  • Keywords contains 5 keywords

The structure of the article contains:

Introduction

State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.

Experimental section

Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described.

Results and discussion

Results should be clear and concise. The discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. It is important to discuss the comparison of the results with those reported in any previously published articles. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.

Conclusions

The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.

Supplementary

If there is more than one supplement, they should be identified as S1, S2, etc. Formulas, equations, tables, and figures should be given separate sub-sections. All supplements should be combined within a single file.

Reference

Reference Guidelines (IEEE Style)

General Requirements

Authors must ensure that all references cited in the text are included in the reference list, and vice versa. References cited in the abstract must be provided in full in the reference list.

Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended for inclusion in the reference list but may be mentioned in the text. If included, they must follow the standard reference format and use “Unpublished results” or “Personal communication” in place of the publication year. References cited as “in press” indicate that the work has been accepted for publication.

Web References

For web-based sources, authors must provide at minimum the full URL and the date when the reference was last accessed. Additional details such as DOI, author names, publication year, and source information should be included when available. Web references may be listed within the main reference list or placed in a separate section.

Citation in Text

References must be indicated using numbers in square brackets and listed in the order of their appearance in the text.

Examples:

“… as demonstrated [3], [6].”

“Barnaby and Jones [8] obtained a different result …”

Reference List Format

References must be numbered consecutively using square brackets (e.g., [1], [2], [3]).
The reference list must be arranged in the order of citation in the text (not alphabetically).
Authors must use a consistent IEEE referencing style throughout.

Acknowledgments

Collate acknowledgments in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title, or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance, proofreading the article, etc.).

Nomenclature and Units

Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international system of units (SI). If other quantities are mentioned, give their equivalent in SI. You are urged to consult the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). For further information, please visit http://www.iupac.org.

Tables

Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.
