Manuscript Structure and Formatting

To meet IJEICS standards, authors should prepare their manuscripts according to the journal's template and formatting requirements.

Manuscript Template

Authors should use the journal template where available. The manuscript should include appropriate sections such as title, abstract, keywords, introduction, literature review or background, methodology, results, discussion, conclusion, acknowledgments, funding statement, conflict of interest statement, data availability statement, and references.

The submitted manuscript should be provided as a clear, complete, and editable Word document. The file should not be encrypted or password-protected.

If the official template is not used, authors should submit a clearly formatted manuscript using readable academic formatting, proper headings and subheadings, numbered figures and tables, editable equations, and consistent reference style.

Abstract and Keywords

The manuscript should include a concise abstract of approximately 150–250 words summarizing the purpose, methods, results, and significance of the study. Authors should provide 4–6 keywords that reflect the main topic, engineering field, computational method, application area, and contribution of the manuscript. Keywords should support discoverability and indexing.

Length and Format

There is no strict page limit; however, manuscripts should be concise, focused, and appropriate for the article type. Authors should avoid unnecessary repetition and ensure that the manuscript provides sufficient technical and methodological detail for evaluation.

Figures, Tables, and Technical Diagrams

Figures, tables, graphs, flowcharts, circuit diagrams, system architectures, and technical illustrations should be clear, properly labeled, and cited in the main text. Authors should provide high-resolution figures where applicable. Tables should be editable and should not be submitted only as images. All the tables and figures must be properly captioned and cross-referred in the main text. can be referred to as “Table 1” in the main text. Figures can be referred to as “Fig.1” or “Figs 1 & 2” in case of referring to more than one figure. For detailed formatting of the content, refer to the manuscript template. 

 

Equations, Algorithms, Models, and Notations

Equations, algorithms, models, and technical notations should be clearly presented and, where applicable, sequentially numbered. Symbols, variables, parameters, units, and abbreviations must be defined clearly. Mathematical expressions, equations, and algorithms should be editable and should not be inserted only as images.

References

Authors must use one consistent referencing style throughout the manuscript. IJEICS recommends the IEEE citation style for engineering and computational science manuscripts unless otherwise stated in the journal template. References should be accurate, complete, traceable, and based on scholarly or credible sources. The number of references should be appropriate to the article type, subject area, and depth of the research. Manuscripts containing fabricated, unverifiable, misleading, or inappropriate references may be returned for correction or rejected.

Supplementary Materials

Authors may submit supplementary materials such as additional figures, datasets, tables, code, algorithms, simulation files, technical appendices, software documentation, or multimedia files where these materials support the understanding or verification of the research. Supplementary materials should be clearly labeled and referenced in the manuscript.

Peer Review Process

All research articles, review articles, technical reports, case studies, short communications, computational studies, simulation studies, and engineering application papers submitted to IJEICS undergo editorial screening followed by peer review.

IJEICS follows a double-blind peer-review process, in which the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed from each other. Manuscripts that pass initial editorial screening are normally evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise.

Final editorial decisions are made by the Editor-in-Chief or assigned editor based on reviewer comments, journal scope, originality, ethical compliance, technical quality, methodological soundness, engineering relevance, and clarity of presentation.

Editorials, invited commentaries, announcements, or non-research content may be reviewed internally according to journal policy.

Review Process

  1. Initial editorial screening
  2. Plagiarism and similarity check
  3. Assignment to subject experts
  4. Double-blind peer review
  5. Editorial evaluation and decision
  6. Author revision, if required
  7. Final acceptance and publication

Editorial Decisions May Include

  • Accept
  • Minor revision
  • Major revision
  • Reject
