Author Guidelines

Welcome to the IJTEMS Submission Portal.

To ensure rapid peer review and high-quality publication, authors must strictly adhere to the guidelines below. Manuscripts that fail to follow these instructions will be returned to the author without review.

1. Submission Overview

  • Submission Method: All manuscripts must be submitted via our Online Submission System (Submit here).

  • File Format: We accept Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) or LaTeX.

  • Language: Manuscripts must be written in grammatically correct English.

    • Note: Non-native speakers are strongly encouraged to use a professional proofreading service or a native speaker colleague to review their manuscript prior to submission.

2. Double-Blind Peer Review (Crucial)

IJTEMS follows a strict Double-Blind review process. To facilitate this, authors must submit two separate files:

  1. The Title Page (File 1): Contains the Article Title, All Author Names, Affiliations, Email Addresses, ORCID IDs, Acknowledgments, and Conflict of Interest statements.

  2. The Main Manuscript (File 2): Contains the Title, Abstract, Keywords, and Main Text (Introduction through References). NO author names or affiliations should appear in this file.

3. Manuscript Structure

The manuscript should be organized in the following order:

A. Title

Concise and informative. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.

B. Abstract

  • Limit: 150–250 words.

  • Content: The abstract must be self-contained. It should briefly state the Purpose, Methodology, Principal Results, and Major Conclusions.

  • Constraint: Do not cite references or use undefined abbreviations in the abstract.

C. Keywords

Provide 4 to 6 keywords immediately following the abstract. These are essential for indexing (Scopus/Google Scholar).

D. Introduction

Provide background, define the problem, and clearly state the objectives of the work. Cite relevant and recent literature to justify the novelty of the study.

E. Materials and Methods

Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference.

F. Results and Discussion

Results should be clear and concise. The Discussion should explore the significance of the results, not merely repeat them. Combined "Results and Discussion" sections are permitted.

G. Conclusions

A short section summarizing the main findings and their implications.

H. References

(See Section 5 below).

4. Technical Formatting

  • Font: Times New Roman, 12 pt.

  • Spacing: Double-spaced (to allow room for reviewer comments).

  • Page Numbers: Number all pages consecutively.

  • Units: The International System of Units (SI Units) must be used.

  • Equations: Must be editable text (use the Equation Editor in Word), not images. Number equations consecutively in parentheses, e.g., (1).

                                                                   E = mc2

5. Figures and Tables

  • Resolution: Images must be high quality.

    • Photographs/Micrographs: 300 DPI

    • Line Art/Graphs: 600 DPI

  • Captions: Every figure and table must have a descriptive caption.

    • Correct: Figure 1: Thermal conductivity variation with temperature.

    • Incorrect: Figure 1: Graph of results.

  • Citation: All figures/tables must be cited in the text (e.g., "As shown in Figure 2...").

6. Reference Style (IEEE Standard)

IJTEMS strictly follows the IEEE Citation Style. References must be numbered in square brackets [1] in the order they appear in the text.

In-text Citation:

"Recent studies [1], [2] have shown that nanofluids enhance heat transfer. However, Smith et al. [3] argued that..."

Reference List:

  • Journal Article:

    [1] A. B. Author and C. D. Author, "Title of the article," Name of the Journal, vol. 10, no. 2, pp. 100-110, 2024. [DOI URL]

  • Conference Paper:

    [2] A. Author, "Title of paper," in Proc. Name of Conference, City, Country, Year, pp. 10-15.

  • Book:

    [3] A. Author, Title of the Book. City, Country: Publisher, Year.

Important for Scopus:

  • DOIs: You MUST include the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) link for every reference where available.

  • Recency: We expect at least 50% of references to be from the last 5–7 years.

7. Ethical Compliance

  • Originality: By submitting, authors confirm the work is original and not under consideration elsewhere.

  • Plagiarism: IJTEMS uses Turnitin. Similarity >15% is grounds for rejection.

  • Authorship: All listed authors must have contributed significantly.

8. After Acceptance

  • Proofs: Corresponding authors will receive PDF proofs. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors; no major changes to the text are allowed at this stage.

  • Copyright: Authors will be asked to sign a license agreement granting the journal the right to publish the work under CC-BY 4.0.

  • [ ] formatting: The text is single-column, double-spaced, using a 12-point standard font (e.g., Times New Roman).

  • [ ] Equations: All equations are editable (using an equation editor) and not pasted as images. SI Units are used throughout.

4. Figures and Tables

  • [ ] Resolution: All figures are high-quality (minimum 300 DPI for color/grayscale, 600 DPI for line art).

  • [ ] Placement: Figures and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
