Author Guidelines

Manuscript preparation

Engineering and Technology Horizons (ETH) is a publication that accepts two types of articles: research and academic articles.

Research article: A research article is a document with a form of research according to academic principles; for example, there is a hypothesis or a reasonably identified problem. In addition, it must clearly state objectives, systematic research, collect data for consideration, analysis, interpretation, and conclusion of research that can provide answers to certain objectives or principles that will lead to academic advancement or practical application.

Academic article:  An academic article is written in the manner of analyzing, criticizing, or proposing new ideas from an academic basis that has been compiled from the academic work of one's own or that of others, or an academic article written for general knowledge for the public.

When submitting an article, authors must write between 8 to 14 pages on an A4 paper. The first page must contain the author names, and the second page must be submitted anonymously. If an article exceeds the maximum number of pages, it may not be accepted for publication. The ETH editorial office will review the submission and decide whether or not it will be published. To be considered for publication, the original article must be approved by all the co-authors and must not be under consideration or already published in other academic journals. Along with the article, a cover letter must be submitted specifying the details below:

• Clarify whether the article aligns with the journal's scope.
• Clearly identify the importance of the research problem or topic.
• Identify any research problems or gaps in knowledge.
• Describe how your research differs from previous studies and what makes it unique.
• Explain the value of your research to either the academic or research community or to industry.

ETH follows a double-blinded review system, where at least three expert reviewers review each article. This ensures that the reviewers' comments are academically sound and their recommendations are helpful to the authors. Publishing articles in ETH is free of charge.

1. Instructions for writing

1.1 General advice

Articles must be approximately 8-14 pages long on an A4 paper, created by Microsoft Word. The font size should be similar throughout. When setting up the page, make sure to give a margin of 1 inch or 2.54 cm on all four sides. The article should consist of two parts. The first part should be formatted as a single column, while the second part should be divided into two columns. The distance between the columns should be 0.26” or 0.7 cm.

To order the topics of the story, please use numbers. The introduction should be marked as topic number 1, and if there are sub-topics, please use numbers using the decimal system to label them, for example, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and so on. It is recommended that sub-topics should not have more than two levels, for example, 1.1.1 and 1.1.2. It's important to use these numbers when referring to specific article sections. You can also include brief headings for subsections. Make sure that each heading appears on a separate line. To make it easier for reviewers and for the manuscript production process later on, it's recommended to include page numbers and line numbers. The abstract section, however, is not included in the section numbering. For more details, please download the instructions from https://ph01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/lej.

1.2 Font type

Articles should be written using Times New Roman font consistently throughout the entire document.

1.3 Abbreviations

When writing an article, define any abbreviations that are not commonly used in your field. If an abbreviation is necessary in the abstract, make sure to define it at its first mention in the abstract. It's important to maintain consistency in the use of abbreviations throughout the article.

1.4 Units

It is important to adhere to internationally recognized rules and conventions, particularly when it comes to units of measurement. The international system of units (SI) should be used, and if other units are mentioned, their equivalent in SI should be provided. For large numbers, it is necessary to represent them as groups of three digits separated by narrow spaces, but it is important to avoid using commas or any other grouping marks other than narrow spaces.

1.5 Footnotes

It is advisable to use footnotes sparingly in your article. If you decide to use them, number them in consecutive order. Some word processors have a built-in feature for footnotes, which you can utilize. However, if your word processor does not have this feature, you should indicate where the footnotes should appear in the text and present them separately at the end of your article.

1.6 Funding sources

To ensure compliance with funders' requirements, kindly list the funding sources in the standard format provided. If no funding has been provided for the research, kindly include the following sentence: "This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors".

1.7 Electronic artwork

Please ensure that your original artwork uses uniform lettering and sizing. Use preferred fonts such as Times New Roman or Symbol. Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text, and use a logical naming convention for your artwork files. Indicate whether each figure is a single, 1.5, or 2-column fitting image.

When you have finalized your electronic artwork, it's important to save or convert the images to the appropriate formats. Here are the recommended formats:

• EPS (or PDF): This format suits vector drawings. If there is text in the image, embed the font or save it as 'graphics'.
• TIFF (or JPG): For color or grayscale photographs (halftones), use a minimum of 300 ppi.
• TIFF (or JPG): For bitmapped line drawings, use a minimum of 1000 ppi.
• TIFF (or JPG): For combinations of bitmapped line and halftone (color or grayscale), a minimum of 500 ppi is required.

Please refrain from the following:

• Providing files that are optimized for screen use, such as GIF, BMP, PICT, and WPG, as their resolution is too low.
• Submitting files that have a low resolution.
• Using graphics that are disproportionately large for the content.

 

To insert figures, specify the order of the pictures, use the word "Figure 1 xxx", and put captions under the figures. Figures can be placed next to relevant text or on separate pages at the end.

1.8 Color artwork

Please ensure that artwork files are in an acceptable format (TIFF or JPEG, EPS or PDF, or MS Office files) and have the correct resolution.

1.9 Figure captions

It is important to include a caption under each illustration. The caption should include a short title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Avoid using too much text within the illustrations, but make sure to explain all symbols and abbreviations used. If the figure you're submitting has been sourced from another publication, you must provide a copyright agreement letter. Please make sure to attach this document during the submission process and also cite the source in the caption. For figures with multiple images, each image must have a sub-caption written in bold alphabetical letters in parenthesis, such as (A), (B), etc. These should be described separately in the caption, for example, "Figure 1 xxx (A) xxx (B) xxx". It's important to note that all figures must be mentioned in the manuscript before they appear.

1.10 Tables

When submitting tables, please ensure that they are in an editable text format rather than images. You can place the tables either next to the relevant text in the article or on separate pages at the end. Number the tables consecutively by their appearance in the text and place any notes below the table body. While using tables, please be sparing and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. In case of a large table that cannot fit on one page, it can be split into multiple tables with a ("cont.") caption.

1.11 Table captions

It is important to include a caption for each table with a concise title and a description. The table caption should use minimal text, but all abbreviations used in the table should be explained. Please make sure that the authors themselves create the table. If the table is not original, then the authors must obtain a copyright agreement letter from the owner in order to confirm that they have the right to use it. In the case of a non-original table, it must be cited in the table caption. All tables must be mentioned in the manuscript before they appear.

1.12 Equations

To insert an equation, include its order in parentheses, such as (1), and reference it in the text using the word Eq. (1).

1.13 Language:

Articles are published in both English and Thai. However, starting from June 1, 2024, ETH will only accept submissions in English.

2. Article structure

2.1 Title

The title should be short, concise, and clearly convey the meaning of the matter. Abbreviations and formulas should be avoided.

2.2 Author names and affiliations

Please make sure to clearly indicate the first name and last name of each author with accurate spelling. Additionally, please provide the authors' affiliation addresses where the actual work was done under their names. Use superscript Arabic numerals immediately after each author's name to indicate their affiliation. Also, provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name.

Please ensure that you clearly indicate the corresponding author (with an asterisk) who will handle all correspondence during the refereeing and publication process, as well as post-publication. This responsibility includes addressing any future inquiries about the methodology and results. Kindly provide the corresponding author's email address and ensure that the contact details are updated.

If an author has relocated since the research described in the article was conducted or was visiting at the time, then their new address can be noted as a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') as a footnote next to their name. However, the address where the research was actually conducted must be retained as the primary affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals denote these footnotes.

2.3 Abstract

A clear and concise summary of the research is required in the form of an abstract. It is important to briefly state the objective of the research, the methodology, the main results, and the major conclusions, consisting of 1 paragraph, approximately not more than 300 words. The abstract must be presented separately from the main article, and hence, it should be self-sufficient. Therefore, it is compulsory to avoid references. Similarly, it is advised to avoid using uncommon abbreviations, but if used, they must be defined at first mention in the abstract.

2.4 Keywords

Please include 3–5 keywords separated by commas at the end of the abstract, with the first letter of each keyword capitalized.

2.5 Main text body

The main text should be clear and free of spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. There are no specific requirements for text organization; it can vary based on research needs. However, the following structures are suggested.

• Introduction: Provide a brief background leading to the study and state the work objectives, avoiding an extensive literature review or result summary.
• Materials and Methods: When documenting a research work, it is important to provide enough information to enable an independent researcher to replicate the study. If the methods used have been published before, they should be briefly summarized and referenced. If you need to quote directly from a previously published method, ensure you use quotation marks and cite the source. When existing methods are modified, it is necessary to describe the modifications made.
• Results/findings: The results/findings should be presented clearly, and the significance of the work should be explored.
• Discussion: The discussion may be written together with the experimental results. It evaluates various aspects of interpretation and analysis of the results, whether they meet the objectives or not. Additionally, it explores how the results may be consistent or conflict with the work of others and suggests citing relevant principles or theories to support or refute them logically. It may also have suggestions that will put the research results to good use.
• Conclusions: The study's main conclusions should be presented separately from the discussion and provide a concluding remark for the article.

2.6 Acknowledgements

Please note that acknowledgments should be collated in a separate section at the end of the article before the references. Do not include them on the title page or as a footnote to the title. In this section, you should list those who provided assistance during the research process, such as those who helped with experiments, data collection, language, writing, proofreading, or any other relevant contributions.

2.7 References

The references in the article should be cited in the IEEE format and numbered in parentheses, such as [1], [2-5].

2.8 Appendices

If your article includes multiple appendices, it is important to clearly identify them using letters such as A, B, and so on. Additionally, any formulae or equations included in the appendices should be numbered separately using the format Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), and so on. If you have more than one appendix, the numbering should continue in subsequent appendices using the same format, such as Eq. (B.1), and so on. The same approach should be used for tables and figures, which should be labeled as Table A.1, Figure A.1, and so on. This will help ensure that your document is organized and easy to navigate for your readers.

3. References

The IEEE style should be used for citing references in the article, with a DOI for every reference (where possible).

3.1 Citation in text

It is important to ensure that any reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list and vice versa. All references cited in the abstract should be given in full. Including unpublished results or personal communications in the reference list is not recommended, but they may be mentioned in the text. If such references are included in the reference list, they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should indicate "Unpublished results" or "Personal communication" instead of the publication date. If a reference is cited as "in the press," it means that the item has been accepted for publication.

When referencing in your text, please keep in mind the following conventions:

• For single-author sources as the subject of a sentence, use the author's name (without initials unless necessary) and number in parentheses, such as Young [1].
• For sources with two authors as the subject of a sentence, use both authors' names and number in parentheses, such as Kino and Shaw [2].
• For sources with three or more authors as the subject of a sentence, use the first author's name followed by 'et al.' and the number in parentheses, such as Kopyt et al. [3].
• Citations can be made directly at the end of a sentence in parentheses. If you have a single reference, use the number in parentheses, such as [1], or if you have multiple references, use the numbers in parentheses, such as [2, 4, 6-8].

Manuscript submission

New manuscript

Authors who wish to submit their manuscripts to Engineering and Technology Horizons (ETH) must do so online by visiting https://ph01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/lej/about/submissions. To submit their work, authors must first register on the website. It's important to note that authors should only register once. The submitting author, usually the corresponding author, is responsible for the manuscript throughout the submission, peer-review, and production processes. Authors should prepare the original document in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx) and save it as a PDF file.

Please note that the article should not exceed 14 pages (2 columns). The author must submit one copy of the manuscript, with the first page containing the author's name and address and another first page that does not include the author's name. The total number of pages should be less than 15 pages. Kindly ensure that you specify your full name, complete address, contact phone number, and email address clearly in the article submission form.

Revised manuscript

Upon receiving revision requests, the corresponding author will be contacted via email and asked to submit a revised version. The revision process is similar to the initial submission.

Accepted manuscript

After acceptance, the corresponding author will be notified and asked to submit the final manuscript, which must be free of grammatical, spelling, or typographical errors.

Editorial decision

At least three experts in the field must evaluate articles using a double-blind review system. The editorial team may request the author to improve the articles if necessary. This ensures that the feedback from the reviewers is of academic value and that their suggestions aid the authors. The editorial team reserves the right to decide whether to publish or not. When the article has been edited (if any) appropriately, the author must submit one copy of the manuscript, sent as a .pdf and .doc or .docx file.

Publication fee

It is important to note that publishing articles in the ETH journal does not require any payment. It is completely free of charge. The School of Engineering at KMITL covers the full cost of publication without any expense to the authors.
