For Manuscript Preparation and Submission, follow the guidelines as per ICMJE

• Sending the Manuscript to the Journal
• Conflict of Interest Declaration - www.icmje.org/coi_disclosure.pdf.  All authors must complete COI as prescribed by ICMJE and send it to corresponding author. It is mandatory to submit COI form along with Manuscript.
• ARRIVE 2010 checklist for animal studies (Papers dealing with Animal Studies)
• ARRIVE 2010 checklist for Clinical Trials (Clinical trial based papers)

Additional Guidelines

Authors reporting in vivo animal experiments and clinical trials are encouraged to refer to one of our associated journal "Journal of Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapeutics) about the ARRIVE guidelines (http://www.jpharmacol.com/text.asp?2010/1/2/94/72351) and the CONSORT statement (http://www.jpharmacol.com/text.asp?2010/1/2/100/72352) respectively and use the checklists given within them to improve the quality of the manuscripts. The checklists (Animal Experiments,  Clinical Trial) must be downloaded, filled in and submitted along with the manuscripts. This would not only help the authors to include all the important information while preparing the manuscript but also speed up the peer review process.
