AUTHOR GUIDELINES

All manuscripts must be in English. Pages should be numbered sequentially. The maximum length of contributions is 10 pages (short manuscripts should be less than 4 pages). Longer contributions will only be accepted if authors provide justification in a cover letter which must be added at submission as a supplementary file.

Please add a cover letter as a supplementary file stating the following information about the submitted paper:

1.     Paper title, list of authors

2.     The type of your paper: original scientific paper (1.01), review scientific paper (1.02) or short scientific paper (1.03).

3.     A declaration that your paper is unpublished work, not considered elsewhere for publication.

4.     State the value of the paper or its practical, theoretical and scientific implications. What is new in the paper with respect to the state-of-the-art in the published papers?

5.     We kindly ask you to suggest at least two reviewers for your paper and give us their names and contact information (email).

Every manuscript submitted to the Techno-Science undergoes the course of the peer-review process.

THE FORMAT OF THE MANUSCRIPT

The manuscript should be written in the following format:

·       A title, which adequately describes the content of the manuscript.

·       An Abstract should not exceed 250 words. The Abstract should state the principal objectives and the scope of the investigation, as well as the methodology employed. It should summarize the results and state the principal conclusions.

·       4-6 significant key words should follow the abstract to aid indexing.

·       An Introduction, which should provide a review of recent literature and sufficient background information to allow the results of the article to be understood and evaluated.

·       A Theory or experimental methods used.

·       An Experimental section, which should provide details of the experimental set-up and the methods used for obtaining the results.

·       A Results section, which should clearly and concisely present the data using figures and tables where appropriate.

·       A Discussion section, which should describe the relationships and generalizations shown by the results and discuss the significance of the results making comparisons with previously published work. (It may be appropriate to combine the Results and Discussion sections into a single section to improve the clarity).

·       Conclusions, which should present one or more conclusions that have been drawn from the results and subsequent discussion and do not duplicate the Abstract.

·       References, which must be cited consecutively in the text using square brackets [1] and collected together in a reference list at the end of the manuscript.

Units standard SI symbols and abbreviations should be used. Symbols for physical quantities in the text should be written in italics (e.g. v, T, n, etc.). Symbols for units that consist of letters should be inplain text (e.g. ms^-1, K, min, mm, etc.).

Abbreviations should be spelt out in full on first appearance, e.g., variable time geometry (VTG). Meaning of symbols and units belonging to symbols should be explained in each case or quoted in a special table at the end of the manuscript before References

Figures must be cited in a consecutive numerical order in the text and referred to in both the text and the caption as Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc. Figures should be prepared without borders and on white grounding and should be sent separately in their original formats.

Pictures may be saved in resolution good enough for printing in any common format, e.g. BMP, GIF or JPG. However, graphs and line drawings should be prepared as vector images, e.g. CDR, AI. When labeling axes, physical quantities, e.g. t, v, m, etc. should be used whenever possible to minimize the need to label the axes in two languages. Multicurve graphs should have individual curves marked with a symbol. The meaning of the symbol should be explained in the figure caption.

Tables should carry separate titles and must be numbered in consecutive numerical order in the text and referred to in both the text and the caption as Table 1, Table 2, etc. In addition to the physical quantity, e.g. t (in italics), units (normal text), should be added in Strojniški vestnik - Journal of Mechanical Engineering 2 square brackets. The tables should each have a heading. Tables should not duplicate data found elsewhere in the manuscript.

Acknowledgement of collaboration or preparation assistance may be included before References. Please note the source of funding for the research.

REFERENCES

A reference list must be included using the following information as a guide. Only cited text references are included. Each reference is referred to in the text by a number enclosed in a square bracket (i.e., [3] or [2] to [6] for more references). No reference to the author is necessary.

References must be numbered and ordered according to where they are first mentioned in the paper, not alphabetically. All references must be complete and accurate. All non-English or. non-German titles must be translated into English with the added note (in language) at the end of reference. Examples follow.
