Abstract

An abstract is a concise summary of a research paper or an entire thesis and must be limited to a maximum of 250 words. It must be fully self-contained and make sense on its own.

Keywords: - up to 5 to 10, separated by commas

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 should give a brief precise of the study in a broad context and highlight why it is important and necessary. It should give a general background of the study, define a problem, emphasize the purpose/justification for its execution, and provide a clear and concise study objective.

The Introduction should be comprehensible and connect the points mentioned above with a dynamic flow of reading, making it available to scientists outside of the specific research field. Citations should be given in parentheses, using only the last name of the first author followed by the year, without commas or periods.

EASE OF USE

Selecting a Template (Heading 2)

First, confirm that you have the correct template for your paper size. This template has been tailored for output on the A4 paper size.

Maintaining the Integrity of the Specifications

The template is used to format your paper and style the text. All margins, column widths, line spaces, and text fonts are prescribed; please do not alter them. You may note peculiarities. Please do not revise any of the current designations.

PREPARE YOUR PAPER BEFORE STYLING

Before you begin to format your paper, first write and save the content as a separate text file. Complete all content and organizational editing before formatting. Please note sections A-D below for more information on proofreading, spelling and grammar.

Keep your text and graphic files separate until after the text has been formatted and styled. Do not use hard tabs, and limit use of hard returns to only one return at the end of a paragraph. Do not add any kind of pagination anywhere in the paper. Do not number text heads-the template will do that for you.

Abbreviations and Acronyms

Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even after they have been defined in the abstract. Abbreviations such as, SI, MKS, CGS, sc, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title or heads unless they are unavoidable.

Units

Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units are encouraged.) English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive”.

Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each quantity that you use in an equation.

Do not mix complete spellings and abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter”, not “webers/m2”. Spell out units when they appear in text: “. . . a few henries”, not “. . . a few H”.

Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25”, not “.25”. Use “cm3”, not “cc”. (bullet list)

Equations if any

The equations are an exception to the prescribed specifications of this template. You will need to determine whether or not your equation should be typed using either the Times New Roman or the Symbol font (please no other font). To create multileveled equations, it may be necessary to treat the equation as a graphic and insert it into the text after your paper is styled.

Number equations consecutively. Equation numbers, within parentheses, are to position flush right, as in (1), using a right tab stop. To make your equations more compact, you may use the solidus ( / ), the exp function, or appropriate exponents. Italicize Roman symbols for quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use a long dash rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a sentence, as in:

ab	

Note that the equation is centered using a centre tab stop. Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined before or immediately following the equation. Use “(1)”, not “Eq. (1)” or “equation (1)”, except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is . . .”

In-text citations

Please use APA 7th edition referencing style with parenthetical in-text citations only. In-text citations include the author's last name and year of publication. For paraphrasing or summarizing, use the format (Author, Year), like (Smith, 2020). For two authors, use an ampersand: (Smith & Johnson, 2020). For three or more authors, use "et al.": (Smith et al., 2020). If there's no author, cite the title in place of the author’s name: ("Climate Change," 2020).

Some Common Mistakes

In American English, commas, semicolons, periods, question and exclamation marks are located within quotation marks only when a complete thought or name is cited, such as a title or full quotation. When quotation marks are used, instead of a bold or italic typeface, to highlight a word or phrase, punctuation should appear outside of the quotation marks. A parenthetical phrase or statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.”.

USING THE TEMPLATE

After the text edit has been completed, the paper is ready for the template. Duplicate the template file by using the Save As command, and use the naming convention prescribed by your conference for the name of your paper. In this newly created file, highlight all of the contents and import your prepared text file. You are now ready to style your paper; use the scroll down window on the left of the MS Word Formatting toolbar.

Authors and Affiliations

Author names should be placed directly below the main title and centered on the page. Each author's affiliation should be listed along with their name, separated by commas. Use a consistent font and size for both authors and affiliations.

Example: Author's name, Designation, Department, Institution, Place, Country.

Figures and Tables

Positioning Figures and Tables:(Heading 3)

Figure captions should be placed above the figure, and table captions should be placed above the table. Both captions must be in 9-point Times New Roman, non-bold. Any sources or notes related to the figure or table should be placed below the figure or table in 8-point Times New Roman, ensuring clarity and proper formatting. Figures and tables should be numbered consecutively (e.g.: Fig. 1: or Table 1.).

CONCLUSION

Please provide the brief conclusion of the findings and suggestions. Short conclusion wraps up the main ideas and gives a final reflection on the topic.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT (if Any)
