The manuscripts must be prepared in double column format on A4 (210mm x 297mm or 8.3'' x 11.7'') paper size. The issue of the journal will be compiled from printed camera-ready manuscripts based on received files e-mailed to the Secretary.

 

Minimum five (5) and maximum ten (10) pages are allowed for each paper including paper title, author(s) (name, affiliation and e-mail), Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, text, figures, tables, Conclusions, Appendices, Nomenclatures, Acknowledgments, References and Biographies.

 

Expand number of the pages by adding more theoretic, application, simulation and description parts as well as tables and figures.

 

The margins on each A4 page must be as follows: top and bottom = 2.5 cm, left and right = 2 cm.

 

The width of each column and the column separation must be 8.2 and 0.6 cm, respectively.

Paper title must be typed in bold capital letters and centered on top of the first page.

 

All text bodies must be typed in 10pt and justified from both sides.

 

Each section headings must be typed in bold whole capital letters and centered on the respective columns which include numbering (1, 2, 3, ...) at the first starting from Introduction.

 

The numbering of section headings should be written to 1, 2, 3, ... instead of Roman system (I, II, III, IV, ...).

 

Abstract and Keywords are not included with numbers. Abstract letter before a dash (Abstract-) will be typed in bold and its text body is not bolded. Keywords letter before a colon (Keywords:) will be typed in bold and its text body is not bolded.

 

Address to all the references in Introduction and also other required sections.

 

The sub-sections will be written in bold and first capital letters with align text to left (left aligned) and included numbering (1, 2, 3, ...) after one blank line (10pt) directly from past paragraph.

 

The numbering of sub-sections should be written to 1, 2, 3, ... instead of alphabetical system (A, B, C, D, ...).

 

Improve typing errors and English language used in the paper.

 

The table titles and figure comments should be written centered at the top of the tables and the bottom of the figures, respectively. Other phrases instead of Table and Figure should not be used in main text and also table titles and figure comments.

 

The tables, figures, equations and references should consecutively beginning with 1. Only the equation numbers should be in the parentheses such as (1). Only the references numbers should be in the brackets such as [1].

 

The tables should be simple design, no highlighted and black color with border width of 0.5 pt.

 

Improve and retype the tables' contents. Tables in graphical status are not acceptable.

 

Improve the figures resolution in high quality mode. The figures with weak resolutions are not acceptable.

 

All the figures and photos of the author(s) should be included in the original with high quality and resolution (High Fidelity) of the contents.

 

Follow the following instructions 1-3 to get high quality figures:

1. Change the picture(s) resolution

Click File -> Options -> Advanced

Select:

Image Size and Quality

Default Resolution: High Fidelity

OK

2. Check out the picture(s) resolution

Click Picture Format -> Compress Pictures

Resolution: High Fidelity

3. If the picture(s) resolution is not High Fidelity then CHANGE it with high quality images.

 

- Just redraw the figures using the MS Word graphical tools to include the origin and high quality graphs in the paper.

- Redraw the Flowcharts and related Figure(s) using the MS WORD SHAPES tool (Insert >> Shapes and then Group all of the shapes) to improve the quality of the image.

- Redraw the Charts and related Figure(s) using the MS WORD CHART tool (Insert >> Chart) or DRAWING tool (Drawing Tools) to improve the quality of the image.

 

- Expand details and discussions of the paper in the Engineering Case Studies.

- Add more notes in discussions and extend the results based on the output figures, tables and outcome results.

- Compare the results and simulation outputs related to different close methods and verify the advantages and disadvantages.

  

Type the text in the figures. The hand written text, parameters and numbers in the figures are not acceptable.

  

Some of examples for correctly writing figures, tables, equations and references in the papers are as the following:

... Figure 1 ... Figures 2, 3 and 4 ... Figures 2-4 ...

... Table 1 ... Tables 2, 3 and 4 ... Tables 2-4 ...

... Equation (1) ... Equations (2), (3) and (4) ... Equations (2-4) ... Equations (2, 3 and 4) ...

... Reference [1] ... References [2], [3] and [4] ... References [2-4] ... References [2, 3 and 4] ...

 

The tables, figures, equations and references should consecutively beginning with 1. Only the equation numbers should be in the parentheses such as (1). Only the references numbers should be in the brackets such as [1].

 

Use the complete phrases of Equation, Figure and Table instead of Eq., Fig. and Tab. words.

 

Address all the used equations from the related original references.

 

Do not type the equations and parameters in MS WORD Equation Tools with Cambria Math font. Only use the MathType Equation Editor with Times New Roman font.

 

Define all of the parameters in the equations after their using "where" phrase OR in the Nomenclatures part in the end of the paper.

 

The tables should be simple design, no highlighted and no bolded with border width of 0.5 pt.

 

Appendices, Nomenclatures, Acknowledgments, References and Biographies of the author(s) (with the author's photo) at the end of the paper are with no numerals. Appendices, Nomenclatures and Acknowledgments are also free for using in the paper.

(WITHOUT DOI).

Example:

[1] A.B. Cdef, G. Hijk, L.M Nopqr, "The Title of the Paper or Book or Thesis or Report", Conference of Abcd, Journal of Efgh, Issue 1, Vol. 2, No. 3, pp. 4-10, City, Country, April 2021.

 

Use and address at least two references in your paper from the previous accepted papers in IJTPE journal issues published in the address www.iotpe.com/ijtpe.html .

 

Use new and updated references and address them in the body text.
