IJPEDS Guide for Authors and Template

Kindly please download the IJPEDS template in MS Word or Latex.

1). PLEASE ADHERE STRICTLY THE GUIDELINES OF AUTHORS http://iaescore.com/gfa/ijpeds.docx (Use this file as your paper template!!)

2). It is mandatory to present your final paper according to "IMRADC style" format, i.e.:
     1. INTRODUCTION
     2. The Proposed Method/Algorithm/Procedure specifically designed (optional)
     3. METHOD
     4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
     5. CONCLUSION
     See http://iaescore.com/gfa/ijpeds.docx

3). Add biographies of authors as our template (include links to the 4 authors' profiles, do not delete any icons in the template). Provide links for all authors to the four icons (Scholar, Scopus, WoS, and ORCID) as completely as possible. It is mandatory for authors to provide the information.

4). Please ensure that all references have been cited in your text. Use a tool such as EndNote, Mendeley, or Zotero for reference management and formatting, and choose IEEE style. Each citation should be written in the order of appearance in the text in square brackets. For example, the first citation [1], the second citation [2], and the third and fourth citations [3], [4]. When citing multiple sources at once, the preferred method is to list each number separately, in its own brackets, using a comma or dash between numbers, as such: [1], [3], [5]. It is not necessary to mention an author's name, pages used, or date of publication in the in-text citation. Instead, refer to the source with a number in a square bracket, e.g. [9], that will then correspond to the full citation in your reference list. Examples of in-text citations:
- This theory was first put forward in 1970 [9].
- Blaabjerg [10] has argued that ...
- Several recent studies [7], [9], [11]-[15] have suggested that....
- ... end of the line for my research [16].

We usually expect a minimum of 2n+9 references (for original research paper) and 4n+18 (for review/survey paper) primarily for journal articles, where n=page length of your papers (in simple words for 8 pages, number of references is min 25 for research papers and 50 entries for review/study papers). Citations of textbooks should be used very rarely and citations to web pages should be avoided. All cited papers should be referenced within the text of the manuscript.

5). Please present all references as completely as possible and use IEEE style (include information on DOIs, volume, number, pages, etc). If it is available, DOI information is mandatory!! See http://iaescore.com/gfa/ijpeds.docx

 

Checklist for preparing your paper for publication

  1. Is your manuscript written in IAES format?  At this stage, it is essential that you follow every detail of IAES format. Please try to follow the format as closely as possible.
  2. Is your title adequate and is your abstract correctly written? The title of the paper is maxed 10 words, without Acronym or abbreviation. The Abstract (MAX 200 WORDS) should be informative and completely self-explanatory (no citation in the abstract), provide a clear statement of the problem, the proposed approach or solution, and point out major findings and conclusions.
  3. Authors are suggested to present their articles in the structure of the sections: 1. Introduction - 2. The Proposed Method/Algorithm/Procedure specifically designed (optional) - 3. Research Method - 4. Results and Discussion – 5. Conclusion. Authors may present complex proofs of theorems or non-obvious proofs of correctness of algorithms after the introduction section (obvious theorems & straightforward proofs of existing theorems are NOT needed).
  4. Introduction section: explain the context of the study and state the precise objective. An Introduction should contain the following three parts (within 3-7 paragraphs):
    - Background: Authors have to make clear what the context is. Ideally, authors should give an idea of the state-of-the-art field the report is about.
    - The Problem: If there was no problem, there would be no reason for writing a manuscript, and definitely no reason for reading it. So, please tell readers why they should proceed with reading. Experience shows that for this part a few lines are often sufficient.
    - The Proposed Solution: Now and only now! - authors may outline the contribution of the manuscript. Here authors have to make sure readers point out what are the novel aspects of authors' work.
    Authors should place the paper in proper context by citing relevant papers. At least, 10 references (recent journal articles) are cited in this section.
  5. Method section: the presentation of the experimental methods should be clear and complete in every detail facilitating reproducibility by other scientists.
  6. Results and discussion section: The presentation of results should be simple and straightforward in style. This section report the most important findings, including results of statistical analyses as appropriate and comparisons to other research results. Results given in figures should not be repeated in tables. This is where the author(s) should explain in words what he/she/they discovered in the research. It should be clearly laid out and in a logical sequence. This section should be supported suitable references.
  7. Conclusion section: Summarize sentences the primary outcomes of the study in a paragraph. Are the claims in this section supported by the results, do they seem reasonable? Have the authors indicated how the results relate to expectations and to earlier research? Does the article support or contradict previous theories? Does the conclusion explain how the research has moved the body of scientific knowledge forward?
  8. Language. If an article is poorly written due to grammatical errors, while it may make it more difficult to understand the science.
  9. Please be sure that the manuscript is up to date. The number of minimum references is 25 to 30 entries (and the 20 entries are recent journal articles) for original research articles; and the minimum references is 50 to 55 entries for review papers.
  10. Is the manuscript clearly written?  Is the article exciting? Does the content flow well from one section to another? Please try to keep your manuscript on the proper level.  It should be easy to understand by well-qualified professionals, but at the same time please avoid describing well-known facts (use proper references instead). Often manuscripts receive negative reviews because reviewers are not able to understand the manuscript and this is authors' (not reviewers') fault.  Notice, that if reviewers have difficulties, then other readers will face the same problem and there is no reason to publish the manuscript.
  11. Do you have enough references?  We will usually expect a minimum of 25 references primarily to journal papers, depending on the length of the paper. Citations of textbooks should be used very rarely and citations to web pages should be avoided. All cited papers should be referenced within the text of the manuscript.
  12. Figures and Tables. Relation of Tables or Figures and Text: Because tables and figures supplement the text, all tables and figures should be referenced in the text. Avoid placing figures and tables before their first mention in the text. Authors also must explain what the reader should look for when using the table or figure. Focus only on the important point the reader should draw from them, and leave the details for the reader to examine on her own.

    Figures:
    a.    All figures appearing in an article must be numbered in the order that they appear in the text.
    b.    Each figure must have a caption fully explaining the content
    c.    Figure captions are presented as a paragraph starting with the figure number i.e. Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.
    d.    Figure captions appear below the figure
    e.    Each figure must be fully cited if taken from another article
    f.    All figures must be referred to in the body of the article
    g.    Use .PNG or .JPEG formatting for embedded figures and images.
    h.    For figures, be sure to include a label (Figure X) and a title (a short non-sentence description).

    Tables:
    a.    Material that is tabular in nature must appear in a numbered captioned table.
    b.    All tables appearing in the article must be numbered in the order that they appear in the text.
    c.    Each table must have a caption fully explaining the content with the table number i.e. Table 1, Table 2, etc.
    d.    Each column must have a clear and concise heading
    e.    Tables are to be presented with a single horizontal line under: the table caption, the column headings and at the end of the table.
    f.    All tables must be referred to in the body of the article
    g.    Each table must be fully cited if taken from another article
  13. Each citation should be written in the order of appearance in the text in square brackets. For example, the first citation [1], the second citation [2], and the third and fourth citations [3], [4]. When citing multiple sources at once, the preferred method is to list each number separately, in its own brackets, using a comma or dash between numbers, as such: [1], [3], [5] or [4]-[8]. It is not necessary to mention an author's name, pages used, or date of publication in the in-text citation. Instead, refer to the source with a number in a square bracket, e.g. [9], that will then correspond to the full citation in your reference list. Examples of in-text citations:
    • This theory was first put forward in 1970 [9].
    • Sutikno [10] has argued that...
    • Several recent studies [7], [9], [11]-[15] have suggested that....
    • ...end of the line for my research [16].
  14. Self-citations: to control for citation manipulation (COPE, 2019), this journal asks that authors keep self-citation to a minimum. We would strongly recommend no more than 5 (including jointly authored publications), or 20% self-citations, whichever number is lower.  
  15. Please be aware that for the final submission of a regular paper you will be asked to tailor your paper so the last page is not half empty.

Authors should place the paper in proper context by citing relevant papers. At least 10 references (recent journal articles) are referenced to support this section.

(2) Conclusion section: Summarize sentences the primary outcomes of the study in a paragraph. Are the claims in this section supported by the results, do they seem reasonable? Have the authors indicated how the results relate to expectations and to earlier research? Does the article support or contradict previous theories? Does the conclusion explain how the research has moved the body of scientific knowledge forward?

(3) About Figures & Tables in your manuscript:
- Because tables and figures supplement the text, all tables and figures should be REFERRED in the text. Authors MUST EXPLAIN what the reader should look for when using the table or figure. Focus only on the important points the reader should draw from them, and leave the details for the reader to examine on her own.
- Tables are to be presented with a single horizontal line under: the table caption, the column headings and at the end of the table. All tables are produced by creating tables in MS Word. Captured tables are NOT allowed.
- All figures MUST be presented in high quality images

 

Policy of Plagiarism Detection

The peer-review process is at the heart of scientific publishing. As part of IAES's commitment to protecting the integrity of the scholarly record, IAES feels a strong obligation to support the scientific community in all aspects of research and publishing ethics. All submitted manuscripts must be free from plagiarism. All authors are suggested to use plagiarism detection software to do similarity checking before submitting their manuscript to the journal (please use iThenticate or Turnitin to check the similarity). Editors will also check the similarity of manuscripts in this journal by using Turnitin or iThenticate software. The manuscript will be instantly rejected if there is plagiarism indicated or detected.

The final camera-ready should also be checked for similarity rate. The overall similarity rate of a manuscript should not exceed 25 percent, and the similarity rate to a single source shouldn't exceed 10 percent.

 

Withdrawal of Manuscripts

Authors are not allowed to withdraw submitted manuscripts because the withdrawals are a waste of valuable resources because editors and referees have invested a great deal of time and money in processing submitted manuscripts. If authors still request withdrawal of their manuscripts when the manuscripts are still in the peer-reviewing process, they will be punished by paying $200 per manuscript as a withdrawal penalty to the publisher. However, it is unethical to withdraw a submitted manuscript from one journal if it has been accepted by another journal. The withdrawal of manuscripts after they have been accepted for publication will be punished by the author by paying US $500 per manuscript. Manuscripts can only be taken back after the penalty for taking them back has been paid in full.
