Instructions to Authors　　　　　　　　　　　　(Last updated: Oct 25, 2023)

Introduction

This Instruction to Authors is to provide help for authors who wish to submit their papers in double column format to some Techno-Press journals. For the list of Techno-Press journals in double column format: (Journals)

1. Submission of the paper

Authors are asked to submit manuscripts in PDF (or Latex) format electronically through the Techno-Press Manuscript Upload System (TeMUS) (http://www.techno-press.com/papers). Exceptionally, the special issue papers may be directly submitted to the Guest Editor. If you have difficulties in using TeMUS, please contact us at[[email protected]]. On receiving submitted papers, the system will issue the paper ID and Password to the corresponding author, which may be conveniently used to check the status of submitted papers.

2. Preparation of the manuscript

General : The manuscripts should be in English and typed with double column and single line spacing on single side of A4 paper. Submitted papers will be published in the category of regular technical papers only. The first page of an article should contain: (1) a title of paper which well reflects the contents of the paper (Arial, 15pt), (2) all the name(s) and affiliations(s) of authors(s) (Arial, 11pt), (3) an abstract of 100~250 words (Times New Roman, 9.5pt), (4) 5-10 keywords following the abstract, and (5) footnote (personal title and email address of the corresponding author (required) and other authors' (not mandatory)). The paper should be concluded by proper conclusions which reflect the findings in the paper. The normal length of the technical paper should be about 8-16 journal pages (double column format).
Please refer to Authors’ Guide(A):http://www.techno-press.com/papers/Guide(A).pdf
Template(A): http://www.techno-press.com/papers/Template(A).docx
Tables and figures : Tables and figures should be consecutively numbered and have short titles. They should be referred to in the text as following examples (e.g., Fig. 1(a), Figs. 1 and 2, Figs. 1(a)-(d) / Table 1, Tables 1-2), etc. Tables should have borders (1/2pt plane line) with the captions right before the table. Figures should be properly located in the text as an editable image file (.jpg) with captions on the lower cell. All of the original figures and tables are required to be placed at the suitable location in the text. It should be avoided whenever possible that a figure or table occupies both columns, in particular, it should not be stretched from one end to another.
Units and mathematical expressions : It is desirable that units of measurements and abbreviations should follow The International System of Units (SI) except where the other unit system is more suitable. The numbers identifying the displayed mathematical expression should be placed in the parentheses and referred to in the text as following examples (e.g., Eq. (1), Eqs. (1)-(2)). Mathematical expressions must be inserted as an object (set as Microsoft Equations 3.0) for Microsoft Word 2007 and later versions. Image-copied text or equations are not acceptable unless they are editable. The raised and lowered fonts cannot be used for superscription and subscription.
References : A list of references which reflect the current state of technology in the field locates after conclusions of the paper. For details to prepare the list of references and cite them in the text, authors are advised to follow the introduction and the sample list in the Authors' Guide of the instruction.

3. Review

All the submitted papers that have passed the preliminary check by the editors will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to judge their significance and originality. Those papers positively recommended by at least two expert reviewers will be finally accepted for publication in the Techno-Press Journals.

4. Proofs

Proofs will be sent to the corresponding author to correct any typesetting errors. Alterations to the original manuscript will not be accepted at this stage. Proofs should be returned within 48 hours of receipt.

5. Copyright

Submission of an article to a Techno-Press Journal implies that it presents the original and unpublished work, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. On acceptance of the submitted manuscript, it is implied that the copyright thereof is transferred to the publisher. The Agreement of Authorship, Originality, and Copyright Transfer must be signed and submitted.

6. Ethics

General: Techno-Press applies research and publication ethics standards based on COPE's International Standards for Editors and Authors (https://publicationethics.org/node/11184). Violation of publication ethics will result in the activation of COPE flow chart. (https://publicationethics.org/guidance/Flowcharts)
Authorship: Authors are encouraged to check ICMJE's guideline for authorship. (http://www.icmje.org/icmje-recommendations.pdf). Authorship problems will be dealt with according to COPE flowcharts. (https://publicationethics.org/authorship)

7. Open Access

There is an option of publishing your paper as Open Access. When you receive a formal acceptance email, you will find a link that you may click on to pay the Article Processing Charge (APC) for Open Access publishing.

Research and Publication Ethics

All the editors, publishers, researchers, and peer reviewers of Techno-Press journals strongly encourage to carefully review and follow the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines: https://publicationethics.org/guidance/Guidelines

1. Authorship

Authorship credit should be based on
    (1) Substantial contributors to the conception or design of the work or the acquisition, analysis
   or interpretation of data for the work,
    (2) Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content,
    (3) Final approval of the version to be published, and
    (4) Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related
   to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
Authors should meet these four conditions after the initial submission of a manuscript and any changes whatsoever in authorship (adding author(s), deleting author(s), or re-arranging the order of authors) must be explained by a letter to the editor from the authors concerned. This letter must be signed by all authors on the paper. Techno-Press does not correct authorship after the final acceptance unless a mistake has been made by the editorial staff. Authorship may be changed before the final acceptance when the authorship correction is requested by all of the authors involved with the manuscript. The corresponding author takes primary responsibility for communication with the journal during the manuscript submission, peer review, and publication process. The corresponding author should be available throughout the submission and peer review process to respond to editorial queries in a timely manner, and should be available to respond to critiques of the work and cooperate with any requests from the journal for data or additional information or questions about the paper even after publication.

2. Originality, plagiarism and duplicate publication

Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. No part of the accepted manuscript should be duplicated in any other journal without the permission of the Editorial Board. Submitted manuscripts are checked for possible plagiarism or duplicate publication upon the paper�셲 arrival. If plagiarism or duplicate publication is detected, the manuscripts may be rejected, the authors will be announced in the journal, and their institutions will be informed. There will also be penalties for the authors. A letter of permission is required for any and all material that has been published previously. It is the responsibility of the author to request permission from the publisher for any material that is being reproduced. This requirement applies to text, figures, and tables.

3. Conflict of interest statement

The corresponding author must inform the editor of any potential conflicts of interest that could influence the authors�� interpretation of the data. Examples of potential conflicts of interest are financial support from or connections to companies, political pressure from interest groups, and academically related issues. In particular, all sources of funding applicable to the study should be explicitly stated.

4. Process for managing research and publication misconduct

When the journal faces suspected cases of research and publication misconduct, such as redundant publication, plagiarism, fraudulent or fabricated data, changes in authorship, undisclosed conflict of interest, ethical problems with a submitted manuscript, appropriation by a reviewer of an author�셲 idea or data, and complaints against editors, the resolution process will follow the flowchart provided by COPE, (https://publicationethics.org/guidance/Flowcharts).
The discussion and decision on the suspected cases are carried out by the Editorial Board.

5. Editorial responsibilities

The Editorial Board will continuously work to monitor and safeguard publication ethics:
* Guidelines for retracting articles;
* Maintenance of the integrity of academic records;
* Preclusion of business needs from compromising intellectual and ethical standards;
* Publishing corrections, clarifications, retractions, and apologies when needed; and
* Excluding plagiarized and fraudulent data.
The editors maintain the following responsibilities:
* Responsibility and authority to reject and accept articles;
* Avoid any conflict of interest with respect to articles they reject or accept;
* Promote the publication of corrections or retractions when errors are found; and
* Preserve the anonymity of reviewers.
