Papers must be original, unpublished, written in USA English, and at least 8 (eight) pages, including abstract, figures, tables, and references. The submission should correspond to the Conference Topics. All papers must comply with the guidelines. To download templates and guidelines for proceedings papers, follow the link. Papers not satisfying these criteria will be excluded from the review.
The number of co-authors is restricted to five. One person can submit up to two papers, but only one can be submitted as the first author. The use of AI is permitted only in accordance with the IOP Ethical Policy on Generative AI Tools. Please note that IOP Publishing utilizes the iThenticate service to verify manuscripts for plagiarism and detect AI-generated text. Any paper that contains more than 10% textual borrowings and more than 5% borrowings from a single source will not be accepted for review.
The title, abstract, authors, and affiliations, as well as the order of authors in the Publishing Platform, should be the same as in your paper. Use sentence case for the article title, capitalizing only the first word and proper nouns. No academic titles or descriptions of academic positions should be included in the paper. Leave only one email address (corresponding author) in the paper. All communication will be carried out with the corresponding author only. The corresponding author should provide their corporate e-mail only. Please note that, as per guidelines, the author’s private email address will not be displayed.
All authors are required to provide their ORCID identifiers. ORCID iDs should be placed after the author affiliations and e-mail address(es) and before the abstract, in the following order:
[Author Names]
[Affiliation(s)]
[E-mail address(es)]
[ORCID iD(s)]
[Abstract]
ORCID iDs should be provided in the standard numeric format (e.g., 0000-0002-1234-5678). During the production and typesetting of the papers, all ORCID iDs will be hyperlinked by the Publisher.
The abstract should summarize the content (goal, scientific novelty, practical value, main results, etc.) of the paper in short terms, i.e., 150-250 words. Use high-quality figures in your paper (at least 300 dpi).
The paper should be prepared using the following structure (1 Introduction, 2 Research Methodology, 3 Results and Discussion, 4 Conclusion, 5 Acknowledgment):
- The Introduction section serves as a crucial entry point for readers, providing them with an understanding of the study’s context and importance. It should provide an overview of the research field, identify gaps or controversies within the existing literature, and clearly outline the study’s objectives and significance. A meticulous review of the current state of the research field is imperative, with careful consideration given to citing key publications that have informed the field. Controversial and divergent hypotheses should be highlighted to underscore the complexity of the subject matter. In adhering to the Editorial Board’s guidance, recent literature indexed in esteemed databases such as Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection is preferred, with a focus on peer-reviewed journals that fall within the Q1/Q2 quartiles. Each reference should be critically examined separately, avoiding non-English references and grouping citations. Furthermore, a concise summary of the primary conclusions drawn from the review should be provided.
- In the Research Methodology section, it is essential to provide comprehensive descriptions of methods to enable others to replicate and build upon published findings. For novel methods and protocols, elaborate detail is necessary, whereas well-established methods can be succinctly outlined with appropriate citations. Specify the name and version of any software utilized and indicate whether the computer code is accessible.
- The Results and Discussion section presents a succinct and accurate account of the experimental findings, their analysis, and the resulting conclusions. Authors should explore the implications of the results and their interpretation in light of prior research and relevant theoretical frameworks. It is essential to contextualize the findings within a broader scope and acknowledge any limitations encountered during the study. Additionally, authors may propose future avenues of research for further exploration.
- The Conclusion section encapsulates the significant findings from qualitative and quantitative data analysis. Additionally, it may incorporate future research directions or plans for further investigation.
- In the Acknowledgment (if necessary) section, express gratitude for the support and assistance that contributed to attaining our research outcomes. This includes acknowledging any funding or additional support received.
The Editorial Board highly encourages you to cite up-to-date literature (2021-2026, preferably), which is indexed by databases Scopus and Web of Science (peer-reviewed journals with high impact factors are preferable). The recommended length of the List of References is 15-30 sources. Please avoid non-English references. Self-citation is permitted, but it should not exceed 15% of the total references. This issue will be strictly monitored.
