International Journal of ENGINEERING EDUCATION
Submission Guidelines
Manuscripts are to be submitted to the Editor, Dr. Ahmad Ibrahim by e-mail at: ijee.editor@gmail.com
Manuscripts should be submitted in English as Microsoft Word documents (.docx). Authors submitting a revised manuscript need to outline separately the response to the reviewers’ comments and the changes introduced to the manuscript. Manuscripts containing mathematical equations or special symbols should also be submitted in PDF format. Manuscripts will be reviewed; all accepted revised manuscripts should be submitted in accordance with the style of the Journal (a short guide is available online and at the end of the print issues). They will be copy-edited and typeset. The proofs in PDF format will be sent to the authors before publication.
Manuscripts intended for a special issue are to be submitted directly to the guest-editor(s) as indicated in the specific Call-for Papers. The accepted, revised manuscripts will be forwarded to the Editor for further processing.
Copyright
By submitting a manuscript the authors declare that the manuscript was not published before, that it is not being considered for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted for publication in the IJEE, will not be published anywhere else. If accepted for publication in the IJEE, the authors agree to transfer the copyright to the Journal and to honour the page charges.
Page Charge
Authors of accepted manuscripts are asked to pay a page charge; the total charge is calculated based on the number of pages of the proofs. Details are provided on the web page of the IJEE.
Review Criteria
Only manuscripts that have a focus on engineering education will be considered for publication. Manuscripts that appear to be within the scope of the Journal will be peer-reviewed. Reviewers are asked to consider several aspects of the manuscript, including:
Content:clarity of objective, technical correctness, scope covered, conclusions drawn as supported by the data presented, proper literature survey, impact on teaching and learning, and contribution to engineering education.
Originality: presence of new ideas or innovative contribution.
Structure: logical layout, proper use and adequate number of figures, diagrams, and tables.
Quality of text: being concise, correct grammar and spelling, clarity of expression, consistency, readability, and citation of appropriate references.
The International Journal of ENGINEERING EDUCATION
2022 Guide for Authors
All accepted revised manuscripts are copyedited and typeset. For efficient preparation of the proofs it is important that the authors follow some simple style guidelines (as listed below) rather than excessively format the manuscript. Details of the formatting will be taken care of by the copyeditors.
No copyrighted material is to be included.
Manuscripts are to be prepared in English and submitted as an MSWord document (.doc). If the manuscript contains mathematical equations or special symbols they should additionally be submitted in PDF format.
Both UK and American English are acceptable, but the manuscript needs to be consistent throughout in the usage.
All manuscripts should have: title, abstract, keywords, introduction, presentation, discussion, conclusions, references, and short biographies of the authors.
Decimal fractions within the text and in the figures should have a leading zero (0.1, 0.2, etc., not .1, .2).
Layout: single column throughout (this will help typesetting in the appropriate format).
Font: Times Roman (10 point).
Title: bold; lower case with caps on all main words.
Authors: Times Roman caps; followed by affiliation (complete address including e-mail) on a separate line. If affiliation differs between authors, start a new line for each (group of) author(s). No tel. or fax or mobile numbers.
Abstract: succinct; no references; no paragraphs; no bullets.
Keywords: Include keywords such as:
keyword1; keyword2; keyword3;
keyword4
Sections: all sections are to be numbered, starting with the introduction, in the style:
1., 1.1, 1.2, . . . 2., 2.1, . . . and so on.
The references and the biography sections are not to be numbered.
Figures: all figures should be in greyscale (not in colour), and included within the manuscript, with no reference to colour within the text of the manuscript.
All figures should have meaningful captions and be numbered, e.g. Fig. 1. No pictures of people are to be included.
Tables: all tables should be supplied in MSWord format (not as pictures) and included within the manuscript. All tables should have meaningful captions, and be numbered, e.g. Table 1.
All figures and tables should be listed at the end of the manuscript.
Equations: all equations are to be numbered sequentially with the numbers in round brackets, referred to in text as: Equation (1); use initial cap in mid-sentence.
Equations should be supplied within the text as produced by the equation editor of MSWord (not as a picture). Symbols used should appear within the text in the same format as in the equation. All symbols used should be defined.
References: within the text of the manuscript should be cited as numbers within square brackets and appear in sequential order and follow the style:
[1]; [1–3]; [1, 3–7]; [4, p. 301]. They are to be listed at the end in sequential order in the style:
