Abstract

What is an abstract? An abstract is a concise summary of a research paper or entire thesis. It is an original work, not an excerpted passage. An abstract must be fully self-contained and make sense by itself, without further reference to outside sources or to the actual paper.

Keywords:- Enter keywords up to 5 to 10 separated by commas in alphabetical order.

INTRODUCTION(Heading 1)

Insert text (Times New Roman font, size 10, and single-line spacing, contents should be pasted in Text only format). The Introduction follows immediately after the abstract and title section. Its main purpose is to offer the reader a clear understanding of the research problem, its context, and its significance. This section should briefly present the study within a broad context, explaining why it is important and necessary.

The Introduction should engage the reader by presenting the problem statement and outlining the goals the paper seeks to achieve or address. While it may briefly mention the key methodology and findings, it should avoid going into detailed explanations, as these will be covered in later sections such as Methodology and Results.

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION

Page Formatting (Heading 2)

The ideal margin size for all four edges should be 1 inch (2.54 cm). Use Times New Roman throughout. Apply single spacing throughout the body text, including block quotes, table titles, figure captions, and entries in the references section. Indent the first line of each paragraph by 1 cm, and apply 6-point spacing before and after.

Maintaining the Integrity of the Specifications

The template is intended to format your paper and style the text. All margins, column widths, line spacing, and text fonts are predefined; please do not modify them. It is crucial to adhere to the outlined structure as closely as possible. Please refrain from altering any of the existing designations.

GUIDELINES

Before you start formatting your paper, write and save the content in a separate text file. Finish all content and organizational editing before applying any formatting. Avoid changing font sizes or line spacing to fit more text within a limited number of pages. Use italics for emphasis, but refrain from underlining. Keep your text and graphic files separate until the text has been fully formatted and styled. Do not insert any pagination in the paper.

Abbreviations and Initialisms

Define abbreviations, initialism and acronyms the first time they appear in the text, even if they have already been defined in the abstract. An initialism is similar to an acronym, but instead of being pronounced as a word, it is pronounced letter by letter. Initialisms are formed by taking the first letters of a series of words. Avoid using abbreviations in the title or section headings unless absolutely necessary.

Equations

Equations are an exception to the template’s formatting rules. Use Times New Roman or Symbol font for equations (no other fonts). If you have complex equations, it may be necessary to treat them as graphics and insert them after the paper is styled.

Number equations consecutively, and place the equation number in parentheses, flush right (e.g., (1)), using a right tab stop. For compactness, use the solidus (/) or appropriate exponents. Italicize Roman symbols for variables and quantities, but leave Greek symbols in regular type. Use a long dash for a minus sign, not a hyphen. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when part of a sentence, as in:

Ensure that all symbols in your equation are defined before or immediately after the equation. Italicize symbols (T might refer to temperature, but T is the unit tesla). Use "(1)" rather than "Eq. (1)" or "equation (1)," except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is .. .”

APPLYING THE TEMPLATE

Once you have completed the text editing for your research article, it's time to apply the template. First, make a copy of the template file using the "Save As" command, and follow the naming convention provided by the journal for your article's filename. In the newly created file, select all of the content and import your prepared text. Now you are ready to format your article; use the formatting options available in your word processor, to apply the necessary styles.

Authors and Affiliations

A minimum of one author is required for all articles. Names should not be listed in columns nor group by affiliation. The author names and affiliations should appear directly below the title of the article in 10-point Times New Roman font, without bold or italics. This section must include the following details for each author: Author Name, Designation, Department, College, Place and Country. Ensure the information is formatted clearly and consistently.

Headings

Headings help organize the content and guide the reader through the paper. They ensure the paper flows logically and is easy to navigate. The Title of the paper should be in Times New Roman, 16 pt., boldface, and centred at the top of the first page.

Headings may be structured as follows;

For the Main Titles (Heading 3)

Use 12 pt., Bold, Uppercase, left-aligned. (e.g. I. HEADING 1)

For major sections

Use 10 pt., non-boldface, left-aligned. (e.g. A. Heading 2)

For subsections under major sections

Use 10 pt., non-boldface, use Arabic numerals. (e.g. 1. Heading 3)

For Sub-subheadings

Use 10 pt., italicized, non-boldface. (e.g. Heading 4)

Figures and Tables

Figures and tables should be positioned within the text as close as possible to where they are first referenced. They must be formatted to fit within the page margins and should be centred on the page to maintain a neat and uniform layout. Figures and tables should be numbered consecutively (e.g., Fig. 1, and Table 1).

Figure captions should be placed below the figure, while table captions should be placed above the table. Both captions must be in 9-point Times New Roman, centred, and non-bold. Source/Notes of figures and tables: 8-point size.

Citations

In-text citations are provided as numbers in square brackets. These numbers correspond to the order in which the sources are cited in the reference list. Each citation number is unique for the source and should be consistent throughout the document. Examples:

Single citation: "As stated in [1], the results were inconclusive."

Multiple citations: "Several studies [2], [3] have shown that this approach is effective."

Citation range: "The theory has been confirmed in various experiments [4]-[6]."

For references, follow IEEE style. Use Times New Roman, 9-point size. The references must be numbered sequentially in the order in which they are cited in the text. Each reference number should be enclosed in square brackets, such as [1], [2], etc. All references must be left-aligned with single line spacing between them. Only initials for the first names of authors should be used. For example, 'John Smith' would become 'J. Smith.' Additionally, write out 'vol.' for volume, 'no.' for number, and 'pp.' for pages. References are typically categorized into different types, here’s an example of how you might format it;

Format for a Journal Article:

[Reference Number] Author(s), "Title of the article," Title of the Journal, vol. number, no. number, pp. pages, Month, year.

[Reference Number] Author(s), "Title of article," Journal Name, vol. number, no. number, pp. pages, Month, year. doi: [DOI link].

Format for a Book :

[Reference Number] Author(s), Title of the Book, xth ed. City of Publisher, (only if necessary) Country: Publisher, year.

Format for a Book Chapter:

[Reference Number] Author(s) of the chapter, "Title of the chapter," in Title of the Book, xth ed., Editor(s), Ed. City of Publisher, Country: Publisher, year, pp. pages.

Format for a Conference Paper:

[Reference Number] Author(s), "Title of the paper," Conference Name, Location, Year, pp. pages.

Format for a Website:

[Reference Number] Author(s), "Title of the webpage," Website Name. [Online]. Available: URL. [Accessed: Month Day, Year].

CONCLUSION

Please provide the brief conclusion of the findings and suggestions. It should be clear, concise, and reflective of the work presented in the body of the paper. Briefly discuss the potential impact or significance of your findings, whether on the scientific community, industry, or real-world applications.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Acknowledgment section should be placed before the References section. The tone should be formal and concise. Avoid overly detailed personal thanks. The acknowledgment should be written in paragraph form; do not use bullets or numbered lists.
