Scientia Pakistan Writing Policy 2025
Updated Dec 20, 2025. Welcome to scientiamag.org, a science magazine of Scientia Pakistan Private Limited, a registered company under the rules and regulations of the Government of Pakistan. Please read this writing policy before you collaborate on an edition or pitch content with our editorial team. You can print this page for your reference.
Scientia Pakistan’s website and the contents thereof are the property of and owned by Scientia Pakistan Organization and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other digital laws of Pakistan.
Scientia Pakistan grants you the right to display and electronically copy, download, and print hard copy versions of the material contained on the website for your personal and noncommercial use, provided you do not modify or delete any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice that appears on the material you copy, download, or print.
Main Points of Our Writing Policy
- Scientia Pakistan always encourages writers to submit fresh and unpublished content.
- In a few special cases, if a writer wishes to send us an article that has been previously published elsewhere, they must provide written permission from that publication. Failure to do so may result in the termination of your author account on Scientia’s website.
- We urge writers to pitch new and original ideas. In certain cases, a writer intends to revisit an old topic; it is essential to present a new perspective that will engage our audience. Otherwise, we see no reason to accept submissions on that topic.
Our editorial process has the following phases:
- Send us a pitch of 150/ 200 words about your concerned topic at: saadeqa@scientiamag.org or editorial@scientiamag.org
- The pitch should include all the main points and your resources. Specify whom you plan to talk to or interview for insights, such as the general public, experts, researchers, or scientists. Please clarify if you will rely solely on research papers or published articles. This will save both our time and yours, as we do not accept such content. We always encourage writers to put in their own effort.
- Our editorial team will review your pitch and respond with either approval or rejection within three days. If you do not receive a reply within this timeframe, please send us a follow-up email.
- Once your article is approved, we will provide you with the necessary guidelines.
Mandatory terms and conditions for Writers:
- Your article must be a minimum of 1,000 words. Plagiarism should be less than 10%, which applies only to quotes from research papers.
- The article should not be created with the assistance of AI tools.
- Please submit the article as a docx, ensuring that all references are included at the end for a fact-checking process. Do not send us PDFs.
- Data and statistics must be gathered from reputable sources; failing to provide proof of these sources may jeopardize our relationship with you.
- Include the relevant photographs, either created by you or sourced from the internet, provided they are copyright-free. Be sure to include the original links to these images.
- Photographs should not be inserted within the text; instead, place them between two paragraphs with appropriate captions and source attributions.
- You may face several rounds of editing with the editorial team, and we appreciate your patience during this process. However, failure to revise or edit according to the editor’s guidelines may lead to the termination of our relationship with you.
- Once your final draft is ready, our editor will let you know the publication date.
- In our bi-monthly editions, we first post the Edition cover and cover story. We publish one article daily, which means it may take some time for your article to be published. We appreciate your patience. After all the content for the edition is published, we will upload the entire edition in PDF format on our website.
