  ·         Third-level headings: First letter of first word capitalized; indented; italicized; and run into paragraph

  Please do not skip any level of heading before using a lower level. Any heading in the second or the third level should be used only when there are multiple such headings under their immediate higher level of heading.

  Kindly use footnotes on respective pages. Use footnotes as less as possible.

  If your paper contains hypothesis, please state each hypothesis separately, written in present tense. Use indentation and italicised font for hypotheses.

  Kindly use abbreviations only after you have mentioned the full form earlier in the text along with the abbreviated form in the first bracket. Names of organizations should be written in full the first time they are mentioned. Name of highly popular software, tools or techniques may be used in abbreviated form.

  Please ensure that the figures, images and tables are legible and are of high quality. Tables, figures and images should have titles and a short description. Write the titles along with the number, which should be consecutively increased for each type. This should be followed by a colon and a substantive title for each. The title of tables should be mentioned at the top, whereas the same for figures and images should be at the bottom. Authors are requested not to use colour in their tables, figures and images, to the extent it is possible. All tables, images and figures should be referred in the main body of the text.

  If needed, you may use appendices, which should be titled “Appendix A”, “Appendix B” etc. followed by a colon and a substantive title.
