AUTHOR GUIDELINES     

Author Guidelines for Preparation of Manuscript Please strive for a professionally prepared manuscript of high technical and scientific quality. Many reviewers are overwhelmed with review requests. Our experience is that they are more likely to agree to review a well prepared manuscript.

Articles should be submitted in the following order: Title, Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References.

Font style Times New Roman - Space 1.5 - Font 12 Please number the headings in your manuscript as follows: It should be arranged into the following sections:

(1) Title page, (2) Abstract and Key words, (3) Introduction, (4) Materials and Methods, (5) Results & Discussion, (6) Conclusion, (7) Acknowledgement (8) References, (9) Tables and (10) Figures. (For the units of measurement, the use of the International System of Units (SI) is recommended) Title page:It should contain, name of author(s) and an(*) asterisk placed after the name of the corresponding author, address (es) of the institution(s) at which the work was performed, each author's affiliation and a footnote including the complete mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address for the corresponding author.

Abstract: It should give the brief idea of Research Work and should not exceed more than 200 -300 words. 

Keywords: It should have 6-8 keywords related to the work. 

Introduction: It should provide sufficient background information for the reader to understand and evaluate the results of the present study without referring to previous publications on the same topic. 

Materials and methods: All important material used along with their source shall be mentioned. The main methods used shall be briefly described, citing references. New methods or substantially modified methods may be described in sufficient detail. 

Results and Discussion: Results should be described as concisely as possible in one of the following ways: text, table(s), or figure(s). Avoid extensive use of graphs to present data that might be more concisely or more comprehensively presented in the figures or tables. The reproducibility and statistical significance of measurements, material or biological data, must be included where relevant. The discussion should provide an interpretation of the results and their significance with regard to previously published work. There should not be any significant repetition of the experimental procedures or reiteration of the introduction.  Conclusion: A short, paragraph summarizing the most important findings of the research is required.

Acknowledgments: The source of any financial support, gifts, technical assistance and advice received for the work being published must be indicated in the Acknowledgments section. Structure Drawing Preferences: [As according to the ACS style sheet] Please make sure that artwork files are in an acceptable format (TIFF, EPS or MS Office files) and with the correct resolution.

References should be numbered and listed on a separate sheet. Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text. The actual authors can be referred to, but the reference number(s) must always be given. Example: "... as demonstrated [3,6]. Barnaby and Jones [8] obtained a different result." List: Number the references (numbers in square brackets) in the list in the order in which they appear in the text.

Review articles should be about 15 pages and contain up-to-date information providing comprehensive coverage of relevant literature. Review articles should preferably be written by scientists who have in-depth knowledge of the topic. All format requirements are similar to those applicable to Research papers. Review Articles need not be divided into sections such as Materials and methods, and Results and discussion, but should definitely have an Abstract and Introduction.

Full Length Research Papers: These papers should describe in detail original and important stages of work in the fields covered by the IJLESS . Short Communications: These should describe complete and original research work whose length and/or importance do not justify a full-length paper. The format Is the same as that for a full-length Research Paper. The approximate length should be 10 pages of 1.5-spaced type-script, including Tables and Figures,

Keywords are essential.
