Only articles that conform to the recommended format shall be considered for review.
FORMAT: manuscripts should normally be divided into distinct sections as follows; the text should be uniform 11 points font size (Garamond), single line spacing.
TITLE: Should be presented on the first page along with abstract and keyword(s) with font style Calibri 15 points bold. Author’s name and affiliation should be font style- Garamond, and size- 10 points
Running title and lead author should appear on each page of the paper.
ABSTRACT: Abstract must state briefly the objective of the study; highlight the major results and the conclusion.Font style-Garamond, font size-11 points, not more than 250 words are allowed.
KEYWORD(S): Not more than (5) keywords should be inserted below the abstract. Keywords(s) should reflect the content of the paper for easy retrieval of the paper.
INTRODUCTION: Should highlight the topic, using appropriate and up-to-date references followed by a short list of the objectives clearly indicating the aim of the research performed.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This section should be written in a manner that enables the reader to follow in detail both the materials and methods of uncommon procedures, in order to reproduce the experiments. An additional short description is advisable if the references are not accessible or are given in unfamiliar languages. Scientific and vernacular names should be written in full at first citation and in italics. Subsequently, the genus names may be abbreviated.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: result should describe Tables, Figures, Schemes, formulae etc.,presented in the article. Contents of Tables and Figures should only be repeated in the text, while drawing inferences to highlight the findings of the study. Font style- Garamond, Font size-10. Experimental data should be evaluated by suitable statistical methods, where applicable.The results should be discussed with regards to current knowledge and objectives of the research.
CONCLUSION: This should be a distinct inference drawn from the findings of the research.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: This is optional.
REFERENCES: The Harvard style of referencing should be adopted, i.e. reference should be listed in alphabetical order. The list of references should include only those publications, which are cited in the text. References to periodicals must be indicated by author’s name and year (in parenthesis) in the text.

Illustrations and Figures: Each figure should be given an Arabic number, e.g. Table 1. Scientific measurements should be given in SI Units. Internationally recognized abbreviations may only be used after the long form has been written and explained. Limit the numbers of illustration only to the most essential ones. Express “hours” as “h”, “minutes” as “min”, “seconds” as “sec”.
Tables: Each table should be given an Arabic number, e.g. Table 1. The title of the tables should be indicated at the top. Each table should be on separate page. The numbers should be limited to the absolutely necessary ones. Footnotes to Tables should be typed below the Table and should be referred to by superscripts lowercase letters.

Alternatively it could be prepared in separate pieces for individual mounting, not exceeding the 90×120 cm format. Panels are available for the display of each poster.
Display: Posters must not exceed 120 cm high by 90 cm wide. The poster must be mounted vertically. The poster title should go centred in the upper part; in bold, in title case, font size of 80 to 100-points. Use a simple font like Trebuchet, Helvetica, Arial or similar (sans serif).
