Format
1. All files should be submitted as a Word document (doc.*), A4 paper size.
2. Articles should be between 20000 and 40000 characters (incl. spaces).
3. Article Title to be submitted in native language and English. A title of not more than eight words should be provided.
Do Not Use Symbols, Special Characters, or Math in Paper Title or Abstract.
Author Details (in English and native language)
Details should be supplied on the Article Title Page including:
* Full name of each author
* Position, rank, academic degree
* Affiliation of each author, at the time the research was completed
* Full postal address of the affiliation
* E-mail address of each author and ORCID
Structured Abstract (in English and native language)
Abstract should be: informative (no general words), original, relevant (reflects your papers key content and research findings); structured (follows the logics of results presentation in the paper), concise (between 250 and 300 words).
* Purpose (mandatory)
* Design/methodology/approach (mandatory)
* Findings (mandatory)
* Research limitations/implications (if applicable)
* Practical implications (if applicable)
* Social implications (if applicable)
* Originality/value (mandatory)
It is appropriate to describe the research methods/methodology if they are original or of interest for this particular research. For papers concerned with experimental work describe your data sources and data procession technique.
Describe your results as precisely and informatively as possible. Include your key theoretical and experimental results, factual information, revealed interconnections and patterns. Give special priority in your abstract to new results and long-term impact data, important discoveries and verified findings that contradict previous theories as well as data that you think have practical value.
Conclusions could be associated with recommendations, estimates, suggestions, hypotheses described in the paper.
Information contained in the title should not be dublicated in the abstract . Try to avoid unnecessary introductory phrases (e.g. the author of the paper considers).
Use the language typical of research and technical documents to compile your abstract and avoid complex grammatical constructions. The text of the abstract should include key words of the paper.
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 ITU, GSM, and ETSI 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).
• 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 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.”
Equations
The equations are an exception to the prescribed specifications. 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, 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. Make equations in MathTipe programm.
Keywords (in English and native language)
Please provide up to 5 keywords on the Article Title Page, which encapsulate the principal topics of the paper.
Figures and Tables
Place figures and tables at the top and bottom of columns. Avoid placing them in the middle of columns. Large figures and tables may span across both columns. Figure captions should be below the figures; table heads should appear above the tables. Insert figures and tables after they are cited in the text. Use the abbreviation “Fig. 1,” even at the beginning of a sentence.
All figures should be of high quality, legible and numbered consecutively with arabic numerals. All figures (charts, diagrams, line drawings, web pages/screenshots, and photographic images) should be submitted in electronic form preferably in color as separate files, that match the following parameters:
References
References to other publications must be in Harvard style and carefully checked for completeness, accuracy and consistency.
In article you will number citations consecutively within brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation follows the bracket [1]. Refer simply to the reference number, as in [1]—do not use “Ref. [1]” or “reference [1]” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [1] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited. Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes.
Unless there are six authors or more give all authors’ names; do not use “et al.”. Papers that have not been published, even if they have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished”. Papers that have been accepted for publication should be cited as “in press”. Capitalize only the first word in a paper title, except for proper nouns and element symbols.
For papers published in translation journals, please give the English citation first, followed by the original foreign-language citation.
Some Common Mistakes
• The word “data” is plural, not singular.
• In American English, commas, semi-/colons, 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). (A parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.)
• A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you really mean something that alternates).
• Do not use the word “essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.”
• In your paper title, if the words “that uses” can accurately replace the word using, capitalize the “u”; if not, keep using lower-cased.
• Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect” and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.”
• Do not confuse “imply” and “infer.”
• The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a hyphen.
• There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.”
• The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.”
