- Research articles, reviews, and short communications from Pharmaceutical, Medical Biotechnology, Nursing, paramedical and related Health science fields may be selected for publication.
- Manuscripts will be considered for publication only if they are not previously published elsewhere, either in part or in full form, or are under consideration for publication in any other Journal.
- The suitability of the manuscripts for publication will be determined after primary editorial review, and if found acceptable, will be peer reviewed. After this process, manuscripts will be returned for revision along with reviewers’ and editors’ comments/published/rejected.

- Manuscript should be arranged in the following order; Title page, Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgement and References.
- The title page should include the Title of the article, Author’s names and their affiliations. The corresponding author’s (marked with *) mailing address, e-mail address and Phone number must be specified.
- A structured abstract with a maximum of 250 words on a separate page is required for research articles. A maximum of 4 keywords must be given at the end of the abstract.
