Manuscripts are accepted on the understanding that the authors have obtained the necessary authority for publication. Manuscripts with multi-authors imply the consent of each of the authors. The publisher will presume that the corresponding author has specifically obtained the approval of all other co-authors to submit the article to eIJPPR. Submission of an article to eIJPPR is understood to imply that it has not been either published or not being considered for publication elsewhere.
Manuscripts will be reviewed by members of the editorial board, whose opinions will form the basis of the final decision by the editor. It is recommended that an English check of the manuscript by a competent and knowledgeable native speaker be completed before submission. Failure to follow them may result in papers being delayed or rejected.
Research Papers
Research papers should contain unpublished results of original research, which must be presented in sufficient detail to ensure the reproducibility of the described experiments and should present new experimental studies in elaborate form that constitute a significant contribution to knowledge.
Short Communications
Short communications are the one that should present new important findings in brief.
Review Articles
Review articles should bring up the most important current topics or present interpretative and critical accounts, but not simple compilation, on subjects of general interest.
Case Study
A case study should based on an in-depth investigation of a single individual, group, or event. Case studies may be descriptive or explanatory. Case study should involve an in-depth, longitudinal (over a long period of time) examination of a single instance or event. They provide a systematic way of looking at events, collecting data, analyzing information, and reporting the results. Case studies are the critical surveys of any complication performed in any region, area or demography to study and focus the causes and exclusion of complication.
Manuscript Preparation
Each manuscript should be neatly typed, single-spaced throughout; including tables, graphs, figures etc. Manuscript should be uniform size with at least 2.5cm margin on all sides. Prepare the manuscript in Times New Roman font using a font size of 12. Title shall be in a font size 14, bold face capitals. All section titles in the manuscript shall be in font size 12, bold face capitals. Subtitles in each section shall be in font size 12, bold face lower case. Standard International Units could be used throughout the text. Pages should not be numbered, manuscript should be starting with the title page and the text should be arranged in the following order:
Title Page

Materials and Methods
The section Materials and Methods should include concise details on the methodology adopted, sufficient to repeat the experiment. Please provide concise but complete information about the material and the analytical, statistical and experimental procedures used. Extracts and/or fractions tested for in vitro or in vivo biological activities should be chemically defined, at least by means of the results of preliminary phytochemical screening. Complete formulation details of all crude drug mixtures and extracts should be mentioned. The plant name should be fully mentioned when cited first, and the authors are asked to add the details regarding its identification, voucher herbarium specimen number and name of the herbarium institution where it has been deposited.

Respiratory tract infection is one of the most important infectious diseases worldwide. This infection is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients in developing countries. [1] Respiratory tract infections (RTIs), which involve the upper or lower respiratory tract, frequently occurs after birth. [2, 3] RTIs, such as sore throat, earache, laryngitis, common cold, otitis media, sinusitis, and mastoiditis, are the most frequently-occurred infections of all human diseases and have been frequently documented.

Figures
Figures(photographs, drawings, diagrams and charts) are to be numbered in one consecutive series of the Arabic numerals in the order in which they are cited in the text and abbreviated as Fig.X. Photos or drawings must have a good contrast of dark and light. Legends of figures should be brief, but complete and self- explanatory so that the reader can easily understand the results presented in the figure.
Abbreviations
Standard abbreviations should be used throughout the manuscript. All nonstandard abbreviations should be kept to a minimum and must be defined in the text following their first use (Just after Key words).
Short Communication
The journal publishes exciting findings, preliminary data or studies that did not yield enough information to make a full paper as short communications. These have the same format requirements as full papers. Short Communications should not have subtitles such as Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion - all these have to be merged into the running text. Short Communications preferably should have only 3-4 illustrations.
Case Study
The same format should be used for case study as of Research paper.
Review Articles
The article should contain up-to-date information, comprehensively cover relevant literature and preferably be written by scientists who have in-depth knowledge on the topic. All format requirements are same as those applicable to full papers. Review articles need not be divided into sections such as Materials and Methods and Results and Discussion, but should definitely have an Abstract and Introduction, if necessary.
Ethical Matters
Authors publishing results from in vivo experiments involving animals or humans should state whether due permission for conduction of these experiments was obtained, from the relevant ethics committees, in the Materials and Methods section. In addition, authors wishing to publish research work involving human studies should also send a notary verified letter of approval from the Ethics Committee or the Institutional Review Board.
The editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements. The author will be held responsible for false statements or failure to fulfill the above-mentioned requirements.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a serious issue now a day around the world in the arena of manuscript writing. Plagiarism means "Use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work." It has been noticed that, authors are simply copying scientific data and information from the other published papers, which is unlawful practice in academic fraternity. Therefore, I request to the all authors please adopt the holistic & pragmatic approach to design the manuscript of interest.
eIJPPR will not be responsible for further action on Plagiarism issue. The author will be solely responsible for plagiarism issue.
