FJPN welcomes the submission of manuscripts that meet our criteria of significance and scientific excellence. Papers will be published approximately one month after acceptance.

Submission of an Article:

FJPN accepts scientific manuscripts in various formats such as research articles, reviews, abstracts, conference proceedings, case-reports. In addition to these formats, FJPN also publishes Editorials, Letters to the editor, communications and commentaries serving the International Scientific Community.

In order to reduce delays, authors should adhere to the word limit and format of the Journal at every stage of manuscript processing right from submission to the revision stage(s). Submitted manuscripts should have a 300 word summary/abstract, separate from the main text.

Hence, the Journal operates solely through processing charges we receive from the authors and some academic/corporate sponsors. The handling fee is required to meet its maintenance. Being an Open Access Journal, FJPN does not collect subscription charges from readers that enjoy free online access to the articles. Authors are hence required to pay a fair handling fee for processing their articles. However, there are no submission charges. Authors are required to make payment only after their manuscript has been accepted for publication.

Article Preparation Guidelines:

FJPN only considers for publication, original research that has not been published previously. Submission to the journal is indicative of the same and that the submitted manuscript is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Authors are expected to attach an electronic covering letter completely mentioning the type of manuscript (e. g, Research article, Review articles, Brief Reports, Case Report, etc.)

A clear title of the article along with complete details of the author(s) (professional/institutional affiliation, educational qualifications, and contact information) must be provided in the tile page.

The corresponding author is required to include address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address in the first page of the manuscript and authors.

Clearly mention financial support or benefits if any from commercial sources for the work reported in the manuscript, or any other financial interests that any of the authors may have, which could create a potential conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest with regard to the work.

A clear title of the article along with complete details of the author/s(professional/institutional affiliation, educational qualifications and contact information) must be provided in the tile page.

Number all sheets in succession, including references, tables, and figure legends.

Guidelines for Research Articles:

Research articles should be based on the empirical/secondary data collected using a clearly defined research methodology; these are always peer reviewed. Article(s) should provide a critical description or analysis of the data presented while making a new addition to the field. The abstract should be a maximum of 300 words containing 7 to 10 important keywords and should be further subdivided into Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusion sections.
