Author Guidelines

I. How to Submit Manuscripts

Authors are required to submit their manuscripts through the Online Journal System (OJS) of Electron Today. Submissions must be made electronically via the official journal website. The online submission system will guide authors step-by-step through the submission process, including metadata entry, file upload, and confirmation. Upon successful submission, the Editorial Office will acknowledge receipt of the manuscript via email. In case of technical difficulties, authors may contact the Editorial Office through the official journal contact email provided on the website.

Initial Editorial Screening

All submitted manuscripts will undergo an initial editorial evaluation to assess:

  • Relevance to the journal scope
  • Originality and scientific contribution
  • Compliance with submission guidelines
  • Basic methodological soundness

The editorial decision regarding progression to peer review is typically made within two weeks.

Author Declaration

During submission, the corresponding author must confirm that:

  1. All listed authors have read and approved the manuscript.
  2. The manuscript represents original work of the authors.
  3. The manuscript has not been published previously and is not under consideration elsewhere.
  4. All data presented are accurate and ethically obtained.

Revisions

Manuscripts requiring revision will be returned to the authors with reviewers’ comments.

  • Authors must submit revised manuscripts within the deadline specified by the Editor.
  • Revisions must include a detailed response to reviewers, outlining changes made.
  • Failure to resubmit within the assigned deadline may result in automatic rejection.

Resubmissions

Rejected manuscripts may be resubmitted only if substantial improvements have been made. Resubmitted papers will be treated as new submissions and subjected to a new review process.

II. Accepted File Format

  • Manuscripts must be prepared using the Microsoft Word template provided by Electron Today. Download Here.
  • The total file size must not exceed 5 MB.
  • All components (text, tables, figures) must be compiled into a single Word file prior to submission.
