Review Paper: specify databases/sources, search strategy, inclusion/exclusion, number of studies, appraisal/synthesis/statistics. 

4.3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Original Article: present results & discussion together; avoid repetition; compare with prior work; ensure analysis answers research questions. 

Review Paper: main body (≈70–90% of article) organized by coherent sub-sections (methods/theories/agree-vs-disagree/chronology/geography). Link study findings to review questions and build comparative insight. 

4.4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Keep clear and concise; avoid flowery expressions. 

4.5 CONCLUSION

Brief, narrative (non-bulleted), conceptual; include research impact/implications. 

4.6 REFERENCES — IEEE Style

Use IEEE (numeric); order by first appearance (not alphabetic). Cite as [1], [2]–[4]. Target ≥80% journal literature. Avoid unpublished sources.

5) Tables, Figures, Units, and Equations

Table & Figure Requirements (follow strictly)
Aspect Rule
Captions Table caption above; Figure caption below. Refer specifically as “Table 1”, “Figure 1”. 
Design Use only top/bottom lines for table head and a closing rule at end of data; no unit repetition; keep tables on one page. 
Quality Figures must be high-resolution, clear, meaningful; avoid embedded titles inside graphics. 
Narrative Provide narrative linking tables/figures to text; do not duplicate data between tables and graphs. 
Units Use SI (MKS) or CGS (prefer SI); do not mix systems; do not mix abbreviations with full units (e.g., “Wb/m²” or “webers per square meter”). 
Equations Typeset in Book Antiqua/Symbol; italicize variables; bold vectors; number right-aligned (1), (2), … 
Abbreviations Common (IEEE, SI, etc.) needn’t expansion; define uncommon acronyms at first use; avoid acronyms in titles unless essential. 

6) Double-Blind Review & Files

  • Two files: (a) Title Page (author info, affiliations, ORCID, corresponding email, CRediT, funding, acknowledgements); (b) Main Manuscript (fully anonymized). :contentReference[oaicite:37]{index=37}
