Author Guidelines

paper Preparation:

Submitting your manuscript will be based on the ICOP 2020 template (MS-Word). Maximum number of pages is 5.

Units of Measurement:

Units of measurement should be presented simply and concisely using System International (SI) units.

Abstract:

The manuscript should contain an abstract. The abstract should be self-contained and citation-free and should not exceed 200 words.

Introduction:

This section should be succinct, with no subheadings.

Materials and Methods:

This part should contain sufficient detail so that all procedures can be repeated. It can be divided into subsections if several methods are described.

Results and Discussion:

This section may each be divided by subheadings or may be combined.

Conclusions:

This should clearly explain the main conclusions of the work highlighting its importance and relevance.

Acknowledgements:

All acknowledgments (if any) should be included at the very end of the paper before the references and may include supporting grants, presentations, and so forth.

References:

ICOP 2020 follows IEEE citation and Referencing style.

Author Biography:

Authors now have the option to publish a biography together with the paper, with information such as MD/PhD degree, past and present positions, research interests, awards, etc. This increases the profile of the authors and is well received by international readers.

Preparation of Figures:

Upon submission of an article, authors are supposed to include all figures and tables in the file of the manuscript. Figures should be supplied as a bitmap format (TIF, GIF, JPEG, etc.). Bitmap images should be of 300 dpi resolution at least unless the resolution is intentionally set to a lower level for scientific reasons. If a bitmap image has labels, the image and labels should be embedded in separate layers.

Preparation of Tables:

Tables should be cited consecutively in the text. Every table must have a descriptive title and if numerical measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading. Vertical rules should not be used.

Equations:

Equations should be numbered consecutively.

English Grammar:

To save the time of our reviewers, authors are encouraged to use grammar check software or find the help of a native speaker to proofread the manuscript before submission.

Original Contribution:

The originality of the scientific contribution should be clearly stated in the manuscript.

Plagiarism:

We use plagiarism detection.; According to Oxford online dictionary, Plagiarism means the practice of taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own. For more information about plagiarism, type of plagiarism and what constitutes plagiarism, kindly see the Koya University Referencing System. The Editorial Board of ICOP2020 will check any case of plagiarism on its own merits. If the plagiarism is detected, either by the editor or peer reviewer at any stage before publication of the manuscript - before or after  acceptance, during editing or at page proof stage, we will alert the author(s), asking him/her to either rewrite the text or quote the text exactly and to cite the original text. If at least 15% of the original submission is plagiarised, ICPAS has the right to reject the manuscript.
