Author Guidelines

The Journal of Engineering Studies and Innovation (JESI) welcomes submissions of original research articles, review papers, case studies, and technical notes in the field of engineering. To ensure a smooth and efficient review and publication process, authors are required to adhere to the following guidelines when preparing their manuscripts. All submissions must follow the IEEE format/template.

1. Submission Process

  • Manuscripts must be submitted electronically via the JESI submission portal.
  • All submissions should be in English and formatted according to the IEEE template provided on the journal's website.
  • Authors must ensure that their manuscript is original, has not been published previously, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

2. Manuscript Preparation

2.1. General Formatting

  • Document Format: Manuscripts should be submitted in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or LaTeX format.
  • Page Layout: Manuscripts should be prepared in double-column format using the IEEE template, with A4 paper size.
  • Font: Use Times New Roman, 10-point font.
  • Margins: Set margins to 0.75 inches on all sides.
  • Line Spacing: Use single line spacing throughout the manuscript.
  • Page Numbers: Do not include page numbers or headers/footers in the manuscript.

2.2. Structure of Manuscript

  • Title: The title should be concise, informative, and reflect the content of the manuscript.
  • Author Information: Include the full names, affiliations, and email addresses of all authors. The corresponding author should be clearly identified.
  • Abstract: Provide an abstract of 150-250 words that summarizes the research objectives, methodology, results, and conclusions.
  • Keywords: Include 3-5 keywords that accurately represent the content of the manuscript.
  • Introduction: Present the background, objectives, and significance of the research.
  • Methodology: Describe the research design, methods, and procedures used in the study.
  • Results: Present the findings of the research with appropriate use of tables, figures, and graphs.
  • Discussion: Interpret the results, discuss their implications, and compare them with existing literature.
  • Conclusion: Summarize the key findings and suggest future research directions.
  • References: List all references cited in the manuscript using the IEEE citation format.

3. Citation and References

3.1. IEEE Citation Format

  • In-text Citations: References should be cited in the text by a number in square brackets, e.g., [1], [2], [3].
