Manuscript Preparation

Manuscripts should be prepared in British or American English (never both) using MS word (12 font Times New Roman on white A4 paper, portrait, double spaced throughout leaving 2.54 cm wide margin on both sides) and they should appear in the following order:

1. Title page (separate file) containing Title of the manuscript, Authors Name(s) and address(es), correspondence, list authors’ ORCID numbers, and Suggested reviewers. Download sample Title page here

Note: The Title page must be separated from the main manuscript body.

2. Manuscript body (separate file) containing Title of the manuscript, abstract, keywords, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussions, conclusions, recommendation(s), acknowledgement, and references. Names of authors and author details should not be included in this file. For easier manuscript preparation, authors can download USci manuscript (body) template here.

 

Manuscript Assessment After Submission

All the manuscripts submitted to USci are pre-screened by the editorial board for suitability and novelty. Next, the selected manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by at least two different reviewers to ensure a high standard and the decision to publish the paper will be based on the reviewers' comments/recommendations.
