Author Guideline
Carefully read the submission guidelines as follows:
A. General Requirements
The minimum standard requirements of International Journal of Mechanical Computational and Manufacturing Research must be:
- Written in English
- The length of submitted paper is at least 3 pages and no more than 12 pages. Editors will be evaluated if the papers are needing more pages than 12 pages.
- Use tools like EndNote, Mendeley, or Zotero for reference management and formatting, and choose APA style.
- Make sure that your paper is prepared using the International Journal of Mechanical Computational and Manufacturing Research paper template when if it accepted.
B. Structure of The Manuscript
The manuscript must be prepared and suggested present follow the structure:
- The title of the manuscript. Paper’s title should be the fewest possible words that accurately describe the content of the paper (Center, Bold, 16pt).
- How to Write the Name, and the Author’s Affiliation, The author's name must be written without an academic degree. If the author's name consists of at least two words, the last name should not be abbreviated (to avoid misquoting). If there is more than one author, the author's name is written separately with a comma (,). If the author's name is only one word, it should be written as is.

Then right under the author's name is written the author's affiliation consisting of Department, University, city, country. Affiliates are written in 8pt-size.
- A well-prepared abstract enables the reader to identify the basic content of a document quickly and accurately, to determine its relevance to their interests, and thus to decide whether to read the document in its entirety. The Abstract should be informative and completely self-explanatory, provide a clear statement of the problem, the proposed approach or solution, and point out major findings and conclusions. The Abstract should be 100 to 200 words in length. The abstract should be written in the past tense. Standard nomenclature should be used and abbreviations should be avoided. No literature should be cited. The keyword list provides the opportunity to add keywords, used by the indexing and abstracting services, in addition to those already present in the title. Judicious use of keywords may increase the ease with which interested parties can locate our article.
- Section structure. Authors are suggested to present their articles in the section structure:Introduction – The Proposed Method/Algorithm - Method - Results and Discussion –
- Introduction The introduction must contain a general background (shortly), a literature review (state of the art) in order to record the existing method/solutions, to show which is the best of previous researches and to show the main limitation of the previous researches. It has be contain with at least 5 literature in order to justify novelty this paper. The introduction should be clearly contain the gap analysis (why this research needs to be done? What is the uniqueness of this paper compared to previous papers?) as the basic of the new research question, statements of the new scientific article and main research problems (novelty). Example of novelty statement or the gap analysis statement in the end of Introduction section (after state of the art of previous research survey): “........ (short summary of background)....... A few researchers focused on ....... There have been limited studies concerned on ........ Therefore, this research intends to ................. The objectives of this research are .........”.
- Methods/Algorithm The method is applied to solve problems including procedures, measuring and analytical methods. Methods should make the reader able to reproduce your experiment. Provide enough detail to allow the work to be reproduced. The published method should be indicated by reference: only relevant modifications should be explained. Do not repeat details of existing methods, just refer it from the literature.
- Results and Discussion This part consists of the research results and how they are discussed. The results obtained from the research have to be supported by sufficient data. The research results and the discovery must be the answers or the research hypothesis stated previously in the introduction part. The discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. Make the discussion corresponding to the results, but do not reiterate the results.
The following components should be covered in discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what/how)? Do you provide interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences? - Conclusion This is the final part containing conclusions and advices. The conclusions will be the answers of the hypothesis, the research purposes and the research discoveries. The conclusions should not contain only the repetition of the results and discussions. It should be the summary of the research results as the author expects in the research purposes or the hypothesis. The advices contain suggestions associated with further ideas from the research
- References. The main references are international journals and proceedings. All references should be to the most pertinent, up-to-date sources and the minimum of references are 15. References are written in APA style. Please use a consistent format for references.
