1. Introduction
Pratibodh is a biannual journal publishing the finest
peer-reviewed research in fields of Civil Engineering &
Mechanical Engineering on the basis of its originality,
interdisciplinary interest, importance, timeliness,
elegance, accessibility and conclusions.
The sole aim of this journal is to serve researchers,
academicians & students through publication of
significant advances in fields of Civil & Mechanical
Engineering, and to provide a forum for the reporting
and discussion.
Pratibodh is a word from one of the ancient
languages "Sanskrit" which means
knowledge or Perception.
Pratibodh believes that this template should help you
in authoring your paper in this mentioned format. The
aim of this template is not to force you to fill in this
format in bits and pieces, but this template should help
you to make your paper in a organized manner.
The objective of this template is to enable you in an
easy way to style your article attractively. It should be
emphasized, however, that the final appearance of your
paper in print and in electronic media will very likely
vary to greater or lesser extent from the presentation
achieved in this Word document.
In this template, the font used is “Cambria” with a
font size of 10 only (excluding reference). The
headings are to be typed in “bold” and the remaining
text is in normal font. Try to avoid underlining the
lines or words, if it is mandatory then you can use
that.
2. Organization of the Template
This template Word file (file name ending .docx) is a
“most” common format which is used for documents.
Pratibodh suggests you not to make any changes in the
style of the format. The template chooses the most
appropriate next font style, e.g. after the style for
authors’ names, you will automatically be in the
affiliation style. After a section heading, the template will
automatically switch to normal paragraph style, but you
need to adjust all these using the menu options.
2.1 Entering text
There are several ways in which you can enter and
format your text in this template. The first way is to
simply type your text in a blank document based on this
template.
The other way is, if you have already typed the
document in any other file then you can simply copy the
text from that document and paste special as “Text Only”
so that the format of this template will not be affected.
Try to use the template in “Print Layout” mode at 100%
so that you will get the actual layout which is going to be
uploaded on website. Make sure that the page size is of
A4. If it is not set already then you can set the page to A4
Size with the following. Click on File > Print > Select A4
and do select narrow margins for the template.
Pratibodh suggests you to keep the source formatting
of this document as it is. You can simply copy the data
from your paper and paste it in this template. You should
format it properly before submitting of article.
3. The first page
Your Paper should start with a concise and
informative title. Avoid use of abbreviations in it. List all
authors with their first names or initials and surnames
(in that order). Indicate the author for correspondence.
After having listed all authors’ names, you should list
their respective affiliations. Link authors and affiliations
using superscript lowercase letters.
3.1 The Abstract
An Abstract is required for every paper; it should
succinctly summarize the reason for the work, the main
findings, and the conclusions of the study. The abstract
should be no longer than 100 words. Do not include
images, graphs, tables, elaborate equations or references
to other parts of the paper or to the reference listing at
the end.
The reason is that the Abstract should be understandable
in itself to be suitable for storage in textual information
retrieval systems.
Include 5–7 keywords which are related to the paper in
the mentioned format only. Use keywords one below the
other. e.g.
Diesel Engine
Four stroke Engine
Pressure variation
Biodiesel
Smoke meter
4. The main text
You will usually want to divide your article into
numbered sections. You can use subsections also if
required. You can modify the number of sections as you
per the requirement of article. The section takes the next
number automatically. In some if it is not auto numbered
then kindly use format painter for the text and numbers
also.
Ensure that all tables, figures and schemes are cited in
the text in numerical order. Trade names should have an
initial capital letter, and trademark protection should be
acknowledged in the standard fashion, using the
superscripted characters for trademarks and registered
trademarks respectively. All measurements and data
should be given in SI units where possible, or other
internationally accepted units. Abbreviations should be
used consistently throughout the text, and all
nonstandard abbreviations should be defined on first
usage. Authors are requested to draw attention to
hazardous materials or procedures by adding the word
CAUTION followed by a brief descriptive phrase and
literature references if appropriate. The experimental
information should be as concise as possible, while
containing all the information necessary to guarantee
reproducibility
4.1 Tables, figures and schemes
Schemes, Images and Tables should be numbered.
Structures in schemes should also be numbered
consecutively, for ease of discussion and reference in the
text.
Figure 1. Stage of Four Stroke Engine
2 | Page
Graphs and images can be inserted using the ‘Insert’
options in the ‘Tools’ menu. Depending on the amount of
detail, you can choose to display images/graphs in one
column or across the page (with 300 dpi). Scale your
image/graph in your graphics program before
incorporating it in your text. If the images/graphs turn
out to be too large or too small, resize it again in your
graphics program and re-import it or use the sizing
handles at the corner of the images/graphs. The text
should not run along the sides of any figure. If it does,
right-click the figure, choose ‘Format Object (Figure)’,
choose the ‘Wrapping’ tab and select ‘Top & bottom’.
Images/graphs are normally linked to, and moves with, a
paragraph it is linked to. A small anchor symbol should
indicate the paragraph to which it is linked. If you do not
see the anchor, choose from the ‘Tools’ menu, ‘Options…’,
and click the ‘View’ tab. Tick the ‘Object anchors’ tick
box. You can move the figure itself by dragging but you
can also drag the anchor.
You might find positioning your images/graphs within
the text difficult anyway. In that case you may choose to
place all images/graphs at the end of the text and insert a
marker in the text at the desired place. In any case,
please keep in mind that the placement of
images/graphs may vary somewhat in relation to the
page lay-out.
You need to insert a caption below the figure or
scheme. To keep the drawing and caption more easily
together, select them both (hold down the <SHIFT> key
and click both figure and caption) and choose, under the
right mouse button, Grouping. Graphs may appear either
on a fixed spot in the text, e.g. Figure 1. Stages of four
stroke Engine, or ‘floating’, normally a figure or scheme
with a caption, which remains in the same place on the
page regardless of the text flowing around it. To choose
between the two options, right-click the graph, choose
‘Format object’, choose the ‘Position’ tab and tick or clear
the ‘Float over text’ tick-box. If grouped with a caption, a
figure will always be floating.
For tables, if content of the table can be fitted in one
column only then you can add as follows. Ensure that the
table has heading above it.

No. Biodiesel a l
1 PKB 20 10 10 80
2 PKB 30 35 35 70
3 PKB 60 30 30 40
If the content of the table is large enough such that it
cannot be fitted in a two-column format then you can use
one column method to adjust the whole table. (Check
reference Table on next page)
4.1 List
For tabular summations that do not deserve to be
presented as a table, lists are often used. Lists may be
either numbered or bulleted. Below you see examples of
both.
1. The first entry in this list
2. The second entry
2.1. A subentry
3. The last entry
● A bulleted list item

You can use the Bullets and Numbering options in the
‘Formatting’ toolbar of Word to create lists. Note that
you should first block the whole list.

You can use the Bullets and Numbering options in the
‘Formatting’ toolbar of Word to create lists. Note that
you should first block the whole list.

4.2 Equations
Conventionally, in mathematical equations, variables
and anything that represents a value appear in italics,
while chemical equations are displayed in roman, except
for positional prefixes. You may choose to number
equations for easy referencing. In that case the number
should appear at the right margin. You can type your
equations and use the symbols in the Word equation
editor or in MathType™. One of the examples is as
follows which is typed with the Word.

a × b=c … … … … … … .(i)

Bibliography
References and notes in the text should be indicated by
superscript Arabic numerals that run consecutively
through the paper and appear after any punctuation.
Authors should ensure that all references are cited in the
text and vice versa. Authors are expected to check the
original source reference for accuracy. Journal titles
should be abbreviated according to American
Psychological Association guidelines (APA). Inclusive
pagination is strongly recommended. See examples for
journal articles 1. Theses 2 books 3,4 and patents 5
shown in the References section.
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments should be inserted at the end of the
paper, before the references, not as a footnote to the title.
Use the unnumbered Acknowledgements Head style for
the Acknowledgments heading.
