Section structure. Authors are suggested to present their articles in the section structure:

- Introduction

- Method
A brief description of the methods/techniques used (the principles of these methods should not be described if readers can be directed to easily accessible references or standard texts).
- Results and Discussion
A clear presentation of experimental results obtained, highlighting any trends or points of interest. The results should not be repeated in both tables and figures. The discussion should relate to the significance of the observations.
- Conclusion
A brief explanation of the significance and implications of the work reported.
- Acknowledgments
Any individuals who contributed to the manuscript but do not meet the necessary criteria for authorship should be acknowledged. Acknowledgments should be limited to those who helped extensively, such as providing statistical help, essential equipment, or translating references.

- Author contributions

- Conflicts of interest

IJSRST requests that authors and persons who are included in the evaluation process of submitted articles be notified of current or potential conflicts of interest, including financial, consultant and institutional, which may lead to potential bias or conflict of interest. Any material grants or other support received for a study sent from individuals or institutions should be reported to the Editorial / Editorial Board. The potential conflict of interest of editors, authors or reviewers is resolved by the journal's Editorial / Editorial Board. In such cases, authors should contact the Editorial / Editorial Board directly regarding their complaints. If necessary, a mediator can be appointed to solve problems that cannot be solved internally. The Editor-in-Chief is the ultimate authority in the decision-making process for all objections and complaints.

Figures, Schemes and Tables

Authors are encouraged to prepare figures, schemes and tables in color. Figure and tables must be numbered (Fig 1, Table 1, etc.) and an explanatory title must be added. All table columns should have an explanatory heading. Please supply legends for all figures, schemes and tables. The legends should be prepared as a separate paragraph of the main text and placed in the main text before a table, or after a figure or a scheme.

Requirements for submitting Electronic Image Files

Reference Preparation

Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Organization and citation of the bibliography are made in IEEE style in sign [1], [2] and so on.

The heading of the References section must not be numbered. All reference items must be in 12 pt font. Please use Regular and Italic styles to distinguish different fields as shown in the References section.Number the reference items consecutively in square brackets (e.g. [1]).

When referring to a reference item, please simply use the reference number, as in [2]. Do not use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” except at the beginning of a sentence, e.g. “Reference [3] shows …”. Multiple references are each numbered with separate brackets (e.g. [2], [3], [4]–[6]).

3. Review/Referees

Scientific contributions will be double blind peer-reviewed on the criteria of originality and quality. To aid in the peer review, authors can provide the names, addresses and e-mail addresses of up to 3 potential referees, although the editor will not necessarily contact them.

4. Revised Manuscripts

In revised manuscripts, the areas containing the major required changes should be marked and the script color changed. Upon acceptance of the manuscript, the final uploaded version will be taken as the basis for subsequent production process, and papers may be subjected to editorial changes. Responsibility for the factual accuracy of a paper rests entirely with the author.

When submitting a revised/revised version of an article, the author should specify on the article file how each question/suggestion brought by the referees is handled and where it can be found. The revised articles should be restored to the system within 20 days from the end of the referee evaluation process. If the revised version of the study is not delivered within the specified period, the article can be rejected by canceling the revision option. If the sending author(s) believes additional time is required, they must request this extension before the first 20 days. The last copy of the accepted works is sent to the responsible author before printing. Publication confirmation is requested within 3 days after the receipt of these documents.

When you upload the revised manuscript, please upload a response sheet separately.

5. Proofs and Reprints
