Note:

  • Abbreviation criteria used in abstract will be applied to the main text.

  • Don’t include abbreviations in titles, subtitles, keywords, tables and figures captions.

Tables and Figures

In tables, abbreviations must be explained as footnotes; in figures, they must be explained through the caption, or put at the end of each caption as a list of the abbreviations displayed by the Figure. For examples (and details about the use of footnotes), see Section 1.4.

In the presentation of tables and figures (do not use abbreviations such as ‘Fig.’ Or ‘Tab.’) must always follow the same order in which they are presented in the main text. All references to tables and figures should specify the relevant Arabic identification numbers, not only ‘Table’ or ‘Figure’. If references are placed in tables/figures, the consecutive order of references must also take into consideration where

Tables/Figures are cited in the main text (Like Table 3,4).

Avoid presentation of same data in tabular and graphic form.

When reference is made to more than one table or more than one figure, please separate the identification numbers with a hyphen and use ‘and’ to present tables or figures that are not consecutive. Please pay particular attention to spacing, e.g.

Figures 3 and 4; Tables 2 and 4

Figures 1-3 and 8

Tables 1, 3 and 8

References referring to figure panels and subpanels should be presented by adding a capital letter in alphabetic order immediately after the identification number, e.g.

Figure 2A

Figure 2B

When reference is made to more than one figure panel or subpanel, please separate the capital letters with a hyphen and use a comma followed by a space to separate capital letters that are not consecutive, e.g.

Figure 1B and C

Figure 4B, D

Figure 4B-D

Note: For any already published material the authors must have to take a written permission for the reproduction and adaptation. Prior to publication a copy of the written consent/permission has to be provided to the editorial office.

Credits should be given to the original source by a specific reference in the legend confirming that permission for its use had been obtained (For e.g., Adapted/reproduced from X et al., 198117 with permission).

Tables:

Tables must be in editable format i.e. in MS –word or may be in Excel. Tables in Pdf, jpg or other format not acceptable. Tables should be placed at the end of manuscript with legend at the top of each table. Use capital letters for the first word in table title, column and row heading. Footnotes should only be used for the tables, at the bottom of table. Footnotes may be used to explain abbreviations and information’s and placed at bottom in order of appearance in the table. Avoid adding symbols in title of table add them in the footnotes.

Place dash (-) if column heading having no data.

Reference should be superscripted.

Use letters in superscript to identify correspondence between values.

Explain tersely the symbols, letters, or number used. Indicate the number and character of observations and subjects. Identify statistical significance by superscripts in front of the probabilities (P), e.g. aP < 0.05, bP < 0.01 vs A; cP < 0.05, dP < 0.01 vs B; etc.

Figures

Figures must be submitted as .tiff, .jpg files or .png with following resolution as a separate sheet with the original article (should not contain trade names or bibliographic references).

a. For color image (CMYK) resolution should be more than 300 dpi.

b. For black and white resolution should be more than 600 dpi.

c. For one column width should be 9.0 cm and two column it’s should be 17.5cm.

Note: ‘Figure’ term is used both for graphs and photos

Caption must be at the end of each figure with all symbols and abbreviations if any. Lettering of figures should be clearly sized and labelled so that it will be liable after image is reduced/compressed for final publication

Figure contains two or more panels or subpanels, description for each panel is should be well provided, in the order in which they are presented.

Different panels should be identified by capital letters and a description of each panel should be identified in the figure legend by the related capital letter in brackets. If symbols are used, make sure such symbols are clearly distinguished from the letters

Used to identify each panel.

Insets: any insets should be described in the figure caption.

For staining used, specification of each and every staining should be in the figure caption.

IF figure has been manipulated, the following data should be provided in the caption:

a. Model of microscope;

b. Magnification adopted and temperature;

c. Imaging medium acquisition software ;(e.g. adobe photoshop or other)

e. Image processing software if used,

Curves:

Combine related curves in a single figure when possible. A composite of curves will save space and convey more information. Standard symbols (e.g. ○, ●, ×, □, ■, △, ▲) should be used when there are multiple curves

*Note: – LP is not responsible for any quality of image not confirming above and reserve right not to publish image confirming the above requirement.

References

All publications cited in the text should be presented in the References section.

Authors are responsible for the accuracy of bibliographical references presented in the manuscript and should pay particular attention to journal data (correct spelling of authors’ names, complete title, and volume and page numbers.

Vancouver style (Primarily for medical and biomedical journals)

Author should strictly follow Vancouver style

In-text citations

In-text citations are references provided in the body of a paper to each work cited – books, journal articles, reports, material from the internet and the like. Consecutive numbers (either in parentheses or superscript) are used for the sources cited.

The same number is used for a source throughout a paper. This number is determined by the first citation of the source. So, for example, if a work is the fourth source cited in a paper, it will be referred to as (4) or by the superscript number 4 throughout that paper.

When two or more references appear at the same point in the text, the relevant numbers are separated by commas, e.g. (4, 7) or 4, 7 if using superscript. Three or more consecutive citations are joined by a hyphen, e.g. (4-7) or4-7.

Reference numbers are usually placed outside full stops and commas, but journals vary in their practice.

The example that follows demonstrates the use of in-text citations. It is from the Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals, updated April 2010.

An “author” is generally considered to be someone who has made substantive intellectual contributions to a published study, and biomedical authorship continues to have important academic, social, and financial implications.(1)… In the past, readers were rarely provided with information about contributions to studies from those listed as authors and in acknowledgments.(2) Some journals now request…

Collating a reference list

An important purpose of the reference list is to identify the sources cited in the paper so that readers can locate them. The reference list should appear at the end of the paper and provide the full bibliographic information about the sources cited. The list is arranged in numerical order, so readers can go from the number in the body of the paper to the full details of the source.

Initials follow the family names of authors and editors, with no space or full stops between the initials of an author, e.g. Halpern SD, Ubel PA, and Caplan AL.

Commas are used to separate each author’s name. Note that ‘and’ is not used to separate the last two names.

Each entry is set flush against the left margin, and the number is followed by a full stop, as in the examples that follow.
