Article Preparation Guidelines
Manuscript title: The title should not be more than 30 words and must not contain
abbreviations. The title requires a brief phrase describing the contents of the paper.
Author Information: Full names and affiliation all contributing authors and includes contact
details of corresponding author (Telephone, Fax and E-mail address).
Abstract: The abstract ought to be informative and completely self-explanatory, should present
the topic in brief, and state the scope of the experimental work, indicating significant data, and
pointing out major findings and conclusions. The abstract should encapsulate the manuscript
content in 300 words or less. Uses of standard nomenclature should be there and abbreviations
must not be used. The preferable format should lodge a description of the study background,
methods, results and conclusion. Following the abstract, a list of keywords (3-10) and
abbreviations should be incorporated.
Text:
Introduction:
The introduction ought to set the tone of the paper by providing a firm statement of the study, the
related literature on the study subject and the proposed approach or solution. The introduction
should be general so that it can attract a reader’s attention from a wide range of scientific
disciplines.
Materials and Methods:
This portion of manuscript should provide a thorough overview of the design of the study. Full
descriptions of materials or participants, interventions, comparisons and types of analysis should
be presented. However, only novel procedures should be described in full detail; procedures that
have been published previously should be cited and important modifications of published
procedures should be given briefly. Trade names should be capitalized and include the
manufacturer's name and address.
Results:
The section presenting results should provide complete details of the experiment that are needed
to support the conclusion of the study. The results should be written in the past tense when
describing findings in the authors' experiments. Previously published findings need to be written
in the present tense. Results and discussion may be included or in a separate section. Guesswork
or speculation and detailed interpretation of data should not be included in the results but should
be put into the discussion section.
Acknowledgement: It includes acknowledgment of people, funds, grant details, etc.
References:
Manuscripts that have been published or accepted should be included in the reference list.
Meetings abstracts, conference talks, or papers that have been submitted but not yet accepted
must not be cited. Personal communications should be supported by a letter from the relevant
authors.
APJNH uses the numbered citation (citation-sequence) method. References are listed and
numbered in the sequence that they give or appear in the text. In the text, citations should be
indicated by the reference number in brackets. Multiple citations within a one set of brackets
should be parted by commas. When there are three or more sequential citations, they should be
given as a range. Example: "... when, there is a large accumulation of microorganisms [1,5-
7,28]". Make sure the parts of the manuscript are in the corrective order for the related to journal
before ordering the citations. Figure captions and tables should be at the end of the manuscript.
Authors are requested to provide at least one online link for each reference as following.
Because all references will be linked electronically as much as possible to the papers they cite,
proper formatting of the references is important. Please use the following style for the reference
list:

Tables:
Tables should be used less in numbers as much as possible and designed as simplest. APJNH
strongly incite authors to submit tables as .doc format. Tables are to be typed double-spaced
throughout, which includes headings and footnotes. Each and every table should be on a separate
page, numbered consecutively in Arabic numbers and given with a heading and a legend. Tables
must be self-explanatory without reference to the text. Preferably, the details of the methods used
in the experiments should be described in the legend instead of in the text. The similar data
should not be presented in both table and graph form or repeated in the text. Cells can be copied
from an Excel spreadsheet and pasted into a word document, but Excel files should not be lodged
as objects.
If the submission is in PDF format, the author is requested to retain the same in .doc format in
order to aid in completion of process successfully.
Figures:
The suggested file formats for photographic images are .doc, TIFF and JPEG. If authors have
created images with different components on separate layers, please send us the Photoshop files.
All images must be at or above intended display size, image resolutions should be as: Line Art
800 dpi, Combination (Line Art + Halftone) 600 dpi, Halftone 300 dpi. The image files also
should be cropped as close to the real image as possible.
Use Arabic numerals to designate figures and upper-case letters for their parts (Figure 1). Start
each legend with a title and incorporate optimum description so that the figure can be understood
without reading the text of the manuscript. Information given in legends should not be repeated
in the text.
Figure legends: These should be typed in numerical order on a separate sheet.
Supplementary Information:
Separate items of the Supplementary Information (for example, figures, tables) mentioned to at a
suitable point in the main text of the paper.
Summary diagram/figure added as part of the Supplementary Information (optional).
Supplementary Information are reported as a single PDF file, where possible. File size within the
permitted limits for Supplementary Information. Images should be a maximum size of 640 x 480
pixels (9 x 6.8 inches at 72 pixels per inch).
Supplemental Data- APJNH maintains an online repository for supplemental information,
including detailed information about methods, validation, or experimental results. This
information is attached to the manuscript in the online journal, but is not provided in the
hardcopy. Supplemental data files to be posted in concurrence with the online version of the
article must be submitted with the manuscript. Supplemental data is optional.
Unpublished, Cited Works- mimeos of cited or other related manuscripts not yet in print must be
part of the submission package, along with supplemental information files to be posted in
concurrence with the article.
Conflict of Interest - Potential conflicts of interest ought to be reported at the time the
manuscript is submitted. Research funding or other support from outside the authors' stated
affiliation is needs to be disclosed within the manuscript.
Plagiarism: APJNH Uses latest software to screen submissions for content published elsewhere.
