Revised Author Guidelines (Being followed since Jul-Sep 2024 Issue)
Article Structure
1. Title
- The title should be brief, informative, and significant to all journal readers. It should include important phrases to improve internet searchability. Do not use long systematic names or cryptic abbreviations, acronyms, or symbols.
- Here are a few guidelines to help craft a concise, informative, and meaningful title for a journal article:
- Be Specific and Clear: The title should clearly convey the main topic or finding of your research. Avoid vague or overly broad terms.
- Include Key Terms: Use relevant keywords that are commonly used in your field. This helps in making your article more discoverable online.
- Avoid Jargon: Steer clear of non-standard or obscure abbreviations, acronyms, or symbols that might not be familiar to all readers.
- Limit Length: Keep the title as short as possible while still conveying the essential information. Long titles can be cumbersome and less effective.
- Highlight the Main Finding or Contribution: If possible, emphasize the unique contribution or main finding of your research in the title.
Example Titles
- Clear and Informative: “Impact of Climate Change on Coastal Erosion: A Case Study of the California Coast”
- Including Key Terms: “Machine Learning Algorithms for Predicting Cardiovascular Disease: A Comparative Study”
- Avoiding Jargon: “Innovative Drug Delivery Systems for Cancer Treatment: Efficacy and Safety Evaluations”
Example of What to Avoid
- Too Vague: “Studies in Climate”
- Overly Technical: “Investigating the Effects of Anthropogenic Activities on Coastal Geomorphology Through Remote Sensing and Geospatial Data Analysis”
- Jargon Heavy: “ML Algorithms for CVD: A Comp. Study
