningful when invoked; trivial formalities should be avoided.
References: The literature as referred to in the text should be put under this section and number sequentially in the order of its first use or mention in the text. Indicate sources (references) in the text as superscript Arabic serial numbers. Abbreviate journal names as given in the International Serial Catalogue (published by International Council of Scientific Union's Abstracting Board) without the use of any period ('.').

NISCAIR Policy on Plagiarism
The system of formal communication in science through publication in primary journals is based on originality and quality of information, being the only criteria for publication. However, there have been tendencies to misuse the system and vitiate the process of science communication for personal benefits. One of the ills, afflicting science communication, is plagiarism. Attempts at plagiarism may range from verbatim copying of extensive material of other authors, misappropriating results/data of others with minor changes in language/presentation without giving credit to original source, and to publishing essentially the same information more than once.
As the premier institution of publishing primary scientific journals in various disciplines of science and technology in India, NISCAIR strongly reiterates its policy of discouraging plagiarism of all kinds. All efforts are made to detect and frustrate attempts at plagiarism through editorial screening and rigorous peer review in respect of communications received for publication in the NISCAIR publications. Cooperation of the scientific community is sought in our efforts to frustrate all attempts at plagiarism.
In case, any attempt of plagiarism is brought to our attention accompanied with convincing evidence, following steps would be taken:
(a) After consulting the respective Editorial Board Members, authors guilty of plagiarism will be debarred from publishing their papers in NISCAIR journals.
(b) Heads of the Departments/Institutes of the offending authors will be intimated of such incidences of plagiarism
(c) Such incidents of plagiarism will be publicized through the concerned NISCAIR journals in consultation with the respective Editorial Board Members.
