Author's Guidelines for Manuscript

PREPARATION

Scope

Authors intending to submit a manuscript to the Journal of Engineering, Science and Technological Trends (JESTT) should check whether the manuscript is consistent with the journal’s editorial strategies and scope. 

Language

English

Submission         

Manuscripts should be electronically submitted via Make a Submission. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, will be via OJS online login.

File Type

The manuscript should be submitted as a single Microsoft Word file, including all contents. 

Article Length/Word limit

The length of an article should be a maximum of 9000 words.

Submission Declaration

It is JESTT's editorial policy to welcome submissions for consideration, which are original and not under consideration for any other publication at the same time. All authors should be aware of the importance of presenting content that is based on their own research and expressed in their own words. Plagiarism is unacceptable and unethical.  JESTT allows a similarity of less than 19% in the overall manuscript. In addition, plagiarism from each source should be less than 5%.

FORMATTING

General guidelines for preparing the manuscript for submission are summarized in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.; APA, 2010, pp. 228–231).

Title Page

The first page of the manuscript should contain the title of the paper, the name(s) of the author(s), the affiliation of the author(s), and any acknowledgements or author’s note.

Abstract and Keywords

All manuscripts must include an abstract containing a maximum of 150-250 words typed, followed by four keywords or brief phrases. 

Introduction

A strong introduction engages the reader in the problem and provides a context for the study at hand.

Literature Review

The author needs to extend the background to the article’s introduction and identify the most relevant previous literature on the topic for positioning the paper and demonstrating its significance. 

Methodology/ Analysis

The author is required to provide an elaborate description of the methods used, as well as an explanation of the processes applied to gather and analyse the data, and to demonstrate that the methodology is appropriate and systematic.

Results & Discussion

Results should be clear and concise. The significance of the results of the research work, with no repeated mention of results in the text, is often appropriate.

Tables, Figures, Formulas, and Equations

Tables should be numbered and headed with appropriate, concise titles. The tables are preferred to be presented after the main body of the text and not inserted in the manuscript. Tables for the main text and each of its appendices should be numbered serially and separately. The title of each table, as well as the captions of its columns and rows, should be clearly expressive of the contents. The source of the tables should be given in a footnote immediately below the line at the bottom of the table, but unlike other footnotes, which must be numbered consecutively, they should not be numbered.

Mathematical formulae/ Equations: Please include mathematical equations and expressions as editable text and not as images. Write equations and formulas using the equation editor.

Figure captions: Ensure that each illustration has a caption. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations to a minimum, but explain all symbols and abbreviations used. The resolution of the image should be 300 dpi.

Tables: Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Tables can be placed either next to the relevant text in the article, or on separate page(s) at the end (not a mixture of both).

Conclusion

The original contribution of the manuscript and the discussion of the implications of the findings should be clearly mentioned in this section.

References

End References and In-text citation: Journal of Engineering, Science and Technological Trends requires all references in IEEE style. Reference management software such as Mendeley, EndNote, etc., is preferable for reference citation. For instance

The Journal of Engineering, Science and Technological Trends (JESTT) uses a numbering style for references[1]. We follow the IEEE reference style[2].
