Authors/Contributors are required to submit plagiarism report of an authenticated Plagiarism Checking software (such as Turnitin) along with the article/paper. The percentage should not be more than 10%.
2. Abstract
An Abstract of not less than 300 words should be given at the beginning of each chapter.
3. Keywords
Minimum five keywords are required. Arrange in alphabetical order
4. Figures
Figures/photographs should be of minimum 300 dpi
Try to limit the no. of figures/photographs to 10 for each chapter
Every Figure must be cited in the text. Figures should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals.
When referring to a figure in the text, write out the word “Figure” and use the number (e.g., Figure 1). A caption with the figure number and title and/or description must be included below each figure.
Source must be mentioned after the Figure caption; Figures/Images obtained from the unauthenticated source should not be included.
5. Tables
Any table that cannot be reproduced as keyable text will be processed as a graphic. Tables in which the table body is extensive may be split into more than one piece. If necessary, SPA Bhopal Press Production will rotate the table on the page. Do not use shading or colored fonts.
Every table must be cited in the text. Tables should be numbered consecutively. When referring to a table in the text, write out the word “Table” and use the number (e.g., Table 1). Each table should have a title, beginning with the word “Table”, followed by a short descriptive title. Table titles should be placed immediately above the table.
Source must be mentioned after the Table caption
5. References
For reference citations and Reference List, please check the provided style guide.
6. Permissions
If you reproduce, adapt or use in part tables, figures, illustrations, photos, or extensive quotations that you did not create in your chapter, you must obtain appropriate written permission and provide copies of the correspondence to SPA Bhopal Press. This section describes what does and does not require permission, how to obtain permission, and how to credit permitted materials in your chapter.
Publication of your chapter will not be considered until all written permissions are received by SPA Bhopal Press. Failure to provide permissions will result in your chapter being declined from publication.
What Needs Permission
Any table, diagram, or illustration (line drawing, artwork, or photograph) that you did not create.
