Submissions to "Vegetable science" must not be previously published in or simultaneously submitted to any other scientific or technical journal. The editorial board does not undertake any responsibility to scrutinize regarding the approval of forward of papers by the Head of the Department or Institution. The responsibility for statements made in the papers whether of fact or opinion, rests entirely with the authors thereof. Authors must be member (Annual or life) of Indian Society of Vegetable Science before article is published in the journal.

Scope

Vegetable science course all aspects of vegetable research & development i.e. genetics, breeding, cytology, genomics, biotechnology, metabolism, physiology, ecology, quality, production technology, disease management, insect management, post harvest management, marketing, extension etc. Articles reporting research in vegetable crops or reviews or interpretation of such research will be accepted for review as papers. Short articles concerned with experimental techniques, apparatus, observation of unique phenomena will be accepted for review as short communications.

Submission procedures and preparation

lAl the manuscript should be submitted through on line (www.ISVS.org.in) or through email (editor.ISVS@gmail.com or editor@ISVS.org.in). Electronic submission substantially reduces the editorial processing and reviewing times and shorting overall publication times. Submit the document in common word file preferably Microsoft word.

Creating manuscript files: On first page give the title which should include short informative title of the article, the name(s) of the author(s), affiliation(s) and address(s) of the author(s), email address, telephone and fax number of corresponding author. An abstract is required and is normally second page of manuscript. Please provide an abstract of 150 to 250 words in English and Hindi both. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviation or unspecified references. Please provide 4 to 6 key words which can be used for indexing. After the title page and abstract, the usual order of section is Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and discussion, Acknowledgments (optional) and References followed by Figures, Figure captions, Tables. Start each section (including figures caption and tables) on a new page and number all pages. Please use internationally accepted signs, symbols or units, SI units.

Figures: Submit figures in high-resolution, TIFFS/EPS/JPG files. Photographs and drawings for graphs and charts should be prepared with good contrast of dark and light.

Tables: Prepare tables with the table feature of your word processer, do not use tab spaces or graphics boxes. Each datum needs to be contained in an individual cell. Numbers the tables consecutively. Table heads should be brief but complete and self-contained. Define all variables and spell out all abbreviations.

Always use the standard abbreviation of a Journal's name according to the ISSN list of title word abbreviations. For citing references, a recent issue of Journal vegetables science should be consulted. Some examples of reference citation are given bellow.
