Author Guidelines

Authors are able to submit manuscripts to the journal directly through the journal's OJS website by selecting the role of “Author” during the registration process.

1. Online Submission Process

  1. Log in using the username and password created during registration.

  2. Click on "New Submission" and follow the processing steps.

  3. Upload the submission file (in Microsoft Word format).

  4. Provide complete metadata and indexing information for all authors.

  5. Follow the steps until the fifth step and click "Finish Submission".

  6. You can check the status of your manuscript periodically in your "Active Submissions" dashboard.

ATTENTION! Authors must present their papers honestly without plagiarism or data manipulation. All authors must take public responsibility for the content of their paper. Please ensure to check for spelling and grammar before submitting your paper. Anyone who has made independent contributions to the manuscript should be invited to become a co-author.

2. Paper Preparation & Formatting

Please use the official ESSI Manuscript Template (Microsoft Word) to ensure the correct format. Papers not fulfilling the formatting requirements will be rejected during the initial screening to ensure a fast publication process.

  • Language & Length: Written in clear English, minimum of 6 pages.

  • Page Layout: A4 paper (21 × 29.7 cm), single-spaced, double-column format.

  • Margins: Top: 46.5 mm; Bottom & Left: 20 mm; Right: 15 mm. Do not violate margins (text, tables, figures, and equations must stay within these limits).

  • Columns: Column width is 81.2 mm with a 12.5 mm space between the two columns. Paragraph indentation is 7.5 mm. Use full justification.

  • List and Bullet Points: Do not use bullet points or numbered lists in the body text of the manuscript. Explain your points using descriptive paragraphed sentences. Bullet points are strictly reserved only for formatting specific headers or subheaders.

  • Typography (Times New Roman):

    • Paper Title: 16 pt, Bold (Do not use all caps).

    • Author Names: 12 pt.

    • Affiliations & Correspondence: 8 pt.

    • Body Text: 9 pt.

    • Abstract: 7.5 pt.

    • Keywords: 9 pt.

  • Headings:

    • Primary: Arabic numeral followed by a period (e.g., 1. Introduction), left-aligned. First letter of important words capitalized.

    • Secondary: Enumerated by primary and secondary numerals (e.g., 1.1. Background).

    • Tertiary: Enumerated by three numerals (e.g., 1.1.1. Signal Processing).

  • Figures and Tables: Place figure titles below the figures and table titles above the tables. Use Arabic numerals. Ensure axis titles include units. Do not put borders around figures. Large items may span both columns but must not extend into margins.

  • Equations: Use the Microsoft Word Equation Editor. Number equations consecutively with Arabic numerals in parentheses flush with the right margin, e.g., (1). Define symbols before or immediately following the equation.

3. Parts of the Paper

Manuscripts must consist of the following sections in order:

  • Paper Title: Uppercase and lowercase letters (Title Case).

  • Author Line: Full names preferred. Do not use all uppercase for surnames. Include affiliations and countries. The corresponding author must provide an email (institutional email preferred).

  • Abstract: 200-250 words. Concisely state the aim, method, principal results, and significance. No equations, figures, tables, or references.

  • Keywords: Up to 10 keywords to identify major topics.

  • Nomenclature (Optional): Precedes the Introduction if needed.

  • 1. Introduction: State the background, problem significance, purpose, gap analysis, and hypothesis. Provide references for previous works and clearly state your research's novelty.

  • 2. Methods: Explain the methodology in sufficient detail to allow reproduction of the research.

  • 3. Results and Discussions: Connect findings to concepts/hypotheses. Compare with other researchers' works. Write implications (theoretical or applied) in a logical sequence.

  • 4. Conclusions: Link directly to the title and objectives. Do not use bulleted points; use paragraphed sentences instead. Do not make statements unsupported by findings.

  • Appendix (Optional): Appears before the acknowledgment.

  • Acknowledgment (Optional): State financial support or grants (e.g., "This work was supported by [Funder] under Grant [Number].").

  • References: Ensure completeness. Use citation software (Mendeley, EndNote). Use IEEE Reference Style.

  • Biographies: Full name, higher education, occupation, and fields of interest. No photographs.

4. Reference Style (IEEE Format)

Each citation must be complete and correct. List only one reference per number. Give all authors' names; do not use et al. unless there are more than 6 authors (depending on specific IEEE manual rules, but listing all is preferred here).
