Original Research Articles

Report the results of empirical, experimental, design, or development research in the scope of the journal.

Review Articles

Provide a systematic or critical review of an active research area, such as a systematic literature review or a bibliometric analysis, and must offer a clear synthesis rather than a summary of previous studies.

Title

The title should be concise, specific, and informative, and should reflect the main finding or contribution of the study. Abbreviations should be avoided unless they are widely known.

Authors and Affiliations

The full names of all authors, their affiliations (department, institution, city, country), and email addresses must be entered in the submission metadata. The corresponding author must be clearly indicated. Author names and affiliations must not appear in the manuscript file submitted for review, so that the double-blind review can be maintained.

Abstract and Keywords

The abstract should be written in one paragraph of 150 to 250 words and should state the purpose of the study, the method, the main results, and the conclusion. It should be followed by three to five keywords that reflect the content of the article.

Introduction

The introduction should explain the background of the study, the research problem or knowledge gap, the objectives, and the contribution of the article. Relevant previous studies should be discussed briefly.

Literature Review

The literature review should present a critical synthesis of relevant and recent studies that support the research. This section may be combined with the introduction.

Method

The method section should describe the research design, participants or data sources, instruments, procedures, and analysis in sufficient detail to allow the study to be evaluated and repeated. Ethical approval should be stated where applicable.

Results and Discussion

The results should be presented clearly and in a logical order, supported by tables and figures where appropriate. The discussion should interpret the findings, compare them with previous studies, and explain their implications and limitations.

Conclusion

The conclusion should answer the research objectives and summarise the main contribution of the study. It should be written in paragraphs, not in bullet points, and should not introduce new results. Suggestions for future research may be included.

Acknowledgments

Individuals who contributed to the study but do not meet the criteria for authorship, as well as all sources of funding, should be acknowledged in this section. This section is added only after the manuscript is accepted.

References

ITEE uses the IEEE citation style. In-text citations are numbered in square brackets in order of appearance, for example [1], [2], [3]–[5]. All references cited in the text must be listed in the reference list, and vice versa. Authors are encouraged to use reference management software such as Mendeley or Zotero. References should be recent and relevant, and the DOI should be included where available.

▸  Tables and figures are numbered consecutively (Table 1, Figure 1) and cited in the text before they appear.

▸  Table titles are placed above the table, and figure captions are placed below the figure.

▸  Figures must be clear and legible, with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.

▸  Equations are numbered consecutively in parentheses at the right margin and written using an equation editor.

▸  Authors must obtain permission to reproduce any table or figure that has been published elsewhere and must cite the original source.

6. Citation Integrity and Plagiarism

Authors should cite sources that are directly relevant to their work. Excessive self-citation and citation that is not relevant to the content of the manuscript are not acceptable. Editors and reviewers of ITEE do not require authors to cite articles from ITEE or from other journals of the same publisher. All manuscripts are checked for similarity using Turnitin, as described in the Screening for Plagiarism policy.

7. Generative AI and AI-Assisted Tools

Authors who use generative AI tools in the preparation of a manuscript, beyond basic spelling and grammar checking, must state the tool and its purpose in a Declaration of Generative AI Use placed immediately before the References section. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy of all content, including any output produced by such tools. AI tools cannot be listed as authors and cannot be cited as sources. Further details are available in the Generative AI Policy.

8. Peer Review and Revision

All manuscripts are evaluated through a double-blind peer review process by at least three (3) reviewers appointed by the Editor. Manuscripts are assessed on the basis of originality, scientific contribution, methodology, relevance to the scope of the journal, and clarity of presentation. When revisions are required, the revised manuscript must be submitted together with a point-by-point response to the reviewers' comments within four (4) weeks. Further details are available on the Peer Review Process page.

9. Proofreading

The galley proof of an accepted manuscript is sent to the corresponding author in PDF format and must be checked and returned within three (3) working days. Corrections at this stage are limited to typographical errors, errors in data, and the updating of references.

10. Copyright and Licensing

Authors who publish in ITEE retain the copyright of their articles and retain full publishing rights without restriction. No transfer of copyright is required. All articles are published open access under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).
