Guidelines

1. Authors are required to get registered via Open Journal System prior to submission of manuscript.
2. Research prospects in Natural Sciences (RPNS) considers only those research manuscripts which are submitted via Open Journal System (OJS) to www.rpnsci.com
3. It is author(s)’ responsibility to ensure that the manuscript has neither been published nor submitted somewhere else for publication either in parts or as a whole.
4. Once the manuscript is received online (OJS), the desk editors will filter the manuscript in the light of Author-Guidelines. Based on the desk review, the manuscript is either sent back to the author(s) for further modifications or sent for the blind peer review.
5. Dear author your article will not be processed without the suggested formatting.
6. Manuscripts must be formatted according numbered style format. While writing a research paper for RPNS, the observance of the following is a must:
   
   1. Suggests font = Times New Roman; Font-Size =12; Line-Spacing =1.15; Margins=1 Inch – All Sides
   2. The word count of the research article would range between 4000 to 6000.
   3. The title page should include an informative title, author’s name, and complete mailing address including Postal & Online – email, Telephone & Fax No.
   4. Abstract: The abstract consists of the statement of the problem, research design, major findings and conclusions (Maximum words: 150). Maximum key words are five.
   5. Main-Body: The text should be divided into sections with the following headings:
      
      • Introduction:  Introduction should be brief with no subheadings. It also includes literature review.
      • Materials and Methods: This section may be divided by subheadings and should contain sufficient detail so that when read in conjunction with cited references, all procedures can be repeated
      • Results and Discussion: This section may be divided by subheadings. Footnotes should not be used and must be transferred to the main text. The discussion should address the study’s principal findings by situating them within relevant prior research to highlight their novelty, critically examining any limitations or weaknesses that may affect interpretation, and explaining how the results integrate with and advance current understanding of the problem. It should also consider potential future research directions and propose testable hypotheses or theoretical frameworks for subsequent investigation.
      • Conclusion:
   6. References:
      
      • In-text Citing: It is not necessary to mention an author’s name, pages used, or date of publication in the in-text citation. Instead, refer to the source with a number in a square bracket, e.g. [1], that will then correspond to the full citation in your reference list. When citing multiple sources at once, the preferred method is to list each number separately,  as such [1-5]. Examples of in-text citation “……..end the line of my research [6]” and “Scholtz [2] has argued that…”
      • Creating a Reference List: The Reference List appears at the end of your paper and provides the full citations for all the references you have used.  List all references numerically in the order they’ve been cited within the paper, and include the bracketed number at the beginning of each reference.
