The Journal of Polymer & Composites is a peer-reviewed open-access journal of engineering and scientific journals launched in 2013 serving the fields of reinforced plastics and polymer composites including research, production, processing, and applications. PC brings you the details of developments in this rapidly expanding area of technology long before they are commercial realities. It provides a platform to discuss new issues in the area of polymer & composite that are a combination of polymers (i.e., thermosets or thermoplastics) with various continuous and non-continuous reinforcements/fillers, principally added to polymers to improve the material performance. The journal also seeks to advance the quality of research by publishing papers introducing or elaborating on new methods and practices in the field of Chemical Engineering.

Writing a scientific communication be it a research article or any other form of communication follows a rigid pattern or format that an author should follow. The format that you will follow with us is a result of the tedious process that focuses transfer of information between you and the scientific community. Here some changes you may notice in the heading or the typography of the article are made to suit the reading style of different readers and to ease the process of online publication of your article. We expect you to follow this guideline with caution, although we do know that you will take utmost care while writing the article but we still check for mistakes in formatting on our end and we would appreciate your effort if you have already followed the format. Here is a general format that an article follows:

• Title Page:–The title page should include the title of the manuscript, the names and affiliations of all authors, and the corresponding author’s contact information (including email address). If the manuscript has been presented at a conference or meeting, this information should be included.

For Example:-

“Comparative model of protein structure designed using atomic resolution model as a template for beta arrest in protein.” Such title written above can be misleading instead avoid unnecessary words and make the title more self-explanatory like: “Homology model or beta-arrest in protein “

• To summarize it
  • Title should highlight the content of the manuscript
  • Should not be more than 50 words
  • Unambiguous and specific, avoid unnecessary words and punctuations.
  • Enticing and should be able to draw the reader to itself

• Author Details: All the authors who have contributed to your research deserve to be credited for the work and the names should be listed in the same line separated by a comma. The corresponding author doesn’t need to always be the first author, and the order of name may vary at your convenience. But it is advised to highlight the name of the corresponding author with a star (Example: Abhishek Prasad*) to make it easy for the readers to identify the corresponding author. Correspondence should include an Email address, Telephone, and Postal address of which email and postal address are mandatory. Authors are encouraged to add a profile (maximum 200 words) to the submission and publish it. This should be a single paragraph and contain:.
  • Authors’ full names are followed by current positions.
  • Education background including institution information and type and level of degree received.
  • Work experience
  • Memberships of professional societies and awards received if available,
  • If the address information is provided with the affiliation(s) it will also be published. or authors that are (temporarily) unaffiliated we will only capture their city and country of residence, not their email address unless specifically requested.
  • Contact Details

For Example:

Homology model or beta-arrestin protein

Dr. Name used For example* Prof. (Dr.) Second name Used as Example

Bioinformatics example laboratory, University of Science and example study

• Abstract: The abstract should summarize the main points of the manuscript and should not exceed 250 words. It should include the objectives, methods, results, and conclusions of the study.
• Keywords:- 3-5 keywords should be included after the abstract to help identify the main topics of the manuscript.
• Introduction: The introduction should provide a clear and concise overview of the background and objectives of the study.
• Materials and methods: The methods section should provide enough detail for others to be able to replicate the study and build on published results. If you have more than one method, use subsections with relevant headings, jopc have no space restriction on methods. Detailed descriptions of the methods (including protocols or project descriptions) and algorithms may also be uploaded as supplementary information or a previous publication that gives more details may be cited. If the method from a previous article or any tool introduced in the study including software, questionnaires, and scales is used, if wording is reused, then this article must be cited and discussed. If an existing method or tool is used in the research, the authors are responsible for checking the license and obtaining any necessary permission. If permission was required, a statement confirming permission was granted should be included in the materials and methods section.
• Presentation:-
  • Section Headings or typography:- Typography is one major component of the written form of communication and it is very important that you follow the prescribed format that is mentioned under this section.
  • Headings:-  There can be three levels of headings
    • Level 1: Main heading
      • Main heading should be Bold and all caps
      • Heading should be numbered
      • Font used should be Times New Roman (bold) and 12 points
    • Level 2: Subheading:
      • Sub heading should be italics and should have a space between the main heading and content
      • It should also be numbered under the main heading
      • Font used should be Times New Roman(italics) with 10 point
    • Level 3: Sub-sub heading:
      • It should be italics and should not have space between the content paragraph, but should have a space between the sub heading if the sub-sub heading is given directly under the sub heading.
      • Font used should be Times New Roman(italics) with 10 points
    • Bullets:- Bullets can be used anywhere in the content, taking into consideration that the bullet size should be small.
    • Line spacing:- Line spacing in the content should be 1.0.
    • Colors and highlight:- Font and text color should be black (Hex#000000) and highlights should not be used anywhere in the article.
    • Publishing etiquette:- This is an open access website that allows researchers to record their methods in a structured way, obtain a DOI to allow easy citation of the protocol, collaborate with selected colleagues, share their protocol privately for journal peer review, and choose to make it publicly available. Once published, the protocol can be updated and cited in other articles. You can make your protocol public before publication of your article if you choose, which will not harm the peer review process of your article and may allow you to get comments about your methods to adapt or improve them before you submit your article.
    • Images, tables and graphs:- Images, tables and graphs should be numbered and should always be mentioned whenever referencing them in the article.
    • Reference list:- You should list the references as it appears in the text. The number of references should be limited to 60.
    • Citation:- It is important to give the citation of the previously published work as it appears in the content of the article. It should be mentioned in Vancouver or numbered format. The references cited should always be in square brackets and should always appear before the punctuation.
    • Statements and Declarations:- The following statements should be included under the heading “Statements and Declarations” for inclusion in the published paper. Please note that submissions which do not include relevant declarations will be returned as incomplete.
    • Funding statement:- Authors must state how the research and publication of their article was funded, by naming a financially supporting body(s) (written out in full) followed by associated grant number(s) in square brackets (if applicable). Note that some funders will not refund article processing charges (APC) if the funder and grant number are not clearly and correctly identified in the paper. If the research did not receive specific funding, but was performed as part of the employment of the authors, please name this employer. If the funder was involved in the manuscript writing, editing, approval, or decision to publish, please declare this.
    • Results:- This section of your article should include a detailed account of the findings that have been recorded and the author should provide a clear explanation of the findings, their significance and relevance. Raw data is rarely included in any scientific article so it is advised that you should analyze the data beforehand and should represent it in the form of graphs, charts or table.
    • Discussion and Conclusion:- In simple words this section describes what your research finding means. You should also interpret your results and give an account on its significance. You should also try to answer the hypothesis that led you to do the research on the first basis. Lastly your conclusions should be based on the findings and should have a logical explanation instead of making biased judgments.
