Checklist of Manuscript Include

Manuscripts are accepted on the understanding that the authors have obtained the necessary authority for publication. Manuscripts with multi-authors imply the consent of each of the authors. The publisher will presume that the corresponding author has specifically obtained the approval of all other co-authors to submit the article to IJRPS. Submission of an article to IJRPS is understood to imply that it has not been either published or not being considered for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts should be neatly typed, 12 points, Double line spaced throughout, including tables, Figures and images on pages of uniform size with at least 1-inch margins on all sides. Word counts are not specified. However, 3000 to 10000 words for review, 3000 to 5000 words for research articles, and 1000 to 3000 for technical notes, commentaries, and short communications are preferable. The Additional processing charges may not apply if pages exceed the limits. On acceptance, authors are asked to fill the copyright transfer form that is available on the journal website.

The order of Manuscript 

1. Title page
2. Abstract
3. Keywords
4. Introduction
5. Materials and Methods
6. Results and Discussion
7. Conclusion
8. Acknowledgments 
9. References

Manuscript Title: The title page should contain a clear, concise, and informative title of the article.

List of authors, their affiliations, and email addresses 

There is a maximum of 8 authors of a manuscript, although all work must have been approved by all co-authors. All persons who have made substantial contributions to the work reported in the manuscript (e.g. data collection, analysis, writing, or editing assistance) but who do not fulfill the authorship criteria must be named with their specific contributions in an Acknowledgment in the manuscript.

Authorship Criteria

Credit should be based on the following criteria:

• Substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data
• Drafting the article or revising it critically for intellectual content
• Final approval of the version to be published
• Writing assistance from medical writers or agencies must be included in the Acknowledgments section, or should be given appropriate credit as authorship

Abstract - The abstract should briefly introduce the manuscript, not exceeding 200-400 words. No citations should be included in the abstract.

Keywords - At least 3-8 keywords or phrases should be included and must be separated by commas to distinguish them.

Introduction - The introduction section should provide a context for your manuscript. When preparing the introduction, please bear in mind that some readers will not be experts in your field of research.

Material and methods - Please provide concise but complete information about the material and the analytical, statistical, and experimental procedures used. This part should be as clear as possible to enable other scientists to repeat the research presented. The use of subheadings to divide the text is encouraged. Primary headings, Secondary, or subheadings should be in bold sentence case. Third level subheadings should be in Italicized sentence Case. In the case of animal/human experiments or clinical trials, authors must give the details of ethical approval (Mandatory).

Result and Discussion - Data acquired from the research with the appropriate statistical analysis described in the methods section should be included in this section. In this part, the same data/ information given in a table must not be repeated in a figure or vice versa. Tables and Figures should be self-explanatory and it is not acceptable to repeat extensively the numerals from tables into text and give lengthy and unnecessary explanations of the Tables and Figures. The discussion should relate the results to the current understanding of the scientific problems being investigated in the field.

Figures and Tables

• Table and Figures should be embedded within the body text, do not keep at the end of the manuscript
• Number consecutively
• Provide a descriptive heading/legend
• Place abbreviations and footnotes immediately below the table
• Use superscript a, b, c as identifiers
• Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos, photomicrographs, etc.) should be clean originals or digital files. Digital files are recommended for the highest quality reproduction (300 dpi or higher, sized to fit on the journal page, JPEG format only).
• Submit multi-panel figures, i.e. with parts labeled a,b,c,d, as one file
  Submission of Manuscript
• All manuscripts should be submitted via our journal website online submission system.
• By doing so you agree to the terms and conditions of submission
• Keep backup soft copies and hard copies of the material submitted

Conclusions - A conclusion is where you summarize the paper's findings and generalize their importance, discuss ambiguous data, and recommend further research. An effective conclusion should provide closure for a paper, leaving the reader feeling satisfied that the concepts have been fully explained.

Acknowledgments - You as the author are free to decide whether to include acknowledgments or not. Usually, the acknowledgments section includes the names of people who in some way contributed to the work, but do not fit the criteria to be listed as the authors. This section of your manuscript can also include information about funding sources.

Conflict of interest statements

Should be declared by Authors

Reference Style Guidelines

IJRPS  follow BMJ Open reference style (Square brackets referencing e.g. [1].

• Please note that authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their references.
• Text citations: Cite references sequentially in text, tables, and legends. The structure of a citation under the BMJ Open Style is the author's surname, year of publication, and page number or range, in parentheses, as illustrated with the example below in this author guideline.
• Reference list: Complete citations are provided in alphabetical order in a section following the text, usually designated as References.
• All citations are in the same font as the main text.

Creating a reference list: All of the sources you refer to in the main body of your assignment need to be listed at the end of the assignment in a reference list. In a reference list, you only need to list those sources from which you have either quoted or paraphrased. For example, you do not have to list books you used for background reading purposes. When creating a reference list, the sources should be listed alphabetically by authors surname, should be left-justified, and the references should never be preceded by a bullet-point or number. Where the author is anonymous or unknown for any one source, insert that source in the alphabetical list using the title of the source instead of the author's name. All sources should be listed together; there should not be separate lists for books versus journal articles versus electronic sources. The reference list should be on a separate page from the rest of the assignment and should be simply titled References or Literature Cited and the title should be in the same font and size as the other headings in your assignment.

When you use the BMJ Open Style System, you are only usually required to produce a reference list. However, some lecturers and tutors may want you to produce a bibliography instead of a reference list. In cases where you are asked to produce a bibliography, you must list all sources you have consulted, regardless of whether you cited from them or not. Also, some lecturers or tutors may ask you to produce an annotated bibliography or reference list. This simply means that after each source listed, you write a couple of sentences that appraise the book's usefulness about the topic.

The BMJ Open Style Referencing System (Square Parenthetical Referencing) is one of the preferred layouts for these references. It is a relatively strict way of arranging the bibliographical information. You can use the following third-party online BMJ Open Style Referencing Generator to prepare the correct referencing list. These tools take the raw information - author, title, year of and creates the reference in the correct form according to our journal referencing style. Copy and paste the generated references to your manuscript MS word document.
