Flowchart of Submission Process
Alert: We do not accept any paper generated by AI. A review paper should contain a discussion of previous works, criticism, comments, suggestions, and/or opinions of the experts (authors) supported by table(s) (previous work list and summary), figure(s) (chart, illustration, etc), and other data. Prompt rejection will be given if these criteria are not met.
"AI allowed, wisdom applied"
Submission and Tracking of manuscript
We use a submission system which can be accessed by registering an account through the Login button (top right).
We encourage author to use this template (Download Template). All instructions are within the template and it is easy to follow. Original Article must contain these sections: Abstract, Introduction, Experimental Section, Results, Discussion (can be combined with results), and Conclusion. For other types of manuscript, any structure is acceptable as long as it contains: Abstract, Introduction/Background, and Conclusion/Summary (a summary can be included within the discussion section).
SciPhar accepts original article, reviews, mini-review, book-review, technical note, case report, case series, clinical trial, opinion/perspective, conference proceeding, and pictorial essay. Author may submit or suggest another type of scientific manuscript.
Manuscript Content
Title : 18 pt
Author name : 12 pt
Section/header : 13 pt
Sub section/sub header : 12 pt
Sub of a sub section : 11 pt
Content, references, and others : 11 pt
Flexible font size
Abstract : 9 - 11 pt (depending on the number of abstract words)
Table and Figure : <11 pt (depending on the clarity, blurrines, and table or figure size)
Title must be clear and represent the whole manuscript content. The maximum title's length is 3 lines in the manuscript template. No abbreviations use unless the full term is included. We use 'Title Capitalization' rules for the paper title, check this good explanation and this APA style for title case rules.
Author name and affiliation
Put a number after the author name according to the affiliation number. If all authors are from the same affiliation, number after author's name is not necessary. Corresponding author should be marked with (*) after his/their name. Please provide all the corresponding emails if you have more than one corresponding author.
Please refrain from including any titles, degrees, or statuses in the authorship information. While we hold utmost respect for academic achievements, our goal is to promote equality in publishing, valuing the work of both young and senior researchers. These statuses could also change during the time.
ORCID logo should only be used if you have an ORCID account and make the logo linked to your ORCID link. You can also input your ORCID ID (not the full link, e.g. 0000-0000-0000-0000) in the authorship input during submission and we will add your ORCID to the final version of the published PDF.
Abstract
Unstructured abstract, not more than 250 words. The abstract should briefly highlight the background, methods, results, and conclusions of the study.
Provide 3-6 unique and diverse keywords. One keyword must not exceed three words and using abbreviations in keywords should be avoided. Choose keywords that highlight the crucial aspects of your work, excluding those already mentioned in the article title or extensively covered in the abstract. Keywords play a significant role in enhancing the visibility of your work in search engines. Therefore, using unique and distinct keywords from the title and abstract allows for a broader and more specific search scope for your work.
The graphical abstract ought to present a smooth and coherent overview of the entire research process. Rather than integrating it into the manuscript, please submit the graphical abstract separately. Note that the graphical abstract will only be accessible in the HTML version of the published article.
Quality: Minimum 300 dpi
Figure must be clear and labelled. All figures must be included in the manuscript file and positioned as they are mentioned in the text for the first time. Please use bold to the figure number, for example: Figure 1. Flowchart of the methodology. Ensure that you place a period (.) at the end of each caption for figures and tables.
File type: JPG or PNG.
To ensure clarity of both the text and image in the figure, it is crucial to maintain the original aspect ratio when scaling up a figure. Stretching or widening the figure on only one side may cause blurriness and therefore, should be avoided.
Reproduction of figures
To reproduce a figure (already published in a paper in any journal) in SciPhar, copyright permission must be obtained. If a figure is reproduced without permission, it will be considered plagiarism and the authors will be asked to rectify the same. A note like 'copyright has been obtained from Einstein et al.' must be included within the Figure legend.
Tables must be created with the insert table feature of the Microsoft word. Please do not insert table as an image. All borders must be visible. The table header must be bold. Table number in caption must also be bold. Ensure that you place a period (.) at the end of each caption for figures and tables.
Example: Table 1. Patients’ characteristics.
In the event that a table extends beyond three pages, it is mandated to submit it as a supplemental table in EXCEL format or another datatable file. However, the supplemental table should still be mentioned in the text of the article to maintain its relevance and clarity.
Supplemental Data
To ensure accessibility and ease of use, supplemental data can be shared in the form of a file (ZIP or RAR) submitted with the manuscript or a permanent link to the data storage location. For supplemental data in the form of programs or applications, we recommend using GitHub. It is not acceptable to store the data on a personal cloud account like Gdrive or Onedrive.
Equations
Equations must be created with the insert equation feature of the Microsoft word. Please do not insert equation as an image. Each equation must be centered and labelled with a number.
Please use dots as a decimal marker, not commas.
Software to reduce grammatical errors
The use of grammarly is encouraged to minimize grammatical errors. Grammarly can be downloaded, installed, and added as an add-on to the Microsoft Word document.
Reference managing software
Authors are encouraged to use software such as Mendeley, Zotero, etc. to arrange the references. Mendeley and Zotero can be downloaded and installed. Once installed, they will appear on the 'References' tab on the Microsoft Word document.
We accept Vancouver style.
Authorship policy
In terms of planning the study design, data analysis, statistical analysis, software, executing work, writing, and editing, a significant contribution should be made by all contributing authors such as the first author, co-authors, and corresponding authors. Authors are encouraged to get familiar with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines.
Corresponding author
The corresponding author will take the responsibility of communicating with the editors from the initial submission till publication. Depending on the requirement, there may be two corresponding authors. In the case of two corresponding authors, the asterisk '*' sign should accompany their names in the manuscript and the initials of the authors should accompany their email addresses in the manuscript.
Change of authorship
During the review process, the corresponding author may request that the authorship be changed, providing appropriate reasons for the request. It is not permitted to add or remove authors once a submission has been accepted.
Plagiarism
If possible, authors are requested to submit a plagiarism report from commercial software (or from a free online server) as a supplemental data. For all types of articles, the plagiarism percentage should be kept as low as possible (maximum upper limit 15% excluding references). Even if the plagiarism percentage remains below 15%, the authors may be further asked to reduce the plagiarism to increase the authenticity of the manuscript.
Animal ethics and cell lines
Studies should be carried out keeping in mind the standard guidelines set by OECD, CPCSEA, ICH, Animal Welfare Board of India, as well as other organizations. Ethical clearance with proper documents should be obtained from the concerned authority (for example, Institutional Animal Ethics Committee) to carry out the studies. Also, sufficient details regarding the document number should be mentioned in the manuscript.
Retraction
Retraction guidelines provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) will be followed. A notice of retraction will be given to a paper if the findings are unreliable, unethical, plagiarized, or manipulated. To maintain integrity, the retracted paper will remain visible on the e-bulletin page. However, a notice of retraction will accompany the paper.
