Submissions

Author Guidelines

Manuscript (prepared in Microsoft Word) must be submitted to the Editor in Chief using the online submission link of the Journal Website/Web portal. English will be the official language of the Journal's communication and publication. However, articles can use Amharic or another Ethiopian language as a special case of localization of scientific, technology, and engineering scripts in partial using linguistically localized modes.

For instance; if a paper is language related in which linguistic terms can be used as it is in that language scripts like Amharic but description and discussion should be in English only.

Original research articles/papers not previously submitted or published and not being considered for publication elsewhere only should be submitted. Corresponding authors must declare that the manuscript is submitted on behalf of all the authors. All the copyrights will be transferred to the publisher upon acceptance of the manuscript. The rejected manuscript will not be returned to the authors and submission of a manuscript signifies acceptance of the journal's guidelines for authors.

Note: This structure is not rigid however the specific discipline/sub-discipline can include their domain-specific sections/headings in their article/paper organization

1. Abstract: An abstract is a précised, summarized, and concise outline of the research paper/article with intellectual honesty in your own words. The abstract should cover a brief comprehensive summary of the contents of the component of the article. The abstract should state precisely the domain specification, problem statement, research gap, main objectives, significance, scope, methods, results, contribution, and conclusions. However, the recommendations and limitations of the article are optional. It should be truthful in its documentation, coherent and readable clarity without glitches.  Use verbs rather than their noun equivalents and the active rather than the passive voice (e.g., ‘observed’ rather than ‘an observation on’ and ‘the paper presented the results’ instead of ‘Results were presented’). Use the present tense to describe conclusions drawn or results with continuing applicability; use the past tense to describe specific variables manipulated or outcomes measured. The abstract should not be longer than 250-350 words maximum and should be completed in a single paragraph. Around 5 to 7 keywords i.e. most often technical terms that will provide indexing references should be listed in alphabetical order.  Avoid plural terms and multiple concepts. Keywords should be presented at the end of the article starting with Keywords followed by a colon (:). The keywords then follow italicized and separated from each other by a semicolon.
2. Introduction: The introduction of the general background of the research study. It should engage the reader in the problem of interest and provide a context for the study at hand. In introducing the research concern, the writer should provide a clear rationale for why the problem deserves new research, placing the study in the context of current knowledge and prior theoretical, experimental, and empirical work on the topic. The introduction should thus briefly explain the background and justification or statement of the scientific, technology, and engineering problem, the underlying hypothesis for conducting research or research questions, the research goal, and a review of the conceptual literature pertinent to the problem. At the end of the introduction, an explicit and precise statement of the aim of the work together with a brief outline of the research design, conclusion, contribution, and recommendations should be presented.
3. Review of Literature: This part of the paper/article needs a rigorous review of related papers/ articles/research done prior to the paper. It needs a critical and comprehensive review with honest scientific discussion or/and argumentation to highlight the strength, weaknesses, and gaps in the existing research. In the end; a strong scholarly claim for worth researchability and contribution should be claimed. Normally the last five years' latest research should be covered in this part with intellectual honesty.
4. Materials, Design, and Methods: A short explanation of the state of art affairs (research design specifications) under which the study was carried out and the research tools and methods used should be covered. In addition, the data source, sampling, collection and analysis methods, and statistical models, tools used should be clearly described. In order to maintain the quality, the tool, design, and method selection strategy should be based on parametric suitability assessment. 
5. Results and Discussion: This is a very important phase of the research paper. The Results section should include a summary of the collected data, observation, and analysis often using charts, graphs, tables, and figures. Both descriptive statistics and tests of significance should be clearly described in this section. In the Discussion section, the author evaluates and interprets the findings. Detailed interpretation of data should be discussed with reference to problems indicated in the introduction or stated as objectives with other earlier findings in the area of current research work. The credibility of evidence (result), comparison with already recorded results and observations, and the possible practical implications should be discussed. Authors should avoid duplicate reporting of data but instead should decide on the most comprehensible ways of presenting the information, whether it is through text or through the tabular or graphic form. In science, technology, and engineering researches the design, model, ontology, framework, or prototype should be covered, described, and validated for the functionality specifications. 
6. Tables: The caption and table no. should be depicted above the table. Tables are numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals (e.g., Table 1, Table 2) and should bear a short, yet adequately explanatory caption. Avoid using vertical and/or horizontal grid lines to separate columns and/or rows. Footnotes to tables are designated by lowercase letters which appear as superscripts inappropriate entries. All tables should be referenced in the text. In full-length papers maximum 8 result tables can be considered whereas short communications should include less than 3 result tables. Tables should be free from the copyrights of the web world. 
7. Figures: The caption and figure no. should be depicted down to the figure. Figures should be restricted to the display of results where a large number of values are presented and interpretation would be more difficult in Tables. Figures may not reproduce the same data as Tables. Figures should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals (e.g., Figure 1, Figure 2), and refer to all figures in the text. Originals of figures should preferably be A4 size, of good quality, drawn or produced on a good quality printer, and saved in a separate file. Vertical and horizontal axes should be labeled consequently. Figures should be free from the copyrights of the web world. 
8. Photographs: Photos should be free from the copyrights of the web world. Photos should be original and suitable for reproduction. It is essential that these images be submitted at appropriate levels of resolution. Photographs must be of professional quality and should be presented as black-and-white images unless they include color-specific information relevant to the study. If you photograph a person, obtain a signed release form from that person to use the photograph. If you use a photograph from another source, try to obtain the original photograph because photographs of photographs do not print clearly. Obtain written permission for reuse (in both print and electronic form) from the copyright holder, and acknowledge the author and the copyright holder in the figure caption. Photographs should be unmounted with lettering clearly indicated on overlays or photocopies. For composites, photographs should be unmounted and softcopy enclosed to indicate the required measurement. Magnification should be given in the legend or indicated by a scale or bar. They should be numbered as part of the sequence of Figures. 
9. Conclusions: Conclusions section should come next to the Results and Discussion section of the article. Conclusions can be stated in a few sentences. Authors are encouraged to forward a conclusion (two to three brief statements) from the study summarizing the main findings, showing research gaps for future research undertaking, and indicating the practical implications of the findings. Author(s) are also privileged to state contributions and recommendations (if needed). 
10. Conflict of interests: All authors are requested to unveil any concrete or potential conflict of interest within two years after publication including any financial, personal, or other affairs with other people or organizations' work that could improperly influence, or be perceived to influence their work. 
11. In-text citation: Follow the IEEE automatic style for all types of in-text citations. All the necessary fields should be filled in the citation form of the IEEE reference engine and the rest of the text citation will be arranged by the engine itself. 
12. References: The word References should appear in uppercase and lowercase letters, centered. Double-space all reference entries. The proposed Journal follows the IEEE standard Automatic style.
