Present data according to standard formats as dictated by the experimental design and the data analysis carried out.
Conclusion: The main findings of the investigations reported in the paper and briefly discuss the limitations of the research and Future Scope for improvement.
Acknowledgment: This heading is not assigned a number. Acknowledgements include details of research funding sources if applicable and about any technical or intellectual assistance provided through others those have no rights of authorship for this research. It can include presenting the gratitude towards your guide/team mates/at back end support.
Conflicts of Interest: Authors must identify and declare any personal circumstances or interest  in the manuscript in a paragraph heading "Conflicts of Interest" (after Acknowledgment section and before References) that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of reported research results. If there is no conflict of interest, please state "The authors declare no conflict of interest."
References: This heading is not assigned a number. Only cited text references are included. Each reference is referred to in the text by a number enclosed in a square bracket (i.e., [1]).

Article in Scientific Journal:
Author, A.A., Author, B.B., & Author, C.C., (Year). Title of the article. Abbreviated journal title, volume(issue): firstpage-lastpage. DOI of the article.
Book:
Author, A.A., (Year). Title of the book (edition). Location: Publisher.
Book Chapter:
Author, A.A., (Year). Title of the chapter. In A.A. Editor & B.B. Editor, (Eds.), Title of the book (edition, pp. firstpage-lastpage). Location: Publisher.

If the manuscript contains private information e.g., photographs of participants, a written informed consent for publication must be obtained from participating patients in this case.
Ethical Guidelines for the Use of Animals: For research papers using animals the “Interdisciplinary Principles and Guidelines for the Use of Animals in Research, Testing and Education” issued by the New York Academy and Sciences` Adhoc Committee on Animal Research should be followed.

Authors Declaration

Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has been neither published nor submitted for publication, in whole or in part, either in a serial, professional journal or as a part in a book which is formally published and made available to the public. For the mutual benefit and protection of authors and publishers it is necessary that authors provide formal written consent to publisher and transfer of copyright form after acceptance of papers.

Manuscript Withdrawal Policy

By submission, the author grants the journal right of first publication. Therefore, the journal discourages unethical withdrawal of manuscript from the publication process after peer review.
Author may wish to withdraw his manuscript after submitting it to Society of Open Science. To withdraw a manuscript we do not charge any fee, only if he/she withdraws it within a week. If an author withdraws manuscript after a week, then he/she will be asked to pay partial processing fee. Each and every manuscript submission costs us (Society of Open Science) certain amount along with overhead cost during processing. Manuscripts peer review process is completed (which can often happen within 4 weeks), and it has been worked into a journal issue, we have incurred costs on our end that need to be reimbursed. We ask authors to pay 50% of the original article processing fee in case of withdrawal.
For any queries or any discussions regarding manuscript withdrawal/article processing fee, please contact us at: editor.jalrb@gmail.com.
