Submissions

All manuscripts must be submitted to the ITEECS, to the editorial office through online submission. Where author must register as the author. If authors are experiencing problems with the online submission, they can contact the editorial office at email: crreddy229@gmail.com or the chief editor at email: editor@iteecs.com. 

The following documents must be submitted together with the manuscript (as supplementary files):

• A Manuscript with ITEECS instructions under the following Template or a free format submission. However, for free format submission, the minimum requirements of citation and reference format must be fulfilled. 
• A cover letter outlines the basic findings of the paper and their significance.
• We encourage the authors to  provide ORCID ID or  Scopus ID or Researcher ID or Institution profile link of authors when you submit the manuscript via the online submission system

Reviewing manuscripts

Every submitted paper is independently reviewed by at least two peer reviewers. Decision for publication, amendment, or rejection is based upon their reports/recommendations. If two or more reviewers consider a manuscript unsuitable for publication in this journal, a statement explaining the basis for the decision will be sent to the authors within two months of the submission date.

All manuscripts will be checked for plagiarism detection using Ithenticate or Turnitin, and therefore, we strongly encourage authors to do a similarity test before submission. The manuscript with has higher 20% similarity will be directly rejected. 

English editing

To facilitate proper peer-reviewing of your manuscript, it must be submitted in grammatically correct English. If you are not a native English speaker, we recommend that you have your manuscript professionally edited before submission or read by a native English-speaking colleague. Professional editing will enable reviewers and future readers to more easily read and assess the content of submitted manuscripts. The submission with poor English quality will be directly rejected.

Standard structure of an article

Original articles in IMRAD format (at least 6000 words), inclusive of all parts of the paper. Typescripts should be arranged as follows, with each section starting on a separate page.

Title Page

• A concise and informative title.
• A list of author names, affiliation(s), e-mail addresses and Orcid or Scopus or Researcher IDs.
• The name, complete mailing address (including e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers) of the corresponding author.

Abstract. A concise and factual abstract (150-250 words) is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential, they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. 
Keywords. A list not exceeding ten words or short phrases, excluding words used in the title and chosen carefully to reflect the precise content of the paper.

Introduction. State the reason for the work, the context, background, aims and the hypotheses being tested. End the Introduction with a brief statement of what has been achieved. It has mainly the following parts. Background of the research, Literature survey, Research gaps identified, Research problem, Research contributions towards the solution of the mentioned research problem and organization of the paper. 

Materials and methods. Include sufficient details for the work to be repeated. Where specific equipment and materials are named, the manufacturer’s details (name, city and country) should be given so that readers can trace specifications by contacting the manufacturer. Where commercially available software has been used, details of the supplier should be given in brackets or the reference given in full in the reference list. This section should clearly explain the materials and methodologies used. 

Results and Discussion. State the results of experimental or modelling work, drawing attention to important details in tables and figures and discuss them intensively by citing other references.

Conclusion. Give the main findings and conclude the results and discussion, you may also suggest the limitations, scope of the work and future directions. 

Tables. Each table should be inserted in body-text and numbered as well as accompanied by a legend at the top. These should be referred to in the text as Table 1, etc. Avoid duplication between figures and tables.

Figures. Figures and their legends should be inserted in the body of the manuscript. Figures should be referred to in the text as Fig. 1, Figs 1 & 2, etc. Photographic material should also be referred to as Figures. The figures must be in high resolution and of good quality.

Citations. The references should be cited in the text with [1], [2-3] etc. The format for papers, conference proceedings, entire books and chapters in books is as follows:
