The aim of this journal is to become the primary Nanotechnology information source for the Science, Engineering and Design community worldwide. The idea was to build a NanoTechnology knowledgebase that would really help to translate Nano Technology into tangible industrial benefits.
Nano Sciences and Nano Technologies are modern disciplines allowing for the study and manipulation of materials at an atomic or molecular scale. These disciplines offer very promising advances in the fields such as medicine and electronics.
GENERAL INFORMATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS
1. Manuscripts (in triplicate) should be submitted to the Editor in chief of the Journal at its
Editorial office. If desired, submissions may be made through any member of the Editorial
Advisory Board. Authors from the Western Hemisphere may submit their manuscripts to the U.S. Editor.
2. Only original papers will be published and copyright in the published papers will rest with the I.J.N.S.N.T.
3. Papers should not normally exceed 10000 words. All manuscripts will be referred to acknowledged experts in the subject who will make recommendations to the editors relative to the quality and length of the manuscript.
4. The language of the Journal will be English
5. A short abstract (not exceeding 150 words) should immediately precede the introduction. Abstracts should be most informative giving a clear indication of the nature and range of the results contained in the paper.
6. The introduction should define clearly the nature of the problem being considered. Reference should be made to previously published pertinent papers, accenting the major original contributions. Wherever possible, the practical application of the results should be cited.
7. In order to render their papers understandable to the widest possible circle of readers, authors of analytical papers are asked to relegate the algebraic details to separate sections, highlighting the main ideas in the body of the text. Specialized mathematical techniques should either be explained in the paper or made accessible by suitable references.
8. Authors are required to include a complete list of the symbols and units they have used in their manuscripts. In choosing symbols and abbreviations they are asked to use those recommended by the International Organisation for Standardisation and the various national standardising bodies. Use of the international system of units (SI Units) is obligatory. Wherever possible, equations should be written in dimensionless form.
9. Manuscripts should be typed double spaced with wide margins on one side of the paper only.
10. The title should be brief and typed on a separate sheet. The author’s name should be typed on the line below the title and affiliation and address should follow this. In case of co-authors respective addresses should be given. Correspondence will be sent to first named author, unless otherwise indicated.
11. All necessary illustrations should accompany the typescript but should not be inserted in the text. All photographs, charts and diagrams are to be refered to as ‘Figures’ and should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are referred to in the text. But captions should be provided to make the figures as informative as possible.(a) Photographs which should be glossy prints must be kept to a minimum. Each should have lightly written on the back the author’s name, the figure number and an indication of which is the top of the picture. Where lines (or lettering) are to appear on the photograph, two prints should be supplied, one appropriately marked and the other unmarked.(b) Line diagrams should be submitted in a form suitable for direct reproduction. They should be boldly drawn in black Indian ink on tracing paper. The lettering should be large enough to be legible after the diagram has been reduced in size for printing. Italics (sloping lettering should be used for any physical symbols. Typewritten lettering does not reproduce satisfactorily. All relevant measurements must be included. Adherence to these instructions will facilitate swift publication.(c) Captions to figures should be typed consecutively on a separate page or pages at the end of the paper. Each caption should give the figure number.
12. References in the text should be indicated by the names of the authors and the year of publication. They should be quoted in alphabetical order at the end of the paper. Reference to journal articles should take the following form: 1. Niyamathullah, V., and Sai, P.S.T., 2000. Studies on Effect of Air Distribution on the Performance of a Direct Reduction Rotary Kiln, 21 77-84.
