Writing Rules

Author Guidelines
All manuscripts must be submitted online from the system by registering. All submitted papers will be pre-screened by the Editor to determine suitability for further review (e.g. correct format, area of interest). Papers deemed suitable will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. We use a double-blind peer reviewer system.
Submitted articles cannot have been previously published, nor be forthcoming in an archival journal or book. NATURENGS will not be held legally responsible if authors fail to follow this condition.
The article should be prepared using the template file below. Along with the article, the Copyright and Article information form must be filled and uploaded to the system.

General Format
Authors should consider the following sections provide guidelines on how to prepare and compose your manuscript. Please read these standards to ensure a smooth peer-review and production process.
Contributions to the NATURENGS will be published in English, and manuscripts must be submitted in that language. Concise English without jargon should be used. Repetitive use of long sentences and passive voice should be avoided. Either British or American spelling is acceptable but must be consistent throughout.
We request to submit an article in Microsoft Word format (.DOC) or LATEX. If you are using another word processor please save the final version of the manuscript (using 'Save As' option of the File menu) as a Word document. In this case please double-check that the saved file can be opened in Microsoft Word. We cannot accept PDF or any other text files.
The manuscript must be single-spaced in Times New Roman font 12-point size. Leave a line space between paragraphs and sections. All pages should be numbered consecutively in the bottom center, beginning with the title page. A 2.5 cm margin on both sides of the page is desirable.
Special words do not underline, use italics instead. Weights and measures must be expressed in the SI unit (metric) system and temperatures in the Celsius (centigrade) scale.
Tables, single-spaced, and should be as few and as simple as is feasible. Each table should be on a separate sheet.
Figures and photographs should be carefully prepared so that a clear image can be printed.
Authors mustn't declare any financial support or relationships that may pose a conflict of interest.
Standard articles, describing advances in experimental studies and reporting new analytical or numerical solutions directly related to engineering problems, should be divided into logically ordered and numbered sections and should not exceed 5000 words (excluding references).
The manuscript should be organized in the following sequence: Title page, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Material and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgments (funding and grant-awarding bodies), References, Tables and Figures.
This is the numbered part of the manuscript which may include the parts: 1. Introduction, 2. Material and Methods, 3. Results and Discussion, 4. Conclusion.
The text may include subheadings with the following numbering style (1.1, 1.2,…etc.).
One line after each section should be left and text should be started leaving one line after section headings.

1. Title page
The title page should be included in the following items;
Title should be written using bold type and Times New Roman font size 14 with lower case letters and center-aligned. Abbreviations are not permitted in the title. The title should be concise and informative, yet the number of words in the title should be limited to those words that highlight the significant content of the article.
Leaving one line after title, name(s) of the author(s) should be written using bold type Times New Roman font size 11 with capital letters for the first letters of the words with center-aligned, adding superscript numbers (i.e. 1, 2, 3) at the end of the last name of each author. The corresponding author should be indicated with an asterisk.
Leaving one line after the name(s) of the author(s), their affiliations and postal address should be written using Times New Roman font size 10 with capital letters for the first letters of the words with left alignment. The ORCID number of all authors and corresponding author e-mail addresses should be also given for in affiliation line.

2. Abstract and Keywords
The Abstract and Keywords should be written using Times New Roman font size 10 and justified. The abstract should be one paragraph without sections and should not exceed 300 words, following the title page. The abstract should be free of references and abbreviations. The abstract should summarize pertinent results in a brief but understandable form.
Leaving one line after Abstract, up to 4-5 keywords that best describe the content of the research should be listed. The term "Keywords" should appear in bold followed by a colon. The first letter of each keyword is capitalized and keywords are separated by comma.

3.Introduction
The introduction should put forth the related background to the study, explain why the study was done and specifies the hypotheses to be tested. Extensive discussion of relevant literature should be included in the discussion of results, not in the introduction.

4. Material and Methods
The materials and methods should present essential details, experimental design and statistical analysis. A clear description or original reference is required for all biological, analytical, and statistical procedures used in the study. All modifications of procedures must be explained. Treatments and measurements should be described clearly. Statistical models and methods to analyze should be described clearly and fully. If an ethics committee permission is required for the study, the ethics commission date-number should be indicated.

5. Results and Discussion
The results should present the findings of the study. The corresponding tables and pictures should be provided in this section. However, the same data must not be displayed in two ways, e.g. graphically and in a table. The results of the study should be presented in table and data means (numbers) should not be repeated broadly in the text. The results and discussion should be written in the past tense.

6. Conclusion
This section should summarize the main findings and also link to the recommendations. Previous findings in the discussion should not be repeated, the author's results in the broader context of other studies on the subject interpreting them with a minimum of speculation. The conclusion should integrate with the research findings of other studies to provide the readers with a broad base for understanding whether the hypotheses tested were accepted or rejected.

7. Conflict of Interest
No conflict of interest was declared by the authors.

8. Acknowledgments (optional)
If any support is given to the work by an institution or a person, it should be indicated as acknowledgment in the manuscript. The names of funding organizations and grant-awarding bodies should be written in full. Acknowledgments should be kept as short as possible, and placed after the text.



9. References
The references should only include works that are cited in the article and that are published or accepted for publication. Unpublished results and information obtained through articles and personal communications are not recommended for use as the reference. Printed stage in the resources, if any, should be given a DOI number.
Literature references are to be numbered consecutively and should be grouped at the end of the paper under the heading “References”. Citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets. The list of references at the end of the paper should be given in order of their first appearance in the text. All authors should be included in reference lists unless there are 10 or more, in which case only the first 10 should be given, followed by ‘et al.’. Do not use individual sets of square brackets for citation numbers that appear together, e.g., [2,3,5–9], not [2], [3], [5]–[9]. Do not include personal communications, unpublished data, websites, or other unpublished materials as references, although such material may be inserted (in parentheses) in the text.
References should be formatted as follows (please note the punctuation and capitalization):
If the reference is a journal paper: Author surname, first name initial(s), year, title of the paper, journal name, volume number, pages.

10. Figures and Tables
All illustrations (photographs, drawings, graphs, etc.), not including tables, must be labeled “Figure.” Figures and tables must be submitted in the manuscript. All tables and figures must have a caption and/or legend and be numbered (e.g., Table 1, Figure 2).
Tables and figures should be embedded in proper places in the text. The table and figure captions are to be written in Times New Roman font size 10. Any previously published material should be identified by giving the source in the form of a reference at the end of the captions.
The content of the tables and figures should be in a Times New Roman font size 10. For tables and figures, the maximum width and height is 14 cm and 20 cm, respectively. Photos or pictures in the figures should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. The preferred file type for figures is JPEG, TIFF, or PPT. Unnecessary backgrounds and grid and vertical lines should be removed from graphs. Each axis should have a description and a unit. For bar charts, different fill patterns may be used if needed (black, white, gray, and stripes). Figure caption should be prepared at the bottom of the figure. Figure parts are to be denoted by lowercase letters (a, b, c …). Do not include titles or captions within your figures.
Any abbreviation used in a table must be defined in that table. Tables should be single-spaced with each table on a separate sheet. All tables should be cited in the text. The title of the table continues on the same line with only the first letter capitalized. For numerals less than 1, a zero should be inserted to the left of the decimal point, and if possible, columns should be center- aligned. If there are no data for a particular entry, a hyphen should be inserted. If an explanation is necessary, an abbreviation can be used in the body of the table and it should be explained clearly in the footnotes. The table caption should be prepared in the upper of the table.

11. Nomenclature, Symbols and Abbreviations
In general, the recommendations of the SI units should be followed. Symbols, formulas and equations should be written with great care, capitals and lower case letters being distinguished where necessary. Mathematical expressions should be written by an equation editor (Word format) in 9 point size. Indices font should be 8 point size. Each equation in the text should be numbered in parenthesis ( ). Abbreviations require definition when first used.
