Manuscript as Original Research Paper, Short Communication, Case Reports and Review or Mini-Review are invited for rapid peer-review publishing in Scientific Journal of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (SJMIE).

SJMIE´s main objective is to publish original researches, short communications as well as literature reviews in the all area of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Sciences. All manuscripts must be submitted in English and will be evaluated in a totally confidential and impartial way.


Prior to submitting your manuscript, please ensure that it has been prepared according to the guidelines below, with special emphasis on the style of presentation of the Author affiliations and the reference list.

Presentation of the article

MAIN FORMAT

The suggested length of a regular paper would be 4~10 pages, numbered and in this style. All fonts are Cambria, 10 pts and all content must be on one column.

First page: Title (must be in brief and properly identified), Name of Author(s), Affiliation and Address, Running Title (7 words or less), and Corresponding Author (including institutional address and e-mail address) should be given.

Second page: Add Abstract (max 400 words) and Key words (max. 7 words) at the bottom of abstract in alphabetical order. The abstract should concisely state what was done, how it was done, principal results, and their significance in a comprehensive paragraph.

Font type and size: Cambria, 14pt for the title (in capitalization for just first word of the title), 12, 10 and 9 pt(s) for other first page items as author's name, affiliations, and corresponding's email. 10pt for the main text and the section headings in the body of the text, double spaced, in A4 format with 2cm margins. All pages and lines of the main text should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript. The manuscript must be saved in a .doc format, (not .docx files). Abbreviations in the title are not allowed.

 

THE FOLLOWING PAGES

The main text of manuscript should be written in the order of Introduction, Materials and Methods (should be complete enough to allow experiments to be reproduced), Results (should be presented with clarity and precision), Discussion (should interpret the findings in view of the results obtained in this and in past studies on this topic), Acknowledgment and References. Results and Discussion can be presented jointly if preferred. All pages containing the main text should be presented in single column.

 

TABLES AND FIGURES

Table style and format should be per instructions for authors and recent issues. Each table should be on a separate page, numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and supplied with a heading and a legend. Tables should be self-explanatory without reference to the text. The details of the methods used in the experiments should preferably be described in the legend instead of in the text. The same data should not be presented in both table and graph forms or repeated in the text. Abbreviations used in a table must be defined in that table.

Figure legends should be typed in numerical order on a separate sheet. Graphics should be prepared using applications capable of generating high resolution GIF, TIFF, JPEG or PowerPoint before pasting in the Microsoft Word manuscript file. Use Arabic numerals to designate figures and upper case letters for their parts (Figure 1). Begin each legend with a title and include sufficient description so that the figure is understandable without reading the text of the manuscript. Information given in legends should not be repeated in the text. Figures to be printed in black and white should prepare in black and white. Abbreviations used in the figure must be defined in the caption of that figure.

CONCLUSION

Even though a conclusion may review the main results or contributions of the paper, do not duplicate the abstract or the introduction. For a conclusion, you might elaborate on the importance of the work or suggest the potential applications and extensions.

Appendix: Appendixes, if needed, appear before the acknowledgment.

Acknowledgements: Acknowledgments of persons, grants, funds, etc. should be brief. Also, for all papers lack of acknowledgment it stating: “The author(s) declare that they/he/she have/has no any conflicts of interest in the research.”)


REFERENCES

Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation follows the brackets [2]. Multiple references [2, 3] are numbered in same brackets [1–3]. When citing a section in a book, please give the relevant page numbers in the "References" section [2]. Do not use “Ref. [3]” or “reference [3]” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] shows ...” Please do not use automatic endnotes in Word, rather, type the reference list at the end of the paper using the “References” style.


         In the text:
---[1],--- [2, 3],--------[3-7].
         If sentences starts or cite name of references in the text:
--- Rolph et al. [1] stated that……; So that Smit and Janak [2] reported………; Mazumder [3] reported ---.

Please note that the references at the end of this document are in the preferred referencing style. Give all authors’ names; do not use “et al.” unless there are six authors or more. Use a space after authors’ initials. Papers that have not been published should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication, but not yet specified for an issue should be cited as “to be published” [5]. Papers that have been submitted for publication should be cited as “submitted for publication” [6]. Please give affiliations and addresses for private communications [7]. Capitalize only the first word in a paper title, except for proper nouns and element symbols. For papers published in translation journals, please give the English citation first, followed by the original foreign-language citation [8].

Peer Review Process:

An double blind reviewing model is used by SJMIE. The manuscript is reviewed and edited by two reviewers are selected by section editors of SJMIE, who are research workers specializing in the relevant field of study. Also, a reviewer result form is filled by reviewer to guide authors. One unfavourable review means that the paper will not be published. The costs of processing are covered by the authors or by the institutions from which the papers were sent.
Manuscript Proof: After review and accepting paper, a final formatted proof as well as declaration form are sent to the corresponding author. The corrected proof should be returned within three days. The Editor reserves the right to forward the manuscript to press without submitting the final proof to the author. The Editor shall not be hold responsible for any mistakes shown in the final publication.

Fees:

No Editing / Peer-Reviewing charges are required for publication of accepted articles in SJMIE. However, a 75$ USD (or its equivalent in EUR) handling fee will be required to only processing the accepted papers for publication. It depends on quality and acceptable format of submitted manuscripts.
Processing Charge: Article Processing Charge is a central mechanism for funding Open Access scholarly publishing like SJMIE which make their content available online to anyone and in doing so help solve the access challenges posed by subscription journals. Since Science-line Journals do not charge for access, we rely on other means of funding publication.
