Changes to authorship
This policy concerns the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names in the authorship of accepted manuscripts:
Before the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue: Requests to add or remove an author, or to rearrange the author names, must be sent to the Journal Manager from the corresponding author of the accepted manuscript and must include: (a) the reason the name should be added or removed, or the author names rearranged and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, fax, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of adding or removing authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed. The Journal Manager will forward requests that the corresponding author does not send to the corresponding author, who must follow the procedure as described above. Note that:
(1) Journal Managers will inform the Journal Editors of any such requests, and
(2) publication of the accepted manuscript in an online issue is suspended until authorship has been agreed.
After the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue, any requests to add, delete, or rearrange author names in an article published in an online issue will follow the same policies noted above and result in a corrigendum.
The Abstract of the manuscript should be formed like this guidance:
Abstract
The abstract should be in one paragraph. The font is Times New Roman, 10 pt, italic, and justify. Abstract is in 100-200 words, which is followed by 5-7 keywords. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. A well-prepared abstract enables the reader to identify the basic content of a document quickly and accurately, to determine its relevance to their interests, and thus to decide whether to read the document in its entirety. The abstract should be informative and completely self-explanatory, provide a clear statement of the problem, the proposed approach or solution, and point out major findings and conclusions. References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Standard nomenclature should be used, and non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. No literature should be cited.
Keywords: …………, …………, …………. (3-7 words and/or phrases)
INTRODUCTION (Font size: 10, Times New Roman, bold, and Capital Letters)
State the objectives of your work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Explicitly state the gap in the literature, which signifies the significance of your research. Upon receipt of paper submission, the Editor sends an e-mail of confirmation to the corresponding author within two weeks. If you fail to receive this confirmation, your submission/email may be missed. No submission charge should be paid at this stage. We use double-blind system for peer-review; both reviewers and authors’ identities remain anonymous. The paper will be peer-reviewed by two experts. The review process may take 1-2 months. Notification of the result of review is by email (Times New Roman, Font size: 10, Singled spacing).
According to Engelmore and Morgan, manuscript content should, in general, be organized in the following order: Title; Authors Name; Authors Affiliation; Abstract; Keywords; Introduction; Materials and Methods; Results and Discussion; Conclusions; Acknowledgments; and References. Manuscript document submitted to this journal (in one MS Word or PDF file) should be arranged as follow:
- a) Body text of manuscript article (from Title to References, including the display of tables and figures)
- b) Figure Captions and Table Captions
- c) Figures (one figure per page)
- d) Tables (one table per page)
Body Text
The body of the text is a set of body text paragraphs defined as follows:
10 pt Times New Roman
One space
RESEARCH METHOD (Font size: 10, Times New Roman, bold, and Capital Letters)
This section explains the rationale for the application of specific approaches, methods, procedures or techniques used to identify, select, and analyze information applied to understand the research problem/project, thereby, allowing the readers to critically evaluate your project’s/study's overall validity and reliability. (Times New Roman, Font size: 10).
RESULTS & DISCUSSION (Font size: 10, Times New Roman, bold, and Capital Letters)
The discussion is written to interpret and describe the significance of your findings in light of what was already known about the issues being investigated, and to explain any new understanding or insights about the problem after you have taken the findings into consideration. It should connect to the introduction by way of the research questions or hypotheses you posed and the literature you reviewed, but it does not simply repeat or rearrange the introduction; this section should always explain how your study has moved the reader's understanding of the research problem forward from where you left them at the end of the introduction.
The research findings in the form of research data are further discussed or critically interpreted with a particular relevant theoretical approach. Data can also be supported with the presentation of tables, images, etc. Captions for table are written above it with sequenced numbering so that it can be easily referred to, though not put under the pointing sentence/ paragraph. Captions for images are placed below the picture, also with providing sequenced numbering. One page only accommodates a table or an image with a maximum of two-thirds the size of the page (size adjusted as efficiently as possible). (Times New Roman, Font size: 10).
Tables
Tables are sequentially numbered with the table title and number above the table. Tables should be centered in the column or on the page. Tables should be followed by a line space (10pt). Elements of a table should be single-spaced, however double spacing can be used to show groupings of data or to separate parts within the table. Table headings should be in 10pt bold. Tables are referred to in the text by the table number. eg: Table 1. Do not show a vertical line in the table. Only horizontal lines should be shown within the table.
Figures
Figures are sequentially numbered commencing at 1 with the figure title and number below the figure as shown in Figure 1. Detailed recommendations for figures are as follows:
Ensure that figures are clear and legible with typed lettering.
Black & white or colored figures are allowed.
If a figure spans two columns, it should be placed at the top or bottom of a page.
Hard copy illustrations should, preferably, be scanned and included in the electronic version of the submission in an appropriate format as follows:
- BMP - Microsoft bitmap file
- WMF - Windows Metafile Format
- EPS - Encapsulated Postscript
If figures cannot be scanned, the original should be placed in its location within the manuscript using wax or colorless glue.
The following files are permissible:
- Microsoft Graph
- Microsoft Draw
CONCLUSION (Font size: 10, Times new Roman, bold, and Capital Letters)
Provide a statement that what is expected, as stated in the "INTRODUCTION" section can ultimately result in "RESULTS AND DISCUSSION" section, so there is compatibility. Moreover, it can also be added to the prospect of the development of research results and application prospects of further studies into the next (based on result and discussion) (Times New Roman, Font size: 10).
Acknowledgments
Put the wording arrangement of Acknowledgement in this section. for example: The researchers would like to gratefully acknowledge the Rector of …and Prof …for their support and grant given in finishing this research.
REFERENCE
The main references are international journals and proceedings. All references should be to the most pertinent, up-to-date sources and the minimum of references are 25 entries (for original research paper) and 50 entries (for review/survey paper). References are written in IEEE style. A more complete guide can be accessed at (http://ipmuonline.com/guide/refstyle.pdf). Use a tool such as EndNote, Mendeley, or Zotero for reference management and formatting, and choose IEEE style. Please use a consistent format (10 pt).
