  • Supplementary data: All the chromatograms and chemical structures should be provided in supplementary file.

Title page and author information

  • Provide the author, affiliation, and correspondence details for the separate title page; Articlo creates the editable companion file.
  • Author has to submit the manuscript as a single file (.docx or.doc format only, pdf not acceptable) divided into following sub-sections: Title page: It should contain title of manuscript, name of all authors along with their affiliations and contact details of corresponding author (This should be omitted in anonymous version).

Article structure and word limits

  • Short communication should not be longer than 1500 words.
  • Review: These instructions will ensure we have everything required so your paper can move through peer review, production and publication smoothly.
Show 21 more
  • Authors should ensure that they read and adhere to the submission guidelines before preparing the manuscript.
  • It must have novel interesting findings and not a routine GC analysis of any essential oil.
  • For non-cultivated species, a voucher number should be provided upon the submission of plant material to the herbarium.
  • Authors should clearly indicate the names and suppliers of the standard compounds.
  • Summary of the findings should not be repeated.
  • Authors must provide the approval number as a part of the manuscript submission.
  • If such tools are used, a declaration must be included at the end of the manuscript stating the tool used and its purpose.
  • A declaration must be included within the submission stating: Originality and accuracy of content has been confirmed by the authors.
  • Authors must provide full methodological details and adhere to relevant reporting guidelines where applicable.
  • Authors must retain the original and revised versions which must be shared upon request.
  • The PLSP guidelines for authors must be followed at all times.
  • One copy should include author details, and the other should be submitted without any identifiable information ( Manuscripts that do not adhere to this requirement will be returned to the author ).
  • Review: Manuscripts that do not adhere to the following guidelines will be returned without review: Absence of Standard Drug in Biological Studies: Manuscripts presenting biological studies (in vitro or in vivo) must include a standard drug for comparison.
  • Review: Motivation for taking the review needs to be clear, and clearly bring out the novel insights gained.
  • The manuscript needs to have novelty component.
  • Authors need to correct them in three days failing which the MS will be published as it is.
  • Research Article: These describe techniques or original research related to essential oil bearing plants that is too narrow in scope to justify a regular research article, or report novel; information or observation for which replication is not possible immediately or additional data cannot be easily obtained.
  • Image Descriptions This journal requires image descriptions (alternative text, alt text), to be provided for all images conveying information necessary for an understanding of your work.
  • Image descriptions are typically used by systems such as pronouncing screen readers to make images accessible to people that cannot read or see the object due to a visual disability.
  • The origin of all plant materials needs to be specified, and if applicable, a voucher number obtained from the submission of plant material to the herbarium needs to be stated.
  • Review: Manuscripts that do not adhere to the following guidelines will be returned without review: Inadequate Plant Material Identification: Proper identification of plant material is essential.

Reporting guidelines

  • Include or confirm the reporting guidelines required by the journal. Articlo checks this item and flags anything that still needs author input.

Artificial intelligence disclosure
