Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name and e-mail address of each author.
  • Corresponding author: Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication. Ensure that phone numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.

Abstract

A concise abstract not exceeding 180-240 words is required for original articles and other article types. The abstract should be structured for original articles. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, settings and design, material and methods, statistical analysis used, the principal results, and conclusions. The abstract should not be structured for a brief report, review article, symposia, and research methodology. Do not include references in the abstract. A last paragraph of the abstract should provide 5 to 10 Keywords/Index Terms. Under the heading Index Terms (Index Terms/Keywords - …….) must be provided.

Nomenclature

Define all the abbreviations that are used in the paper and present a list of abbreviations with their definition in the Nomenclature section. Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the article. Do not use any abbreviation in the paper, which has not been defined and listed in the Nomenclature section.

Subdivision - Numbered Sections

Divide the article into numbered Sections as I, II, II, …... and its heading should be written in CAPITAL LETTERS. The Subsections should be numbered I. I (then I.I.I, I.I.II ...), I.II, etc., and should be written in Title Case. The Abstract, Nomenclature, Appendix, Acknowledgement, and References will not be included in section numbering. In fact, section numbering will start from Introduction and will continue till Conclusion. The Subsections should also be given a brief heading, written in title case, and should appear in a separate line. All headings of sections and subsections should be left-aligned.

Introduction

The introduction should lead the reader to the importance of the study; tie-up published literature with the aims of the study and clearly states the rationale behind the investigation. It should state the purpose and summarize the rationale for the study and gives a concise background. Use references to provide the most salient background rather than an exhaustive review. The last sentence should concisely state your purpose for carrying out the study or a summary of the results.

As a last paragraph of the introduction should provide the organization of the paper/article (Rest of the paper is organized as follows, Section I contains the introduction of ……., Section II contain the related work of ………, Section III contain some measures of …….., Section IV contain the architecture and essential steps of ………., section V explain the ………… methodology with a flow chart, Section VI describes results and discussion ….., Section VII contain the recommendation of ……… and Section VIII concludes research work with future directions).

Related Work

In this section, the author describes the previous research works in the form of title, problem statement, objectives, not repeat the information discussed in the Introduction.

Theory/Calculation

This section should extend, not repeat the information discussed in the Introduction. In contrast, a Calculation Section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis.

Methodology
This section includes the details about your proposed method, flowchart, proposed models or techniques, and others.

Result
This section should present clearly but succinctly the experimental findings. Only results essential to establish the main points of the work should be included. Results should be presented in a logical sequence in the form of a table, graph, figure, case study, chart, etc. Numerical data should be analyzed using appropriate simulation or statistical tools and techniques. Figures/Tables/Flowcharts/Equations/Formulas should draw the pictures himself. Please do not give scanned equation/formula.

Discussion
The discussion section should be as concise as possible and should include a brief statement of the principal findings, a discussion of the strength of the findings, a discussion of the findings in light of other published work dealing with the same or closely related subjects, and a statement of the possible significance of the work. Extensive discussion of the literature is discouraged.

Conclusion and Future Scope


The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusion Section. In this section, the author(s) should also briefly discuss the limitations of the research and the Future Scope for improvement.

Appendix(Define the last page of paper)


If there are multiple appendices, they should be identified as A, B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq. (B.1) and so on. Similar nomenclature should be followed for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.

Acknowledgment
If desired, authors may provide acknowledgments at the end of the article, before the references. The organizations/individuals who provided help during the research (e.g. providing language help, writing assistance, proofreading the article, sponsoring the research, etc.) may be acknowledged here.

References[should provide 08 minimum References]


List and number all bibliographical references in 9-point Times, single-spaced, at the end of your paper. When referenced in the text, enclose the citation number in square brackets, for example [1]. Where appropriate, include the name(s) of editors of referenced books. The template will number citations consecutively within brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference number, as in [3]-do not use "Ref. [3]" or "reference [3]" except at the beginning of a sentence: "Reference [3] was the first . . ." Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited. Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes. Unless there are six authors or more give all authors' names; do not use "et al.". Papers that have not been published, even if they have been submitted for publication, should be cited as "unpublished" [4,5]. Papers that have been accepted for publication should be cited as "in the press" [6.7]. 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].

Citation in text


Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). The references in the reference list should follow the standard IJSDCS/ IEEE reference style of the journal and citation of a reference.

IJSDCS except for the only book, journal, and conference papers for citation; please do not use website URL references in the references section.
