ABSTRACT – It is important to write a concise and informative abstract (maximum 300 words). The aim of the study, the brief methodology, the main findings, and the major conclusions should all be included in the abstract. For an abstract to be effective, it must be stand-alone and self-explanatory. References, tables, and figures should not be cited in the abstract. Additionally, non-standard or unusual abbreviations should be avoided; nevertheless, if they are necessary, they must be explained at the time of their first mention in the abstract text.

• Sub-section headings, however, should be in lower-casewith their initials capitalized. They should be numbered as 1, 1.2, etc.
• The author (s) should define all abbreviationsused when the first time appeared in the text. A list of abbreviations may also be included at the end.
• It is strongly recommended that the author (s) should use the International System of Units (SI) units.
• If other quantitiesare referenced, please provide their SI equivalents.
• The manuscript should be written in the English language clearly and understandably.
• The manuscript should be proofread for proper spelling and grammar use.
• We shall promptly return any manuscripts that are not complete or are not in good condition.
• A well-established component of the editorial process is plagiarism screening.

Turnitin softwarewill be used to verify all submitted manuscripts for plagiarism check.

2.0 RELATED WORKS

• In the Related Works section, authors should provide a comprehensive overview of the existing literature related to their research.

• This section should include background information summarizing key studies that have laid the foundation for the work.

• Authors should reference previously published methods that are pertinent to their research, highlighting any modifications or improvements made to these methods [1].

• Additionally, it is important to compare and contrast different approaches and methodologies in the field, discussing their advantages, limitations, and how they relate to the current work.

• By positioning the research within the context of existing studies, authors can demonstrate its relevance and contribution to the field.

• This thorough and clear presentation ensures that readers understand the background and significance of the research.

 

3.0 METHODS AND MATERIAL

It is recommended that the authors provide adequate information to enable the work to be replicated.

• Methods that have previously been published should be referenced, and only relevant modifications should be mentioned.
• Figures should be self-explanatory and contain a short but adequately detailed caption.
• Figures should be provided in one of the following formats: PNG, EPS, TIFF, JPEG, BMP. The figure(s) should have a resolution of 600 dpi for grayscale and 300 dpi for colour.
• All figures must be numbered sequentially in the text in the same order in which they appear (e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2).
• Figure 1(a) and Figure 1(b) are examples of multi-part figures in which each component should be labelled.
• The figure(s) caption should be written in sentence cases and placed underneath the image, centre aligned, with no period at the end of the caption.

Figure 1. Figure caption

• Tables should be self-explanatory and include a concise yet sufficiently descriptive caption.
• Tables should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and referred to in the text by number. Table legends should follow the main text, each on a separate page.
• Tables must be submitted as editable text and not as images.
• Footnotes can be used to explain abbreviations but should not include detailed descriptions of the experiment.

This section must describe the methodology in detail: research design, sampling, data collection (if necessary).

4.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

• It is appropriate to combine the Results and Discussion sections into a single section.
• Clear and concise results are required.
• The significance of the work’s findings should be discussed in detail throughout the discussion section. Extensive citations and discussion of already published material should be avoided.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS

• A brief paragraph which summarises the main findings, and highlights the significance of the findings.
• There should also be the future directions and limitations of the study.
• There should not be any in-text citations, tables and figures in the conclusion.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

• Please also describe the role of the study sponsor(s) (if any) in study design; collection, analysis, and interpretation of data writing of the paper and decision to submit it for publication.
• Recognition of personal assistance should be given as a separate paragraph: people who contributed to the work, but do not fit the criteria for authors should be listed along with their contributions.
• You must ensure that anyone named in the acknowledgments agrees to being so named.
• Formatting of funding sources: List funding sources in this standard way to facilitate compliance to funder’s requirements:
• Funding

AUTHORS CONTRIBUTION

• Authors are encouraged to provide an author statement file describing their specific contributions to the article using the appropriate author contribution roles to increase transparency.
• The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all authors agree on the accuracy of the descriptions.
• All authors’ roles should be mentioned, using the appropriate categories underneath. Authors may have played a variety of roles in their contributions.
• Contributions from authors do not affect the criteria for authorship established by the journal.
• The following are the words used to describe author contributions : Conceptualization; Methodology; Validation; Formal analysis; Data curation; Formal analysis; Investigation; Resources; Software; Visualization; Writing – original draft; Writing – review & editing; Funding acquisition; Project administration; Supervision.
• Authorship statements should be formatted with the names of authors first and the author contribution role(s) following, such as

W.T. Urmi (Methodology; Data curation; Writing – original draft; Resources)

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

It should disclose any financial or non-financial interests such as political, personal, or professional relationships that may be interpreted as having influenced the manuscript.

The phrase “The authors declare no conflicts of interest” should be included if there is no conflict of interest.”

REFERENCES

• Relevant and up-to-date references must be included in the text.
• All references in the text should be numbered sequentially [in square brackets], and all references in the reference section should be presented in the same numerical sequence.
• Within the square brackets, several citations should be separated by commas to avoid confusion.
• It is necessary to provide ranges in the situation of more than two sequential references.
• Reference citations should not be included in the title, headers, or abstract of the paper.
• It is suggested that the reference list be formatted solely in accordance with the Vancouver Style.
• The names of all authors should be included if there are six or fewer authors in the reference.
• It is typical to list the first three authors, followed by the phrase “et al.”when there are seven or more authors.
• Citation manipulation refers to the excessive citation of an author’s study (i.e., self-citation by authors) for the sole purpose of boosting the number of citations of the author’s work (COPE, 2019).
• Mekatronika journal encourage authors to restrict self-citation to a minimum to control citation manipulation.
• Mekatronika journal highly advises using no more than 5 (including jointly authored publications) or 20 per cent self-citations, whichever is lower, in any given publication.
