The NSC's research repository initiative --Himalayan Research Papers Archive-- is designed to showcase academic research work on the Himalayan region, Nepal and the countries in South Asia. Cross-country analysis will be highly encouraged.

The topics are broadly defined to cover development, democracy, conflict and the environment. Researchers from around the world are urged to upload their manuscript and working papers.

This portal links these papers to the open resository Dspace system of the Universoity of New Mexico. The Dspace repository gets distributed across the globe to hundreds of universities and libraries.

3. A few keywords at the bottom of the abstract page.
4. Third page: The actual article should begin from the third page.
5. Word document: (double-spaced; 12 point Times New Roman fonts; Put all the tables, graphs and chart at the end of the paper, not in the main body; use endnotes not footnotes; do not format your paper except inserting page numbers and footnotes)
