Paper Submission

Research papers differ in format and style depending on the topic (and even journal). 

Here are some tips for beginning doctoral candidates on paper writing. Naturally, it is thought that you have some findings worth sharing (because a lack of content cannot be concealed by excellent writing).

The journal or reader type you are writing for determines your writing style. Additionally, think of some famous papers or role models that you know. The overall goal is to be as fascinating and non-offensive to experts as possible while also appealing to non-experts.

Title 

This should make it clear right away why your work is different from all the others. It should be understandable to non-experts and realistic, but possibly a little mysterious or "catchy."

Abstract 

The length of the abstract usually has an inverse relationship with the paper's significance. Generally speaking, the effects are stronger when the concept is shorter. The difficulty, then, is to express the main findings and concepts of the paper in a succinct manner. Before reading the work, the abstract should be clear and self-contained.

Keywords

Along with words in the abstract and title, this is for computer database searches to detect. Therefore, consider the type of search terms you would like to see that lead to your work. This is related to identifying a Math Reviews code, which, if you know it, you can provide in a footnote. Please provide 4 to 6 keywords, which can be used for indexing purposes. Avoid use of words already appearing in the title of the paper.

Scientific Style

Genus and species names should be in italics.

Authors must deposit new nucleotide sequences to GenBank prior to submitting a paper for publication in EVP. An accession number must be given in the manuscript for new genomic DNA, complementary DNA, RNA and other nucleotide sequences discussed in the manuscript.

Statistical analysis of the results:

Authors must indicate, in a subsection at the end of the Materials and Methods section, the reproducibility, or statistical significance of the results, especially as it pertains to figures where error bars are not indicated (e.g. images, blots).

Use of antibodies:

Please provide the antibody product code, if commercially available antibodies have been used.

TABLE

  • All tables are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.
  • Tables should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order.
  • For each table, please supply a table caption (title) explaining the components of the table.
  • Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the table caption.
  • Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data) and included beneath the table body.

Conclusion

A good intro and well-written paper does not need conclusions. But this is the place for epilogical comments that can be understood only now after your new results. They are like corollaries or informal results or consequences that you haven’t worked out yet in detail. You can tell your ideas about these if you want in the form of expected directions for further work.

References

Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list.

Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work. Order multi-author publications of the same first author alphabetically with respect to second, third, etc. author. Publications of exactly the same author(s) must be ordered chronologically.

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section on the title page. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.

Compliance with Ethical Standards

To ensure objectivity and transparency in research and to ensure that accepted principles of ethical and professional conduct have been followed, authors should include information regarding sources of funding, potential conflicts of interest (financial or non-financial), informed consent if the research involved human participants, and a statement on welfare of animals if the research involved animals.

Authors should include the following statements (if applicable) in a separate section entitled “Compliance with Ethical Standards” when submitting a paper:

  • Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest
  • Research involving Human Participants and/or Animals
  • Informed consent

Please note that standards could vary slightly per journal dependent on their peer review policies (i.e. single or double blind peer review) as well as per journal subject discipline. Before submitting your article check the instructions following this section carefully.

The corresponding author should be prepared to collect documentation of compliance with ethical standards and send if requested during peer review or after publication.

The Editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned guidelines. The author will be held responsible for false statements or failure to fulfill the above-mentioned guidelines.

Conflicts of Interest

A conflict of interest occurs when an individual's professional or personal interests could be perceived to affect their impartiality in the review, editing, or publishing of scholarly work. These conflicts can be financial, personal, academic, or professional in nature and may influence decision-making or bias judgments.

Eureka Vision Publications is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and fairness in all its publishing activities. We recognize that conflicts of interest (COI) may arise during the editorial, review, and publishing process and are committed to ensuring that these conflicts are disclosed and managed appropriately to protect the credibility of our publications.
