In such cases, the author/s are asked to revise and upload the article. Only articles with a similarity rate of 20% or below are taken to the double-blind review evaluation process. Similarity report to be taken from the relevant programs should be uploaded to the journal system in PDF format along with the article (as an additional file).

Ethics Committee Report & Declaration

For the carried out studies, the permit or ethical declaration form obtained from the relevant institutions and organizations regarding the data, information and documents within the frame of academic and ethical rules must be uploaded to the system (as an additional file).

Preparation of Manuscript

Author(s) should use these specific styles for each part (for example title, abstract, keyword etc.) of the manuscript. The detailed information about these styles can be found in the template file.

Research articles are usually 7 to 16 pages long. In special cases, shorter or longer articles may be accepted. There is not any page limit in IMIENS.

The language of the journal is English. Any other languages are not accepted for publication.

Author(s) should provide English versions of the title, abstract and keywords.

Abstract section of the manuscript should be between 100 and 300 words.

Paragraphs should not start with indentation.

 

The full name(s) of the author(s) should be given. In addition the e-mail address(es), affiliation(s), and ORCID's of all author’s should be provided. The telephone number of the corresponding author should be written.

Keywords should start with a bold “Keywords” title and should not exceed six keywords. Each keyword should be separated with comma symbol.

The citations should be given in IEEE Style. Authors can get help from citation management applications/tools when preparing their papers. The title of the citations section should be “References”.

In text citations should be written in square brackets like [1], [3-5] etc.

Equations should be aligned centered. Equation number should be written inside parenthesis and placed to the right side of the equation, aligned right in the page. Equations should be cited with their full name like “As seen in Equation 1” or like “As seen in Equations 3 and 4”.

Tables should be centered in the page. Table number and caption should be written above the table. Tables should be cited with their full name like “As seen in Table 1” or like “As seen in Tables 3 and 4”.

Figures should be centered in the page. Figure number and caption should be written below the figure. They should be cited with their full name like “As seen in Figure 1” or like “As seen in Figures 3 and 4”.

The following examples are taken from the guideline “IEEE Reference Guide” by IEEE Periodicals Transactions/Journals Department 445 Hoes Lane Piscataway, NJ 08854 USA. The detailed guide is given in here.

Revision of Article

For the articles requiring corrections, first, a RESPONSE TO REVIEWER file is created. This file consists of a table containing reviewer recommendations and responses to reviewers (Table 1).

Authors should create a table for each reviewer recommendation and provided response, indicating their thoughts on the recommendations.

The revised text of the article, with corrections (changes, additions, or deletions) highlighted, should be appended to the continuation of the Response to Reviewer file.

These processes are continued after each round of corrections requested by the reviewers.
