The articles will be reviewed by the Editorial Committee to assess the relevance of the text for the journal's theme and issue a decision on whether or not to begin the peer review process. The average time to receive this communication is 120 days after fulfilling all the submission requirements established in the checklist.
Global guidelines for the preparation of the manuscript
Your manuscript is expected to summarize in a pertinent and rigorous manner the scientific results you wish to present.
General considerations:
-Research manuscripts submitted to TECNIA must mainly contain:
1. Cover page: List of authors, Affiliations, Email, Contact number, ORCID.
2. Sections of the manuscript
-Introduction:
The introduction should briefly explain the study carried out and highlight its importance, and should also mention the purpose of the work and its importance, including the hypotheses that will be demonstrated in the research. Mention the main objective of the research, and it is recommended that it be legible and understandable for editors, reviewers and readers.
-Background:
This section mentions the previous work carried out for the study, or the research that the author(s) rely on, always complying with the citation criteria and respecting copyright.
-Methodology:
The existing methods and instruments applied to the study are presented, as well as the explanation of how the samples were collected, prepared and applied. In this section it is also recommended to explain the measurements and calculations applied to the data.
-Results Analysis:
A precise description of the experimental results, the interpretation and conclusions that can be verified is mentioned.
-Conclusions:
In this section of the manuscript, a discussion is added that reflects that the objectives of the research have been met and/or gives rise to the study having new discussion methods.
-References:
The style of references that TECNIA uses has been created for publications based on the field of IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) engineering.
We suggest the use of reference managers such as Mendeley or Zotero to manage your references and obtain their format quickly. It is mandatory to include the URI, DOI, HANDLE, LINK, or any identifier of the original source to be verified on the web.
