Tables : Authors should exercise particular care in the preparation, notation and description of tables and figures. Tables should be included in the article file document. Make self- explanatory tables that do not duplicate the text. Number tables in Arabic numerals consecutively in the order of their first citation in the text and supply a brief title for each. Place explanatory matter in footnotes, not in the heading. Explain in footnotes all non-standard abbreviations.

Illustrations : Sketches/flow diagrams should be included in the article file document (MS-Word). Clinical and histopathology photographs should be uploaded online simultaneously at the time of submission of the manuscript (after scanning if printed) as JPEG files preferably of a size less than 4MB each. You may submit images in other permissible file formats as noted on the website, but make sure to include JPEG versions of the same images in addition as a consideration to our referees. We will use your high resolution images for publication but referees find it easier and quicker to download and view JPEG images. At the end of the legend for the JPEG images you may add the following remark: (for review, high resolution images submitted for publication). Submit images as individual files. If you believe the images would be better as a composite or collage, please submit the images both as single images and as a composite. An editorial decision will be taken on the appropriate format for publication in consultation with you. Type legends (maximum 20 words) for illustrations/figures using double line spacing. Use Arabic numerals for numbering illustrations which should be referred to in the text as “Figure…”. For histopathology photographs, please mention the magnification scale and the method of staining. Legends should also be incorporated in the article file after the references. Illustrations must be cited in the text and numbered in the order of mention. The IJARS reserves the right to crop, rotate, reduce, or enlarge images to an acceptable size. Please note that the high resolution images (resolution not less than 1200 X 2400 pixels and preferably of the JPEG type, at least 1 MB in size, maximum of 4 MB each) can now be uploaded at the time of original submission itself.
