Author Guidelines
Article Types
Submissions to AVITEC are categorized to clarify their scientific contribution and to ensure consistent editorial and peerreview standards. All manuscripts must provide sufficient methodological clarity, data support, and documentation to ensure reproducibility where applicable.
The journal accepts the following article types:
1. Original Research Article
Purpose:
To present significant and original findings from experimental, analytical, computational, or theoretical research.
Requirements:
- Demonstrate novelty and scientific contribution.
- Methods and analytical procedures must be described in sufficient detail for reproducibility.
- Statistical analysis (where applicable) must be clearly stated.
- Relevant and recent literature must be properly cited.
Suggested Structure:
Abstract
Keywords
1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
3. Results
4. Discussion
5. Conclusions
Length Guidance: Typically 5000–8000 words (excluding references).
2. Review Article
Purpose:
To provide a comprehensive, structured, and critical synthesis of existing literature, identify research gaps, and propose future research directions.
Requirements:
- Should be analytical and critical, not merely descriptive.
- Should include recent and highquality peerreviewed references.
- Must not contain unpublished experimental data.
- Review methodology (e.g., narrative, systematic, or scoping approach) should be clearly described when applicable.
Suggested Structure:
Abstract
Keywords
1. Introduction
2. Review Methodology (if applicable)
3. Thematic or Conceptual Sections
4. Critical Analysis and Discussion
5. Research Gaps and Future Directions
6. Conclusions
Length Guidance: Typically 6000–9000 words (excluding references).
3. Brief Report
Purpose:
To present concise but scientifically rigorous studies, including preliminary results, pilot studies, technical validations, short empirical investigations, or focused methodological contributions.
Requirements:
- Provide clear methodology and reproducible procedures.
- Experimental parameters, tools, datasets, and analysis methods must be clearly specified.
- Should present focused and meaningful findings despite a limited scope.
Suggested Structure:

Manuscript Preparation
Before submission, authors must ensure that the manuscript complies with the following requirements. Specific structural elements should follow the selected article type (Original Research Article, Review Article, or Brief Report).
1. Language
Manuscripts must be written in clear, concise, and grammatically correct English.
2. Length
There is no strict word limit; however, manuscripts must remain focused and proportionate to their article type:
- Original Research Article: typically 5000–8000 words
- Review Article: typically 6000–9000 words
- Brief Report: up to approximately 6000 words
3. Format
Authors must use the official AVITEC template. Submissions not formatted according to the template may be returned before peer review.
4. Title
- Maximum 20 words
- Clearly state the main research problem
- Avoid uncommon abbreviations or acronyms
5. Abstract and Keywords
- Single paragraph, maximum 250 words
- Must briefly cover: background, methodology (if applicable), main findings, and novelty
- Include 3–7 keywords
- Arrange keywords by relevance (from general to specific)
6. Introduction
The Introduction must:
- Provide sufficient background and context
- Summarize relevant literature (primarily from the last 10 years)
- Cite at least 15 peer-reviewed journal articles (≥80% international sources)
- Clearly identify research gaps
- State the novelty and objectives of the study
7. Main Body (According to Article Type)
A. Original Research Article
Methods:
Describe materials, instruments (including model and manufacturer), datasets, and procedures in sufficient detail to allow replication. Novel protocols must be clearly explained and supported by references.
Results and Discussion:
Present findings clearly using tables and figures where appropriate. Interpret the results critically, compare them with previous studies, and highlight how the research addresses the identified gaps.
Conclusion:
Provide a concise summary that links findings to objectives and the literature. Emphasize novelty, contribution, and potential future work. Citations should not be included in the Conclusion.
B. Review Article
Thematic Sections:
Organize the review into structured, topic-based sections that synthesize and critically analyze the literature.
Discussion:
Compare different perspectives, identify limitations in existing studies, and highlight unresolved challenges.
Conclusion and Future Directions:
Summarize key insights, emphasize research gaps, and propose directions for future investigation.
C. Brief Report
Methods:
Provide sufficient methodological detail to ensure reproducibility, even if the study scope is limited.
Results and Discussion:
Present focused findings and interpret their technical or practical implications. Discuss limitations where relevant.
Conclusion:
Briefly highlight the main findings and their scientific or practical significance.
8. References
- Minimum 15 references
- At least 80% from recent international peer-reviewed journals
- All references should include a DOI where available
- NonEnglish references (maximum 25%) must include English translation in brackets
- Use IEEE citation style consistently
- Website references should be limited to authoritative sources only
9. Figures and Tables
- Number sequentially and cite in the text
- Follow formatting in the AVITEC template
- Avoid text boxes for captions
- Prefer vector graphics for diagrams
- Raster image resolution:
- More than 500 dpi (photographs)
- More than 1000 dpi (line art)
- Use a readable font size (8–10 pt minimum)
- Ensure color schemes are accessible for colorblind readers
10. Equations
- Equations must be written in an editable format and numbered consecutively.
Submission and Review Process
Manuscripts must be submitted online through the AVITEC submission system. All submissions undergo an initial editorial screening for scope, structure, and guideline compliance. Suitable manuscripts are sent for blind peer review, and revisions may be requested. Editors make the final decision, and accepted papers proceed to copyediting and production.
See the complete Publication Workflow for details.
