The journal publishes a range of article types with the following specifications:

Research Articles: A research article reports the results of original scientific research within the journal scope and assesses its contribution to the body of knowledge in a given area with the relevant data and findings in an orderly, logical manner.

Review Articles: Review articles are high scholarly contributions articles written by experts who not only know very well the research and technical developments in the field but also are able to critically examine the state-of-the-art and express informed views and provide guidance/ideas of future developments of the research topic. These are critical and comprehensive reviews that provide new insights or interpretation of a subject through thorough and systematic evaluation of available evidence.

Survey Article- Survey articles are a type of article that comprehensively summarizes, reviews, and analyzes the current state of research on a specific topic, providing a broad overview of existing knowledge, current trends, key techniques, challenges, key findings, methodologies, and emerging trends, and future directions related to that topic, often drawing from multiple studies and presenting a consolidated perspective for researchers, academicians, and scientists.

Short Communications: Short Communications are short article that present original and significant material for rapid dissemination. For example, a Short Communication may focus on a particular aspect of a problem or a new finding that is expected to have a significant impact. Short articles include, but are not limited to: discovery or development of new materials, cutting-edge experiments and theory, novelty in simulation and modelling, elucidation of mechanisms.

Technical Article-Technical article report new developments, significant advances, and novel aspects of experimental and theoretical methods and techniques which are relevant for scientific investigations within the journal scope. Highly detailed and specific technical information such as computer programme code or user manuals can be included as electronic supplements.

Editorial Note: These should be short and decisive observations. They should preferably be related to articles previously published in the Journal or views expressed in the journal. They should not be preliminary observations that need a later paper for validation. The letter could have up to 500 words and 5 references. It could be generally authored by not more than four authors.

Manuscript Structure (Organization)

Cover Letter- The cover letter should be included with the submission and should provide a brief overview of the manuscript's contents, highlighting its significance and potential contributions to the field.

Title- The title of your manuscript should be concise, informative, and accurately reflect the content of your research. It should be descriptive and informative, while avoiding any unnecessary words or phrases. The title should also be written in a way that is accessible to a broad audience.

Graphical Abstract- A Graphical Abstract is a stand-alone image summarizing the major findings of your Original Article in the form of a pictorial take-home message. It should be submitted together with three bullet points (Highlights) that summarize the main findings presented in the article.

Purpose- Graphical abstracts are designed to draw attention to the target audience, to encourage browsing, and to help readers quickly identify which articles are most relevant to their research, serving as a quick graphical summary of the research.

Authors must submit a unique image that accurately depicts the work reported in the article. Each article must contain a graphical abstract in the Table of Contents (TOC).

Please keep in mind that, just like each article, each graphical abstract should be original.

The graphical abstract image should:

• Be distinct from any figures or diagrams included in the manuscript
• be easy to understand and well-structured
• be based on graphical elements
• focus on the main findings from the current article without including excess details from previous literature.
• contain a minimal amount of text, simple labels
• Include the “so what” as a conclusion.
• use the effective colours
• Contain only elements that are original or from a licensed source that the author has rights to use in a commercial application.

The Graphical Abstract image should not:   

• contain a title
• include any scanned copy, copy a figure or table from the article
• contain light colours on a light background
• contain highly-saturated colours
• have white, black or very dark background
• Do not include findings or citations from the existing literature.
• Extraneous use of colour and use of heavily saturated, primary colours can distract from the figure’s message.

Abstract- The abstract should provide a clear summary of the research, including the objectives, methods, and results. It should be no more than 250 words and should be written in a way that is easily understood by a broad audience. Note: -Special symbols, mathematical formulas, and equations are not allowed in the "Abstract" section. References should not be cited in the abstract.

Keywords- Key words (5-8) should be provided below the Abstract to assist with indexing of the manuscript.

Introduction- The introduction should provide a clear statement of the research problem, the objectives of the study, and the hypothesis or research questions being addressed. It should also provide a brief overview of the existing literature on the topic, highlighting the gaps in knowledge that your research aims to address. The introduction should end with a clear statement of the research aim and objectives. As a last paragraph of the introduction should provide organization of the manuscript/manuscript.

Related Work- In this section, the author describes the previous research works in the form of title, problem statement, objectives, not repeat the information discussed in Introduction [3]. You should review at least 10 to 16 latest articles in the related work section, cite them properly, and list references in the reference section.

Methodology (Experimental Method/Procedure/Design)- This section should provide a detailed description of the research methods used, including the design of the study, proposed algorithms, proposed flowchart, proposed models/techniques, data collection methods, and statistical analyses used.

If you are using a new or modified methodology, you should provide a clear description of the process.

Results- This section should present the findings of your research in a clear and concise manner. You should use tables and graphs to present your data, and avoid duplicating information in the text. You should also describe any statistical analyses that you have carried out, including the significance levels and confidence intervals. Note-Figures/Tables/Flowcharts/Equations/Formulas should draw the pictures himself, do not give scanned equation/formula/Table.

Discussion- This section should interpret the results in the context of the research problem and the existing literature. You should discuss the implications of the findings, the strengths and limitations of the study, and the implications for future research. You should also avoid over-generalizing the results and making claims that are not supported by the data.

Conclusion and Future Scope- The conclusion should summarize the main findings of the research and restate the research aim and objectives. In last paragraph should also provide recommendations for future research and implications for practice.

• Data Availability- This statement should describe how readers can access the data supporting the conclusions of the study and clearly outline the reasons why unavailable data cannot be released. Study Limitations Provide all possible limitation faced in the study which might significantly affect research outcome, If not applicable write, none.
