• Abstract

All contributing authors' names should be added and their names arranged in the correct order for publication. An accurate email address should be supplied only by the corresponding author. The full name of each author must be present in the exact format they should appear for publication, including or exclude any middle names or initials as required. The affiliation of each contributing author should be correct on their author name.

The criteria of authorship are as follows; Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; Final approval of the version to be published; Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.

Keywords are written in italics and then separated using the symbol (;), with a maximum of 5 words.

• The introduction provides adequate background or context (problem and its significance) of the study. The subject should not be written extensively. It is expected that the rationale or purpose of the study (gap analysis), the objective in general and specific, and the hypothesis (if any) should be expressed clearly. Present a clear "state of the art" of the subject, which discussed literature and theoretical concepts behind it. A concise general background may be included in the article. Present at least 5 (five) recent related works to support the novelty of the research.
• Provides sufficient details to allow the work to be reproduced by an independent researcher. Methods that are already published should be summarized and indicated by a reference. If quoting directly from a previously published method, use quotation marks and also cite the source. Any modifications to existing methods should also be described. Indicate the participants observed, including demographic data, number of respondents, the rationale of respondents selection, etc. Describe the design of the experiment, such as the experiment procedures, surveys, interviews, observation characteristics, etc. Write the complete research procedure. Ensure that the explanations provided in the article enable other researchers to reproduce the work or build upon it in the future.
• Results and discussions. Write results in logical sequence. Results with essential findings should be present first. When presenting results in a table or figure, do not repeat all the contents in the text. Present only the summary of the text. Describe only new and important aspects of the study. Do not repeat all information from the results section or any section above. Present limitations of the study. Write the issues that are new or unsolved for future research. This section consists of the information on what/how the presented data were produced; no raw data should be present in the article. The produced data are presented in tables or figures with an explanation of the result/findings from the work. The section will also need to address connections between findings and basic concepts or hypotheses made earlier. Authors should also express whether any arguments were needed relating to other works from other researchers. Write implications made by the work related to theoretical or applications.
• Conclusions. The conclusion should be linked to the title and objectives of the study. Do not make statements not adequately supported by your findings. Do not make further discussions, repeat the abstract, nor only list the results of research results. Do not use bulleted points; use paragraphed sentences instead. maximum 300 words.
• Acknowledgments Those who contribute but do not meet all criteria for authorship should not be listed as authors, but they should be acknowledged at the end of the text. Only the names of the persons but not their role should be written under the acknowledgement section. Authors must declare all sources of external research funding in their article, and a statement to this effect should appear in the Acknowledgements section. Authors who wish to include these items should save them together in a single MS Word file to be uploaded with their submission. If they are to be included, a brief professional biography of 100 words maximum should be supplied for each named author.

• Symbols and units, numbers

If symbols are defined in a nomenclature section, symbols and units should be listed in alphabetical order with their definition and dimensions in SI units. Please use the SI set of units whenever possible. Wherever the application domain uses a different set of units widely, please minimize the use of non-standard units or non-standard symbols for those units. As examples, the use of a for the year (annum) is depreciated, and the use of y is encouraged instead. Similarly, h should be used for hours instead of hr and t instead of ton or tonne. It is essential to handle cases where measurement units are entered. For example, ' Km' does not mean kilometers, but rather Kelvin-meters.

When providing numerical values followed by measurement units, please leave a regular space or a non-breaking space between each value and its corresponding measurement unit. This also includes percentages and degrees Celsius (e.g., 42 % or 35 %, 234 C, 504 K). This rule also applies to the unit for a liter, which is recommended to be capitalized as' L'. The authors are encouraged to format the numbers according to international rules, specifying the decimal point as the decimal separator and the comma as the thousand separator.

• Equations

Make sure that the placing and numbering of equations are consistent throughout your manuscript.

(1)

(2)

Left aligns the equation and puts the number of the equation flush-right, using a Right Tab on the right margin. Please reference equations in the text by writing: Eqn. .. (do not use Equation ..) In principle, variables are to be presented in italics.

• Figures and Tables

Figures and tables should be originals or sharp prints. Please use the SI set of units whenever possible. Figures and tables should be centered and placed either at the top or at the bottom of the page. Please do not render tables as pictures, and please do not use too small font sizes in the illustrations. Please use the following fonts in your illustrations: Book Antiqua, Symbol, or fonts that look similar.

If your figures and tables are created in a Microsoft Office application (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) then please supply 'as is' in the native format, too. Regardless of the application used other than Microsoft Office, when your electronic artwork is finalized, please 'Save as' or convert the images to one of the following formats (note the resolution requirements for line drawings, halftones, and line/halftone combinations given below):

• EPS (or PDF): Vector drawings, embed all used fonts.
• TIFF (or JPEG): Color or grayscale photographs (halftones), with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
• TIFF (or JPEG): Bitmapped (pure black & white pixels) line drawings; keep to a minimum of 1000 dpi.
• TIFF (or JPEG): Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (color or grayscale), keep to a minimum of 500 dpi.

The title should use Book Antiqua 10, with 0 pt before and 0 pt after the paragraph, left-justified at the top of the table. Tables have to be included in the text. If a table is too long to fit one page, the table number and heading should be repeated on the next page before the table is continued. Alternatively, the table may be spread over two consecutive pages (first an even-numbered page, then an odd-numbered page) turned by 90 degrees without repeating the heading.

• Figure captions

Fig. 1 Captions should be placed below each illustration, font Book Antiqua, 11 pts. Figures and figure captions should be placed in the center; two narrow figures may be placed side-by-side. Please reference figures in the text by writing: Fig. .. (do not use Figure ..).
