Instructions to Authors

General Information

CHARUVIDHYA publishes original research and review articles across a wide range of disciplines, including Physical, Biological, and Chemical Sciences, Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Engineering, Technology, and Management. The primary criterion for publication is a clear and significant contribution to the advancement of knowledge within these fields.

Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit their original, unpublished manuscripts to the CHARUVIDHYA – CHARUSAT Journal. Our editorial team rigorously assesses all submissions to ensure alignment with the journal’s scope, and they then undergo a double-masked peer-review process.

Authors are strongly encouraged to review the official submission guide from the Public Knowledge Project, "Learning OJS for Authors," to understand the submission workflow on the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform.

Pre-Submission Preparation Checklist: As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all the following items. Submissions may be returned to authors who do not adhere to these guidelines:

  • Originality: The submission has not been previously published, nor is it currently under consideration by another journal.
  • Formatting: The manuscript strictly adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Manuscript Submission Format templates.
  • Ethics and Consents: All authors have approved the final manuscript. Necessary permissions have been obtained to publish all included figures, datasets, and supplementary materials.
  • Blind Review Preparation: To ensure a double-masked review, the primary manuscript file has been anonymized, with author details and affiliations removed (these will be captured directly in the system metadata and title page).
  • Declarations: The Conflict of Interest Statement, Copyright Transfer Statement, and any Generative AI disclosures are prepared for upload as supplementary files.
  • IEC Certificate Requirement: For studies involving human participants, authors must submit a valid Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) approval certificate (with approval number and date) at the time of submission; manuscripts without ethical clearance will not be considered. 

Authorship Criteria

Authorship is reserved for individuals who have made a substantial intellectual contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All listed authors must approve the final version of the manuscript and agree to its submission.

The Corresponding Author acts as the primary point of contact during the editorial and review process and is responsible for communication with all co-authors. Any changes to the author list, including additions, deletions, or reordering after submission, require formal written approval from all original authors and the Chief Editor.

Manuscript Organization

Manuscripts should be logically structured and clearly presented. For full-length research papers (maximum 10 pages / 6,000 words), the recommended structure is as follows:

Title Page: Include manuscript title, full author names, institutional affiliations, and corresponding author contact details. This should be submitted as a separate file to ensure a blind review process.

Abstract & Keywords: Provide a concise summary of the study’s objectives, methodology, and key findings (maximum 200 words), followed by up to five relevant keywords.

Main Text: The manuscript should include the following sections: Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion.

Acknowledgements: Acknowledge funding sources, technical support, or contributions from individuals who do not meet authorship criteria.

References: References should be arranged alphabetically and chronologically. In-text citations must follow the Author-Date format (e.g., Smith, 2007; Ram et al., 2008).
