All  manuscripts  must  be  submitted  electronically  via  the  Internet  through  the  online  system  for  EMS  journals  at   https://dergipark.org.tr/ems  . After selecting the journal, you will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files. Papers are accepted for evaluation on the understanding that:

•  they have not been published,
•  they are not being considered for publication simultaneously elsewhere,
•  they are not going to be submitted for publication elsewhere

The copyright transfer form, which can be found at https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/journal-file/16273  , must be signed by the corresponding author on behalf of all authors and must accompany all papers submitted.

FORMAT OF THE MANUSCRIPT

The manuscript should be composed in accordance with the Article Template.

The manuscript should be written in the following format:

- A Title that adequately describes the content of the manuscript.

- A list of Authors and their affiliations.

- An Abstract that 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 that should provide a review of recent literature and sufficient background information to allow the results of the article to be understood and evaluated.

- A Methods section detailing the theoretical or experimental methods used.

- An Experimental section that should provide details of the experimental set-up and the methods used to obtain the results.

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

- A Discussion section that 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 clarity.)

- A Conclusions section that should present one or more conclusions drawn from the results and subsequent discussion and should not duplicate the Abstract.

- Acknowledgement (optional) of collaboration or preparation assistance may be included. Please note the source of funding for the research.

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

FIGURES

Figures (figures, graphs, illustrations digital images, photographs) must be cited in consecutive numerical order in the text and referred to in both the text and the captions as Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. Figures should be prepared without borders and on white grounding. If a figure is composed of several parts, please mark each part with a), b), c), etc. and provide an explanation for each part in Figure caption. The caption should be self-explanatory. Letters and numbers should be readable.

Graphics (submitted as supplementary files) may be exported in resolution good enough for printing (min. 300 dpi) in any common format, e.g. TIFF, BMP, GIF or JPG, PDF and should be named Fig1.jpg, Fig2.tif, etc. However, graphs and line drawings should be prepared as vector images, e.g. CDR, AI.

Multi-curve graphs should have individual curves marked with a symbol or otherwise provide distinguishing differences using, for example, different thicknesses or dashing. 

TABLES

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 captions as Table 1, Table 2, etc. In addition to the physical quantities, such as t (in italics), the units (normal text) should be added in square brackets. Tables should not duplicate data found elsewhere in the manuscript. Tables should be prepared using a table editor and not inserted as a graphic.

RERERENCES

A reference list must be included using the following information as a guide. Only cited text references are to be included. Each reference is to be referred to in the text by a number enclosed in a square bracket (i.e. [3] or [2] to [4] for more references; do not combine more than 3 references, explain each). 

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. Please add DOI code when available. Examples follow.

PUBLICATION ETHICS

EUROPEAN MECHANICAL SCIENCE will check for plagiarism for all submitted articles before they are previously published.

If plagiarism content is detected by the editors, the author will be notified to rewrite.

The entire article will be scanned by iThenticate® to prevent plagiarism.

In any case, if more than 20% of the original article submitted is plagiarism, then the article will be rejected and also reported to the author.

We strongly recommend that you check your content before submitting it to EUROPEAN MECHANICAL SCIENCE for publication. Although plagiarism is not completely reliable, it is recommended to use some free plagiarism programs

The publication processes implemented in the EUROPEAN MECHANICAL SCIENCE Journal form the basis for the development and distribution of information in an impartial and respectful manner. The processes implemented in this direction are directly reflected in the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support the authors. Peer-reviewed studies are studies that embody and support the scientific method. At this point, it is important that all stakeholders of the process (authors, readers and researchers, publisher, referees and editors) comply with the standards for ethical principles.
