At SciencePhotons, we aim to provide a seamless, transparent, and professional publishing experience for all our authors. Please follow these comprehensive guidelines to ensure the smooth review and publication of your work.
Manuscripts should be submitted in Microsoft Word format (DOC, DOCX) and RTF. This allows compatibility across platforms and makes editing and reviewing easier. Ensure that any Word document submissions are not locked or password-protected, allowing the editorial team to edit and format them efficiently. Figures should be submitted separately as image files. If multiple files are submitted, they should be compressed into ZIP or RAR format.
Submissions must be written in Standard English, ensuring clarity and consistency throughout the manuscript. We recommend non-native English speakers have their manuscripts proofread for language accuracy.
We impose no restrictions on word count or article length. Authors can submit manuscripts of any length required to convey their research effectively.
A cover letter should accompany your submission, highlighting the significance of the research and confirming the authors’ agreement to publication in accordance with our guidelines and ethical policies.
These articles present new findings from original research conducted by the authors. They typically include an introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion, contributing novel insights to the field.
Review articles offer comprehensive analysis and synthesis of existing research on a specific topic. These articles provide context and evaluate advancements in the field.
These are descriptions of novel or unique clinical cases. Case reports include patient symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes, often supported by a brief review of related literature.
Editorials are concise articles written by editors or guest authors offering opinions on key topics relevant to the journal’s focus.
Commentary pieces provide critical analysis or viewpoints on recently published research or current issues within the field.
These are corrections issued for significant errors identified in previously published articles.
Expert opinions are insights from specialists in the field, discussing the potential direction or importance of new developments in research.
Letters are typically brief discussions that either support or dispute findings of previously published work.
These articles present the author’s viewpoint on emerging or important issues within the journal’s scope.
The title should be concise (25 words or less) and free from abbreviations. It must reflect the focus of the research while remaining clear and professional.
Provide the full names, institutional affiliations, and contact details (including email addresses) of all contributing authors. Ensure proper credit is given to all contributors in the correct order of significance.
All manuscripts must include an abstract of up to 300 words. The abstract should succinctly summarize the research background, methods, results, and conclusions. Include 3–5 keywords that clearly represent the core themes of the article. Definitions for any abbreviations used should also be provided in this section.
Original Research Articles should include Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion. Other manuscripts should follow specific formats relevant to the type.
The introduction should outline the study’s background, citing relevant literature, and identifying the gap your research addresses.
Provide a detailed description of the study design, materials, and methodologies used. This section must be clear enough for others to replicate the research.
Results should be presented in the past tense and must clearly support the conclusions. Data should be accurate, with appropriate statistical analyses where necessary.
These sections can be combined or presented separately. In either case, they should offer a thorough interpretation of the results, highlighting the implications of the findings.
Acknowledge any non-author contributors, including technical assistance or funding sources. Grant numbers, institutional affiliations, or other support should be clearly stated.
Only cite published or in-press works. Use a numbered citation system and follow the journal’s reference style. Authors are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of their references.
Tables should be kept simple, submitted on separate pages, and clearly labeled with appropriate headings and brief legends explaining the content. Tables can either be placed at the end of the manuscript or embedded within the text, provided they are clearly referenced.
Submit figures in high-resolution TIFF or JPEG formats. Figures should be embedded within the manuscript or submitted separately. Ensure all figures are clearly labeled and easily readable.
Use Math Type for any equations. If necessary, TIFF or EPS formats can be used for greater clarity. Number equations sequentially in the manuscript, and make sure they are clearly referenced in the text.
Authors will receive galley proofs to review for typographical or minor errors before the article is published. This is your final chance to make minor corrections. Authors will have 48 hours to review and return proofs.
Our Article Processing Charges (APC) help us publish high-quality research and make it available for free worldwide. The APC covers costs for peer review, editing, production, and online hosting, allowing us to support authors fairly.
We are transparent about how the APC is used for rigorous peer review and quality publishing. This fee helps every article meet high standards and reach a global audience.
As an open-access journal, we do not rely on subscriptions or other funding. Instead, we depend on the APC, which allows us to focus on sharing great research.
We understand that some authors, especially from low-income countries, may struggle with costs. To help, we offer discounts for eligible submissions.
Our goal is to support important research and make it accessible to everyone.
We follow a gold open access model, allowing your research to be freely accessible to the global scientific community without any barriers. All articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. This ensures maximum visibility and impact for your research.
Authors may request to withdraw a submitted manuscript before it is accepted. To withdraw, the corresponding author must send a request with the reason for withdrawal within 24 hrs. Withdrawals after acceptance are discouraged but may be considered in exceptional cases. Once published, withdrawal is not allowed, except in cases of serious ethical issues, where retraction may be considered.
Authors must adhere to the highest ethical standards. Any potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed in the manuscript. If no conflict exists, please state this explicitly. All research involving human or animal subjects must comply with ethical standards and include appropriate ethics committee approvals.
Authorship should include only those who have made significant contributions to the research, like planning, conducting, or analyzing the study. All authors share responsibility for the work’s accuracy. Those who helped but don’t meet these criteria (like technical or writing support) should be mentioned in the acknowledgments. The corresponding author must ensure that all listed authors approve the final version and agree to its submission.
We kindly ask authors to avoid any form of plagiarism, including the copying of text, images, or data from other sources without proper acknowledgment. Even if cited, direct duplication of content from other works is not acceptable. We follow COPE guidelines to address instances of plagiarism.
Authors are requested to provide accurate and honest data. Fabricating or falsifying results, or omitting conflicting data without justification, is not allowed and will be subject to investigation.
These guidelines have been created to ensure a smooth, efficient, and professional process for the submission, review, and publication of your work. At SciencePhotons, we are dedicated to promoting the highest standards in open-access publishing and look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
