Innovative Publication is a publisher of open-access journals. All submitted manuscripts are managed by Manuscript Peer-Review Process called MPRP as a rapid and rigorous double-blind peer-reviewed, manuscript handling, and editorial process. In this platform, all authors, reviewers, editors, and editorial office works on a single platform.
A manuscript submission checklist is necessary during the final submission of an article before sending it to the journal for the peer-review process.
The author has obtained copyright material permission.
Manuscript Submission Process
All manuscripts must be submitted online at www.mprp.in. The submitting author, who is generally the corresponding author, is responsible for the manuscript during the submission and peer-review process. The submitting author must ensure that all eligible co-authors have been included in the author list read the authorship qualify criteria and that they have all read and approved the submitted version of the manuscript, To submit your manuscript, first-time users click the register button from the submission portal. On successful registration, you will receive an email verification mail and after confirmation, you will be able to log in as an author you can directly log in by using your credentials (Username-Registered mail ID & Password) or you can directly Sign in with Google or ORCID ID.

Manuscript Preparation
Cover Letter
Cover Letters must be included with each manuscript submission and it should be concise and explain why the content of the paper is significant and find the context of existing work. It should explain the manuscript is suitable for the scope of the journal. The cover letter should prove the following details:
Title Page Information
The Title page should carry
Structured Abstracts: The abstract should be provided with a maximum of 150 -250 words with subheadings: Background, Methods, Results, Conclusion, and Keywords.
Background: The background for the study should state the study’s purpose, basic procedures, main findings and principal conclusions. It should emphasize new and important aspects of the study and observation.
Methods: Methods describe briefly the main methods or treatments applied and include relevant preregistration numbers and species and strains of any animals used.
Results: Results are presented in logical sequence in table, text, and figures, giving the main and most important findings. Emphasize or summarise only the most important observations, do not use replicate all the data, tables, figures, and text. Summarize the article’s main findings only.
Conclusion: conclusion indicates the interpretations with the goal of the study but avoids unqualified statements and the abstract should be an objective representation of the article. It must not consider results that are not presented and substantiated in the main text and should not exaggerate the main conclusions.
Keywords: Keywords need to be added after the abstract and we recommended that the keywords are specific to the article and within the subject discipline. Keywords are used for indexing purposes and abbreviations established in the field may be eligible.
Acknowledgements: Acknowledgement of grants, funds, person, and support in a separate section at the end of the article before the reference and include them on the title page as a footnote to the title or otherwise.
Introduction: The introduction should `be briefly placed in a broad context and highlight why it is important. It should define the purpose of the work and its significance including specific and previous studies in the area. The current state of the research clearly described the purpose of the study, the tested hypothesis, and its aim and scope. Finally, briefly mention the main aim of the work and highlight the main conclusions. Keep the introduction comprehensible to scientists working outside the topic of the research paper.
Materials and Methods: The Methods section should only include information that was available at the time the study was planned or the protocol written; all information obtained during the conduct of the study belongs to the results section. New methods and protocols should be described in detail while well-established methods can be briefly described and appropriately cited. Give the name and version of any software used and make clear where the computer code used is available. A statement indicating that the research was approved by an independent local, regional and national level.

It is expected that review articles are written by individuals who have done substantial work on the subject or are considered experts in the field. Review articles should address a focused topic, issue, or question. They should be balanced and up-to-date. They should not simply restate the literature but rather interpret and integrate the findings to provide a framework for understanding the literature on a particular topic. A short summary of the work done by the authors in the field of review should accompany the manuscript. The author submitting a review article should include a section describing the methods used for locating, selecting, extracting, and synthesizing data. Methods should be summarized in the form of an abstract.

We recommend that clinical trials are prospectively registered in a public domain database and clinical trial registration numbers should be mentioned in all papers that report their results. Authors are asked to provide the name of the trial register and the clinical trial registration number in the manuscript. If a clinical trial is not registered or registered retrospectively, the reason must be provided at the time or before the time of the patient first enrolment as a condition of consideration for publication.
Journal follows the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) guidelines. We strongly encouraged authors to pre-registration clinical trials with international clinical trials register and cite a reference to the registration in the method section. A suitable database must be included and requires a complete consolidation of standard reporting trials as per CONSORT minimum guidelines for publication. Suitable databases include http://ctri.nic.in/Clinicaltrials/login.php and those listed by the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform
Authors are required to submit approval to conduct a study from a local and independent, regional, national authority. Journal reserves the right to reject a paper without trial registration for further peer-review process. Reports of randomized clinical trials should present information on all major studies, including the protocol, assignment of interventions, based on the CONSORT statement.
Specific Study Designs and Reporting Guidelines
Journal requires a complete CONSORT 2010 Checklist key document and CONSORT 2010 flow diagram, as a condition of submission of reporting the results of the randomized clinical trial. The author can find templates of these reporting guidelines on the CONSORT website www.consort-statement.org. Authors are also referred to the EQUATOR network for further information on the available reporting guidelines for health research. Various other checklists are available for various study designs. We encourage our authors to follow the guidelines of SAGER's “Sex and Gender Equity in Research” rationale for the SAGER guidelines and recommend use whenever it is relevant. Authors should describe in the background, whether sex and gender differences may be expected. If sex and gender analysis were not conducted, the rationale should be given in the discussion part. Journal suggest the author follow full guidelines of SAGER.

These services can be carried out by Innovative Author Services. Professional editing will enable reviewers and future readers to easily read and assess the content of submitted manuscripts. All accepted manuscripts undergo language editing, however, a fee will be charged to the author if very extensive English correction must be made by Editorial Office: Pricing is according to the services.
