IPTEK The Journal of Engineering

INSTRUCTION TO AUTHORS

IPTEK The Journal of Engineering publishes original articles on all aspects of technology and science disciplines. Articles are considered for publication with the condition that they have not been published or submitted for publication by other publishers.

Manuscript, proposed will be reviewed by reviewers with the criteria of originality, significance, quality, and accuracy. Editorial board authorized to accept, reject, or suggest the authors to improve manuscripts.

Revision, the manuscript suggested to be revised has to be sent to the author along with the suggestion of reviewer. However, the author can provide rebuttal comments or suggestions.

Language, manuscripts should be written in English.

Please make sure that all names are spelled correctly and specify the given name(s) and family name(s) of each author. In your script, you can add your name in the parentheses behind the English transcription. Below the names, provide the affiliation addresses of the authors (where the real work was done). Put a lower-case superscript letter after the author's name and in front of the relevant address to indicate all affiliations. Give each affiliation's complete mailing address, along with the name of the nation and, if it's accessible, the author's email address.

Corresponding Author

Indicate in clear terms who will be in charge of correspondence during the entire refereeing and publishing process, including afterward. This duty is to respond to any upcoming inquiries on materials and methodology. Make sure that the corresponding author's email address is provided and that their contact information is maintained and up to date.

An accurate and concise abstract is needed. The primary goals, main findings, and necessary conclusions of the study should all be succinctly stated in the abstract. An abstract should stand alone because it is frequently given apart from the article. Because of this, references should be avoided; nevertheless, if necessary, list the author(s) and year(s). Non-standard or unusual abbreviations should also be avoided; however, if they are necessary, they must be clarified when they are mentioned for the first time in the abstract itself. It ought to be limited to 200 words in one paragraph. Nine points per line of the "Times New Roman" typeface should be used while writing abstracts.

State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.

A theory section should provide the groundwork for future research by expanding on the background information previously covered in the introduction rather than restating it. A section on calculations, on the other hand, shows how a theoretical foundation has been developed practically.

The results have to be clear and concise.

Rather than restating the work's findings, this section should examine their importance. It is often helpful to combine the results and discussion sections. Avoid lengthy citations and discussions of published works.

Formulas for math

Math equations should be sent as editable text, not as pictures. When feasible, present basic formulae in accordance with standard language. For small fractional terms, such as X/Y, use the solidus (/) rather than a horizontal line. Variables should ideally be provided in italics. Exp is frequently a more practical way to represent the powers of e. If there are equations that need to be shown independently from the text, number them sequentially (if mentioned in the text).

Figure captions

Make sure a caption is included for every image. The caption should include a summary of the picture and a title that focuses on something other than the figure itself. Minimize the amount of text in the drawings themselves, but be sure to define all symbols and acronyms.

Tables

Kindly send tables as editable text rather than picture files. Tables can be positioned at the end of the article on a separate page or next to the relevant text on the page. Tables should be numbered sequentially according to where they appear in the text, and any annotations should be placed beneath the table body. Use tables sparingly, and make sure the information they include doesn't repeat findings that have already been discussed in other sections of the essay. Please refrain from employing shading and vertical rules.

A brief conclusions section, which may either stand alone or be a part of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section, might include the study's key findings.

IEEE is a selected format used in this journal. A numbered list of references must be provided at the end of the paper. The list should be arranged in the order of citation in text, not in alphabetical order. List only one reference per reference number. Each reference number should be enclosed by square brackets. In text, citations of references may be given simply as "in [1] ...". Sample correct formats for various types of references are as follows. Please use citation tool Mendeley, to help you manage your references.
