Any manuscript should be arranged as follow:
* Title: should contain:
A concise informative title.
Full author(s)’s names.
Author(s)'s affiliations should be written in the same order of author's names and indicated with a superscripted number after each author name. department/institution/faculty/university/country in which the work was performed If any of the authors have another affiliation other than the one the work was performed at, this should be indicated as the permanent address of this author. Corresponding author's contact information, including name, address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. Carefully write this information as all following correspondence about the manuscript including acceptance, reviewer comments, and requests for offprint delivery will be referred to this address. A running title of no more than 60 characters (including spaces). Conflicts of interest-disclosure of any personal or financial support and author involvement with organization(s) with financial interest in the subject matter of the manuscript, or any actual or potential conflict of interest -and if no conflict exists, a statement must be included for each author.
* Abstract and key words: Each manuscript must contain an abstract of no more than 300 words for all Research/Review and ground articles. Abstract should clearly state the purpose of the study, basic procedures, main findings, and principal conclusion. Do not use footnotes or references in the abstract page. Below the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 key words that will assist indexers in cross-indexing your article.
* Introduction and aim of the work: Introduction should be brief and set out the purposes for which the study has been performed along with relevant previous studies only wherever essential and necessary.
* Materials and Methods: This section should provide detailed data about the type of the study, duration, ethical approval of Scientific and /or ethics committee. Methods should be sufficiently detailed so that readers and reviewers can understand precisely what has been done without studying the references directly. The description may be abbreviated when well accepted techniques are used. Identify drugs and chemicals used by scientific name, manufacturer name and city. Statistical methods used should be outlined.
* Results: A brief text should contain the most important results of the study. Results should be presented precisely and directly. Do not include discussion of their importance in this section of the manuscript. When describing the results of hypothesis testing, report P values and/or confidence intervals. Using phrases such as "not significant" is not sufficient. Authors should avoid repetition of data mentioned in the tables to be repeated again in figures as possible.
* Discussion: This sector should be describing the results and interpretations of the above experiments. There could be multiple subheadings or described in a single paragraph. None of the content/data should be copied.
* Conclusions: This should be clearly explaining the author thoughts, highlights and limitations of the study.
* Acknowledgements: Author could provide the grant details if any or express his gratitude towards his interest.
Author contributions
In absence of specific instructions and in research fields where it is possible to describe discrete efforts, the Publisher recommends authors to include contribution statements in the work that specifies the contribution of every author in order to promote transparency. These contributions should be listed at the separate title page.
Examples of such statement(s) are shown below:
All authors contributed to the study conception and design. Material preparation, data collection and analysis were performed by [full name], [full name] and [full name]. The first draft of the manuscript was written by [full name] and all authors commented on previous versions of the manuscript. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.
* References
Reference Style/ Formatting
Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Identify references in text, tables and legends by Arabic numerals (in parentheses) and superscripted. All references cited, and only these, must be listed at the end of the paper. List Authors’ names up to six. If the number of authors is greater than six, use "et al." after mentioning the first six authors. Abbreviations of journals must conform to those used in Index Medicus of the National Library of Medicine. The format of references should conform to the examples listed below:
Reference to a journal:
Mosa S, Yousof MH, El-Fateh NY, Abdullatif MA, Saber R, Nor-Eddin N, El-Jarhy MT, et al. Cytokines differently regulate monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 production by human peripheral blood monocytes and alveolar macrophages. J Immunol. 2011;37:269-275.

*Figure Illustrations and Table Formatting
Figures should be submitted in a separate file. Research is effectively communicated in your figures & tables such as graphs, illustrations, diagrams or other visuals and tables that play significant role.
