Abstract
The content of the paper and the main conclusion should be described in the abstract. It
also needs to cover the objective, procedure, most significant results, and related
discussion points. It is necessary to be precise enough so that even someone who has
never recited the report before will read this section and understand the main points well.

There are some technical adjustments that you can apply to your
articles. Detailed explanations and related informative videos
are provided below. The editorial board highly suggests you
follow the instructions.
Firstly, you should caption all items (figures, tables, equations)
using the “insert caption” command in the references tab with
the correct corresponding label. You are expected to put captions
of figures below the figure and captions of tables above the table.
It is suggested to put captions right-hand side of the equation.

bold. The font size of the subsections should be the same as the
texts (9), and they should be italic.
The article should be saved as a pdf enabling “Headings” under
the “Include non-printing information” option.
The explanation or reference of a given data in tables should be
inserted as endnotes if required.

- In the introduction, you should critically assess the literature
relevant to the problem, delineating unresolved issues. State
clear objectives to explain how this study will take the field
forward. This part should have an objective work, justification
for these objectives, background information on the study, and
guidance to the reader about the paper. The following questions
can be considered:

Secondly, you should select cross-references under the 1. Why is your work important?
references tab to link the previously created caption with the 2. What are the previous studies in that area?
corresponding text. 3. What are the interesting high points?

For titles, use heading 1 options in the styles section of the home
tab, and heading 2 for subsections. The text’s font size and type
font should be 9 and Minion Pro Regular, respectively. The font
size of the heading should be 11, and the headings should be

- The text size and font should be 9 and Minion Pro, respectively.
The font size of the headings should be 11, and the headings
should be bold. The font size of the subsections should be the
same as the texts (9), and they should be italic.
- Article should be divided into numbered and clearly defined
sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1,
1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section
MATTER 4

numbering). This numbering can also be used for internal cross- - For the numbered list:
referencing: do not just refer to 'the text.' Any subsection should
be given a brief heading, and each heading should appear on its 1. Example 1
separate line. 2. Example 2
3. Example 3
- You should not indent a paragraph in the first paragraph under
the heading, but you should indent a paragraph (4 spacing or 0.3 One column:
cm) in the next ones you add under the same heading as shown in
Table 1. Name of the table
the beginning.

- All illustrations should be captioned as “Figure.” Each A B C D

illustration should have a caption. Figures and captions should Example 1 Example 1 Example 1 Example 1
be submitted on the same page. A caption should comprise a Example 2 Example 2 Example 2 Example 2
brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the Example 3 Example 3 Example 3 Example 3
illustration. Text in the illustrations should be minimized, but it Example 4 Example 4 Example 4 Example 4
should explain all the symbols and abbreviations used. Example 5 Example 5 Example 5 Example 5
Example 6 Example 6 Example 6 Example 6
- You should submit tables as editable text and not as images. Example 7 Example 7 Example 7 Example 7
Tables can be placed either next to the relevant text in the article Example 8 Example 8 Example 8 Example 8
or on separate page(s) at the end. Number tables consecutively Example 9 Example 9 Example 9 Example 9
in accordance with their appearance in the text. Please avoid Example 10 Example 10 Example 10 Example 10
using vertical rules and shading in table cells. Some tables and Example 11 Example 11 Example 11 Example 11
figures to be used in a single column or, if necessary, in two
columns can be found below. Do not forget to adjust the columns
for that purpose.

- The relevant text and explanations about tables or figures

should be placed and referred before them. Examples can be
seen on the second page.

- You should submit the math equations as editable text, not

images. Please use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for
small fractional terms. Powers of e can be denoted by exp. If the
equations need to be referred to in the text, please number them
consecutively by using an insert caption. The equation should be
referred to with cross-reference. An example of a math equation
can be seen below.

F=1 – exp [a – b+(k /2)]+(x)2 , a>0 , (1)

2. Experimental/Methodology/Design
- Sufficient details should be provided to allow the work to be
replicated by an independent researcher and obtain the exact
same results. There should be descriptions of the equipment
used, the materials that were tested and parameters of
experiments, etc. The processes should be described in
chronological order, and all the steps should be explained in the
order followed during the experiment. Methods that are already
published should be summarized and indicated by a reference.
- Methods applied in the research design (e.g., field research,
participant observation, quantitative analysis, semi-structured
interviews, case study, historical analysis) should be mapped out
and described. How methodology, research techniques, and
datasets are selected and designed should be clearly explained.

Materials Engineering for their support and encouragement.
6. References
- All references to other papers, books, etc., should be given at
the end of the paper under the references section. The numbering
should be a sequence starting at the beginning of the paper. The
numbers (in brackets) should appear in the text in the
appropriate places. The reference type should be IEEE. It is
optional, but you can use third-party applications such as
Mendeley, EndNote, Zotero, etc. If the source has a DOI number,
it should be added.

Text: References should be indicated with the number(s) in

3. Results and Discussion
- Results and discussion should be written together. Results
should be clear and concise. Discussion should develop a cogent
explanation for the results and explore their significance. In the
case of computational studies, results should be compared with
information available from published experimental work, if
possible.
- The data and results of the investigation or experiment should
be presented in this section with the necessary numbers,
calculations, tables, plots, figures, etc. Explanation, analysis,
and interpretation of the result should be included.
4. Conclusion
- The study’s main conclusions may be presented in a short
Conclusions section, which should stand alone.
- The information given in the result or discussion part should
not be repeated unless particular emphasis is needed.
- Following questions can be considered[1]:
1. What does this study show as new?
2. What hypotheses were proved or disproved?
3. What did I learn after this paper?
4. Why does this work make a difference?
5. How did this paper contribute to the present literature?
square brackets where necessary in the text. The reference
number(s) should always be given, even if the actual authors are
referred.
[2] = This notation indicates reference 2 only.
[3,6] = This notation indicates references 3 and 6.
[2-4] = This notation indicates references 2, 3, and 4.
(Reference numbers were given randomly to show an example.)
