All pages should be numbered sequentially. Manuscripts should be written in good scientific language, nomenclature and standard international units should be used.

Authors are requested to write a category of the article (Original Research Article, Short Communication, Review Article, Case Report systematic review, Meta-analysis, etc ) under which they want to publish it.

Originality

All articles submitted for publication in Glorious International nursing Journal – GIJNR should be original material. The submission should have been made exclusively to GIJNR and must not have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. The first author should certify to this effect. Any author/s found to falsify or mislead the editors will be disqualified from future submissions to GIJNR.

Original Research Article
Original Research Article should be submitted under the following headings in one file.

Title

The Title should be a brief phrase describing the contents of the paper. The Title Page should include the authors’ full names and affiliations, the name of the corresponding author along with contact number and e-mail information. Present addresses of authors should appear as a footnote.

Abstract

The Abstract should be informative and completely self-explanatory, briefly present the topic, state the scope of the experiments, indicate significant data, and point out major findings and conclusions. The abstract should be up to 250 words in length. Complete sentences, active verbs, and the third person should be used, and the abstract should be written in the past tense. Standard nomenclature should be used and abbreviations should be avoided. No literature should be cited.

Key Words
Following the abstract, about 6 keywords that will provide indexing references should be listed.

Introduction
The Introduction should be concise and define the scope of the work in relation to other work done in the same field.

Materials and Methods

Materials and Methods should be complete enough and clearly describe the experiments and techniques used in the study. However, only truly new procedures should be described in detail; previously published procedures should be cited, and important modifications of published procedures should be mentioned briefly.

Statistical Methods

The details of the statistical tests used and the level of significance should be stated. If more than one test is used it is important to indicate which groups and parameters have been subjected to which test.

Results
Results should be combined and presented with clarity and precision. The results should be written in the past tense when describing findings in the author’s experiments. Previously published findings should be written in the present tense.

Discussion
The Discussion should interpret the findings in view of the results obtained in this and in past studies on this topic.

This section should deal with the interpretation, rather than recapitulation of results. It is important to discuss the new and significant observations in the light of previous work. Discuss also the weaknesses or pitfalls in the study. New hypotheses or recommendations can be put forth. Avoid unqualified statements and conclusions not completely supported by the data. Repetition of information given under Introduction and Results should be avoided.

Conclusion
State the conclusions in a few sentences in a lucid manner at the end of the paper. Conclusions must be drawn considering the strengths and weaknesses of the study.

Tables
Tables should be self-explanatory and kept as minimum as possible and placed at the appropriate place in the text and be designed to be as simple as possible. The details of the methods used in the experiments should preferably be described in the legend instead of in the text. The same data should not be repeated in both table and pictorial/graph forms.

Don’t keep tables/figures at the end of the article. All the tables/figures should be kept at an appropriate place in the text of the article where you have mentioned these tables/figures. All the tables/figures should be mentioned in the text of the article.

Figure legends: Graphics should be prepared using applications capable of generating high-resolution GIF, TIFF, JPEG, or PowerPoint before pasting in the Microsoft Word manuscript file. Use Arabic numerals to designate figures and upper case letters for their parts (Figure 1).  Figures can be attached as JPEG files.

References
The references may be cited in Vancouver style.

Avoid citing abstracts as references.

Each reference should be assigned a number, consecutively in the order of mention in the text.

References are to be cited in the text by superscripted number and should be in the order in which they appear. The original number should be reused each time the same reference is cited in the text. The number should be placed in the text as a superscript inside the bracket and in bold & blue color like [1], outside the full stops and commas, and inside colons and semi-colons. When multiple references are cited at a given place in the text, use a hyphen to join the first and last numbers that are inclusive and use commas to separate non-inclusive numbers (2-5, 7,10).

For Vancouver style, reference numbers should be in increasing order like 1,2,3,4,5…. throughout the text of the article starting from the Introduction section. Don’t write the reference number in the Abstract.

The list of references should be given at the end of the paper. If there are 3 or less authors, mention the name of all the authors. Where there are more than 3 authors, use et al after the third author.
