3) Paste your own ORCID ID in the Address bar. Press OK to complete the process.

After the following steps, you should have successfuly add your own ORCID id to the submitted paper.

Ethic Responsibilities

The publication of an article in peer-reviewed “International Journal of Engineering Science and Application” is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behaviour for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer, the publisher and the society of society-owned or sponsored journals.

All authors are requested to disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest including any financial, personal or other relationships with other people or organizations within three years of beginning the submitted work that could inappropriately influence, or be perceived to influence, their work.

Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The submission should be approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright-holder.

Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a “Copyright Form”. Acceptance of the agreement will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. An e-mail will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript together with a “Copyright Form” form or a link to the online version of this agreement.

Author Rights

As a journal author, you retain rights for a large number of author uses, including use by your employing institute or company. These rights are retained and permitted without the need to obtain specific permission from International Journal of Engineering Science and Application. These include:

v The right to make copies (print or electronic) of the journal article for your own personal use, including for your own classroom teaching use;

v The right to make copies and distribute copies (including via e-mail) of the journal article to research colleagues, for personal use by such colleagues for scholarly purposes;

v The right to post a pre-print version of the journal article on Internet web sites including electronic pre-print servers, and to retain indefinitely such version on such servers or sites for scholarly purposes

v The right to post a revised personal version of the text of the final journal article on your personal or institutional web site or server for scholarly purposes

v The right to use the journal article or any part thereof in a printed compilation of your works, such as collected writings or lecture notes .

Article Style

Authors must strictly follow the guide for authors, or their articles may be rejected without review. Editors reserve the right to adjust the style to certain standards of uniformity. Follow Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Theory/Calculation, Conclusions, Acknowledgements, References order when typing articles. The corresponding author should be identified with an asterisk and footnote. Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article and do not include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise.

Abstract and Keywords:

Enter an abstract of up to 250 words for all articles. This is a concise summary of the whole paper, not just the conclusions, and is understandable without reference to the rest of the paper. It should contain no citation to other published work. Include up to six keywords that describe your paper for indexing purposes.

Abbreviations and Acronyms:

Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract. Abbreviations such as IEEE, SI, MKS, CGS, sc, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title unless they are unavoidable.

Text Layout for Peer Review:

Use single column layout, double spacing and wide (3 cm) margins on white paper at the peer review stage. Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated. Present tables and figure legends in the text where they are related and cited. Number all pages consecutively; use 12 pt font size and standard fonts; Times New Roman, Helvetica, or Courier is preferred.

Research Papers should not exceed 20 printed pages in two-column publishing format, including figures and tables.

Technical Notes and Letters should not exceed 2,000 words.

Reviews should not exceed 20 printed pages in two-column publishing format, including figures and tables.

Equations:

Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make equations more compact, you may use the solidus ( / ), the exp function, or appropriate exponents. Italicize Roman symbols for quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a sentence, as in

                              C = a + b                                                                                                                                         (1)

Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Use “Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” while citing.

Figures and Tables:

All illustrations must be supplied at the correct resolution:

    * Black and white and colour photos - 300 dpi

    * Graphs, drawings, etc - 800 dpi preferred; 600 dpi minimum

    * Combinations of photos and drawings (black and white and color) - 500 dpi

Table captions should be written in the same format as figure captions; for example, “Table 1. Appearance styles.”. Tables should be referenced in the text unabbreviated as “Table 1.”

References:

Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and viceversa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as “in press” implies that the item has been accepted for publication. Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence:  “Reference [3] was …”. Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more. For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language citation.
