Acknowledgment

Add a note at the bottom of front page, if you wish to acknowledge financial support, any other assistance, or the constructive feedback provided by the reviewers or the editor.

 

Abstract.

An abstract of 100-200 words and the title of the work go on page 2.

 

Headings and Sections

IJTES uses only three levels of headings. Use bold- face for all three. Main headings (all capital letters; centered) are first. Second-level headings (title-style letters; flush left) are next. Third-level headings (first letter of first word capitalized; indented; italicized; and run into paragraph) are next. Don’t skip steps: no second-level headings before you use a first-level heading, for instance. Use second- and third-level headings in sets of two or more.

Examples:

 

 

METHODS                                                                                                               [1st level]

Data and Sample                                                                                                       [2nd level]

Measures                                                                                                                    [2nd level]

Independent variable                                                                                                  [3rd level]

Dependent variables                                                                                                   [3rd level]

Footnotes

Use footnotes placed on their respective pages (not endnotes).

 

Hypotheses

If your study contains any hypothesis, fully and separately state each hypothesis you tested separately. Phrase it in the present tense.

Abbreviations and Language

Avoid use of abbreviations. If it is necessary then use full name for the first time and then use abbreviations in the subsequent paragraphs.

 

Tables and Figures
Tables and figures can enhance both the reader’s understanding of information and the efficiency of its presentation. However, just as too many figures and tables can detract from the overall narrative, we encourage the judicious use of tables and figures and we discourage their overuse.

Number tables and figures consecutively (one series for tables, one for figures). Place them at the end of your manuscript, but indicate the position of each in the text as follows:

 

————————————

Insert Table 2 about here

————————————

 

Figures, unlike tables, contain drawings (e.g., an arrow, boxes). Make sure your figures print out clearly so that they can be scanned. Do not use color. Sample Tables and a Figure are given below.

Citations

IEEE in-text citations consist of a number enclosed in square brackets, which corresponds to the appropriate resource in the reference list at the end of your paper. The in-text citation numbers begin at [1], and proceed in ascending order throughout your paper – unless you are referencing a resource you have already cited in your text (in which case you use the previously-assigned number). Be aware that any edits to the references in the text of your paper may mean renumbering your reference list. There is very little variation in the formatting of IEEE in-text citations, regardless of whether you are citing a book, a web page, or a journal article.

 

The in-text citation is placed inside the punctuation of a sentence, i.e., “… similar to what was found by other researchers [5].” You do not need to include author names or dates in IEEE in-text citations, unless it is relevant to the text of the paper. The in-text reference may be used like a footnote, or as a noun.

Manuscript Submission Guidelines

 

Information for Authors

All submissions should be done thorough Word Processing file from which title page (including author name and affiliation and any acknowledgments or author notes) must be removed. After removing the author(s) detail go to the web site here and follow the directions. Each article usually has two part, i. Main Manuscript and ii. Title Page not for Review. The manuscript should include everything (i.e. title, abstract, key words, introduction, literature review, methods, results, findings references, tables and graphs) other then the authors, names, affiliation, addresses, acknowledgements, and any other information that may be used to identify the author(s).

 

Criteria for Publication

For the publication in IJTES, a manuscript must make strong theoretical and empirical contributions to the field of engineering and technology. Authors who are interested in publishing with IJTES should strive to produce original, interesting, valuable, insightful, and important research. The acceptance of article for publication highly depends upon the originality, value, importance, and significance. Submissions that do not have strong theoretical or empirical contribution will not be reviewed.

Each submitted manuscript would be assigned to action editor for evaluation. The action editor will decide whether to forward the manuscript to the reviewers. Typically, papers should be no longer than 40 double-spaced pages (using one-inch margins, left aligned, and Times New Roman 12-point font) including references, tables, figures, and appendixes.

 

Submission Requirements

Before submitting a manuscript to IJTES, the authors must make sure and confirm that

• Their manuscript has not already been published, reviewed and submitted to any other journal during the review period at IJTES. Articles presented and published in the proceedings of any academic conferences or workshops will be considered for publication in IJTES.
• Their manuscript has not previously been submitted to IJTES for review.
• The working papers or prior drafts of submitted manuscript that are posted on a website (e.g., personal, departmental, university, organizational) or a database will be taken down during the review process.

 

Peer Review Process and Time

International Journal of Technology and Engineering Studies (IJTES) operates a strictly anonymous peer-review process in which the reviewers’ names are withheld from the author(s) and, the authors’ name from the reviewer.

 

Desk Review: On receiving a manuscript, the editor conducts a preliminary screening to assess the degree to which the manuscript fits the criteria in IJTES’s ‘Aims and Scope’. Submissions that fail to satisfy our criteria may be returned to the authors either as a desk reject or desk edit. In case of desk edit, the authors are asked to edit the manuscript and then resubmit.

 

Review process: For each manuscript that passes the desk review, the editor assigns an action editor (either him- or herself or an associate editor or a guest editor) and two reviewers. The manuscript’s action editor sends the manuscript to two reviewers who are specialists in their fields for review . After receiving the reviewers’ comments on the manuscript, the action editor makes publication decisions about it. However, these decisions are made in conjunction with recommendations provided by the reviewers. All submission is blind reviewed; manuscripts prepared in a way that compromises blind review may be returned for revision prior to being submitted to the reviewers.

 

Review Time: The journal strives to provide developmental and constructive feedback to authors within approximately five weeks. The peer-review process usually takes four weeks depending upon the manuscript size and availability of the editorial members. However, the initial quality of the manuscript can dramatically influence both the efficiency and effectiveness of review process. The better developed a manuscript and the ideas it contains, the easier it will be to review, and provide timely feedback to authors. We therefore encourage authors to ask scholarly colleagues to review their work prior to submission to the IJTES.

The Guidelines for Reviewers can be viewed here.

The submissions made to the conferences organized by our associated organizations generally do not go through peer-review process because the submissions made to our associated conferences already go through a rigorous review process. For manuscripts already presented at our associated conferences, the action editor usually makes a decision for possible acceptance, rejection or revision.

 

Formatting

IJTES uses IEEE guidelines for in-text Citations, Tables, Figures/Images, References, and Appendixes. All submissions are required to be formatted according to the guidelines available here. The action editor may return manuscripts that do not commensurate with the formatting guidelines to the authors for revision prior to submission to the full review process.

 

Language Editing-Author Services

For authors who are non-native English speakers writing in English as a second language, KKG Publishing offers language editing, or ‘polishing’ of academic papers, including manuscripts, journal articles, abstracts, and dissertations. Upon acceptance your manuscript will be checked for correct grammar, spelling, style, sentence structure, and readability.
