To create a structured abstract for the journal, please evaluate the following fields about your theme and this is besides the abstract that we ask. Abstracts should contain no more than 250-300 words. Write clearly and concisely. The abstract should reflect just what appears in the original report. |
| Materials and Methods | State all research methods adopted while writing and describe each method in detail. Sufficient information must be included to permit repetition of experimental work. For specialist equipment and materials the manufacturer (and if possible their location) should be stated. |
| Results and Discussions | Describe research results and outputs generated therefrom |
| Conclusion | Substantiate and highlight important conclusions along with their significance and relevant context |
| Acknowledgments (optional) | To be placed at the extreme end of the manuscript before stating references. Acknowledgements may include supporting grants, presentation and so on. |
| References | Citations must be numbered in square brackets. References must be arranged in order of citation texts – not alphabetically. Reference to journal articles, textbooks, chapters, conference papers, thesis or dissertation and patents must contain sufficient information |

Accepted Articles:
Within a short time of acceptance the manuscripts of articles are made publicly available online through the journal website. 'Accepted Articles' have been peer-reviewed and accepted for formal publication, but have not been subject to copyediting, composition or proof correction. The service ensures the earliest possible circulation of research papers after acceptance. Accepted Articles appear in PDF format only and are given a Digital Object Identifier, which allows them to be cited and tracked. The DOI remains unique to a given article in perpetuity.
(1) Summary: not exceeding 250-300 words.
(2) Introduction: describing the reasons for the current investigation and a brief summary of the existing literature
(3) Materials and Methods: sufficient information must be included to permit repetition of experimental work. For specialist equipment and materials the manufacturer (and if possible their location) should be stated.
(4) Results: these should be given concisely; the use of tables and figures to illustrate the same results will only rarely be allowed
(5) Discussion: the presentation of results should be separated from a discussion of their significance; this section should not repeat results
(6) Acknowledgements: this section should include details of author contributions (e.g X performed the experiments, Y designed the study, X & Y wrote the paper) and financial support.
(7) Conflict of Interest: all financial and commercial conflicts of interest should be disclosed. If there are none, this should be stated.

Material that is “in press” should be included in the reference list stating the journal in which it is to appear. However work denoted as “unpublished observations” or “to be published” should not appear in the reference list. In references the full title of the paper should be given along with the first and last page numbers.
The responsibility for the accuracy of bibliographic references rests entirely with the author. Enterprise will subscribe to Harvard Style for citation and referencing. Authors should cite publications in the text: (Peter, 2000) using the first author's name. At the end of the paper, a reference list in alphabetical order should be supplied.
