Author Biography:
Authors now have the option to publish a biography together with the paper, with information such as MD/PhD degree, past and present positions, research interests, awards, etc. This increases the profile of the authors and is well received by international readers. See samples of author biography in previous UHDJST publications. The corresponding author should give the biography of all manuscript authors during registration.

Preparation of Figures:
Upon submission of an article, authors are supposed to include all figures and tables in the file of the manuscript. Figures should be supplied as a bitmap formats (TIF, GIF, JPEG, etc.). Bitmap images should be of 300 dpi resolution at least unless the resolution is intentionally set to a lower level for scientific reasons. If a bitmap image has labels, the image and labels should be embedded in separate layers.

Preparation of Tables:
Tables should be cited consecutively in the text. Every table must have a descriptive title and if numerical measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading. Vertical rules should not be used.

Equations:
Equations should be numbered consecutively.

English Grammar:
To save the time of our reviewers, authors are encouraged to use grammar check software or find the help of a native speaker to proofread the manuscript before submission.

Original Contribution:
The originality of the scientific contribution should be clearly stated in the manuscript.

Plagiarism:
Plagiarism Policy: The UHD Journal of Science and Technology is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and originality. As such, we do not tolerate plagiarism in any form. Authors submitting manuscripts to the journal must ensure that their work is entirely original and properly cited. Plagiarism, including self-plagiarism and the use of verbatim text from other sources without appropriate attribution, will result in immediate rejection of the submission. To maintain the integrity of scholarly research, all submissions undergo rigorous plagiarism checks using industry-standard software. Authors found to have engaged in plagiarism, at any stage before publication of the manuscript - before or after acceptance, during editing or at page proof stage, will be barred from submitting to the journal in the future. By submitting their work to the UHD Journal of Science and Technology, authors affirm that their manuscript is their own original work and that any borrowed content is properly cited.

Effective Writing:
Effective writing is readable — that is, clear, accurate, and concise. When you are writing a paper, try to get your ideas across in such a way that the audience will understand them effortlessly, unambiguously, and rapidly. To this end, strive to write in a straightforward way. There is no need to write about science in unusual, complicated, or overly formal ways in an effort to "sound scientific" or to impress your audience. If you can tell a friend about your work, you are off to a good start. (see more on this topic at nature.com).
