Abstract: (JARTE Abstract Header)

This template contains guidelines for preparation of papers to be submitted to Journal of Applied Research in Technology & Engineering (JARTE). Author should adhere to these guidelines to ensure uniform style and layout; the light blue colour is used to highlight text styles from JARTE_Template.dotx template. It is recommended that manuscripts submitted to JARTE count at least 5000 words, including references. All submissions must have a title of maximum 130 characters and an abstract using no more than 300 words. Next, up to six keywords can be included. The rest is explained below. Reproduction of the paper is made in A4 paper size (margins: top 2.5 cm, bottom 2 cm, left 2 cm, right 2 cm, header and footer: 1.25 cm from edge). (JARTE Abstract)

Keywords: (JARTE Keywords Header) injection molding; tribology; composites; power flow; cotton; osmosis (JARTE Keywords)

Cite as: (JARTE Cite as Header) Surname, N., …., Surname, N. (20XX). Title. J Appl Res Technol Eng, Volume (Issue), start page-end page. DOI (JARTE Cite as)

General information (JARTE Header 1)

(JARTE Normal) Papers published in JARTE should have the following structure:

(JARTE Bullets) Title of the paper.

Author names –ORCID identifier (ID) for at least one author– and affiliations. These will be written down once the paper is accepted for publication. For peer review, it will be left blank.

Abstract (up to 200 words) and keywords (up to six).

Main text (e.g. introduction, body sections, discussion, conclusions).

Acknowledgements (if any, in blank for reviewing).

References.

Header, abstract and references sections should be typed in one single column, whereas the main text is typed in double column. The font type Arial is to be used. Text (JARTE Normal: Arial font, size 9, full aligned text, spacing after 6 pt, line spacing single, two columns).

Font sizes and layout are already defined in this template, so that authors do not have to change the font size, page size or any other layout elements. There is no maximum length of the paper, although it is rare to exceed 20 pages formatted using this template document and guide; all artwork and references included. The authors are encouraged to present long papers (seven or more pages).

Articles should be written in English. Papers accepted for publication will be assigned a DOI for indexing and querying purposes.

Title, authors, highlights, abstract and keywords (JARTE Header 1)

(JARTE Normal) The Title of a technical paper (main language) should be concise and indicate clearly the subject matter (JARTE Title: Arial font, bold, size 14, centred aligned text, spacing before 12 pt and after 6 pt, capital letters).

Once the paper is accepted for publication, the title should be followed in another line by authors’ names (name and surname, JARTE Authors: Arial font, size 11, centred aligned text, spacing before 6 pt and after 6 pt). Next line will contain the place of work (affiliation, city and country) and e-mail address (JARTE Affiliation: Arial font, size 8, centred aligned text, spacing before 6 pt and after 3 pt) with hyperlinks to this e-mail (JARTE Hyperlink: dark blue, without underlining).

Abstract (JARTE Abstract Header: Arial font, bold, size 9, left-aligned text, spacing before 12 pt) followed by bold colon “:”. Next line, abstract (JARTE Abstract: Arial font, size 9, full aligned text, spacing before 6 pt) in English (a concise outline of the content of the paper using no more than 300 words). Next line, “Keywords:” (JARTE Keywords Header: Arial font, bold, size 9, full aligned text, spacing before 6 pt and after 6 pt) with up to six keywords (JARTE Keywords: Arial font, size 9, full aligned text, spacing before 6 pt and after 6 pt).

Main body and text (JARTE Header 1)

Section headings should be concise and numbered sequentially, using a decimal system for both sections (JARTE Header 1: Arial font, bold, size 11, left-aligned text, spacing before 12 pt and after 6 pt, hanging indentation 0.5 cm, numbered) and subsections (JARTE Header 2, JARTE Header 3 and JARTE Header 4) headings. For bulleted lists in text use JARTE Bullets (Arial font, size 9, full aligned text, spacing after 3 pt, bullets, left indent 0.2 cm, hanging indentation 0.4 cm).

Footnotes can be used sparingly to include additional information. Footnotes should be consecutively numbered throughout the article and will have a differentiated text size.

Whenever you include a foreign language word, please apply italics, e.g. Thymus.

Illustrations and tables (JARTE Header 1)

Authors can include illustrations related to the accompanying text. It is the responsibility of authors to insert figures, graphics and images in the right place. Figure captions should be located beneath the corresponding illustration, centered with respect to column width. Both JARTE Figure Caption Label (Arial font, bold, size 8, centred) and JARTE Figure Caption (Arial font, size 8, centred) will be simultaneously used for the figure captions, as presented in Figure 1.

To identify different images in figures such as Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b, JARTE Figure Sub-caption will be used for the line of text (a), (b)… just below the images.

Figures (diagrams, images, maps, sketches) and tables will be adapted to the printing width: 80 mm one-column; 170 mm two-columns. The authors are free to add new sections with one-column for imagery and tables (and corresponding captions); afterwards, the double column will follow. The content of the illustrations should be large enough to guarantee proper visualisation and understanding. Colour imagery is highly recommended.

Illustrations (JARTE Header 2)

Figures (JARTE Header 3)

Good quality images are requested for publication. Try to avoid low-resolution figures and tables embedded within the document. It is not allowed to overlay Word objects such as text and drawings on any image. Please insert the composed figures (with objects) as images in TIFF, PNG or JPG.

How to reference (JARTE Header 4)

Figures can be referenced in two ways. When figures are placed as a complement to the paragraph, but they are not connected to the text, they should be referenced in brackets as (Fig. 1). If references are part of the text, either the complete form (Figure) or the contracted form (Fig.) can be used.

Cross-references should not be linked to figures; only plain text.

Tables (JARTE Header 2)

In order to improve readability and interpretation of papers, authors are encouraged to add significant data sets in the form of tables. Table layout must follow the design of Table 1. Referencing of tables is similar to that of figures, they can be referenced as part of the text as in Table 1, or in brackets if they complement text but are not part of the wording (Table 1). Both JARTE Table Caption Label (Arial font, bold, size 8, centred) and JARTE Table Caption (Arial font, size 8, centred) will be simultaneously used for the table captions, as presented in Table 1. Cross-references should not be used to reference the tables, only plain text.

Table captions must be fully informative. Please realise that for the first row of the table, the JARTE Table First Row (Arial font, size 8, centred, italics) will be used (Table 1); for the cell values, JARTE Table Data (Arial font, size 8, centred). Hide all gridlines except both the first bottom row and the left and right central column.

(JARTE Table First Row) Setting	Value (mm)	Value (inch)
Left	25	0.98
Right	25	0.98
Top	30	1.18
Bottom	30	1.18

Equations and units (JARTE Header 1)

Normal mathematical conventions should be followed for equations. This implies Times New Roman italics for symbols representing scalars and points (JARTE Scalar: Times New Roman font, size 9, italics, e.g. x y z X Y Z), lowercase normal symbols for vectors (v) (JARTE Vector: Times New Roman font, size 9, lower case), uppercase normal symbols for matrices (ATA, confirm the convention for transpose, with superscript T) (JARTE Matrix: Times New Roman font, size 9, capital letters), and normal type for units (m, mm…) and all numerals including subscripts and superscripts (12, x3, α12) (not italic) with JARTE Subscript (Times New Roman font, size 9, subscript, normal) and JARTE Superscript (Times New Roman font, size 9, superscript, normal), respectively. All symbols should be defined when first used, and the use of the same symbol for different parameters within the same paper should be avoided. Equations must be numbered sequentially and referenced in the text.

Equations should be typed (left aligned, hanging indentation 0.75 cm, spacing before 6 pt) with the equation editor available in the text processing software, and the equation number on the right-hand side (between brackets), as in Eq. (1):

(1)

where

c = focal length

x, y = image coordinates

X0, Y0, Z0 = object coordinates

X, Y, Z = object coordinates

All units must be reported in the SI Units (International System of Units).

The symbol for the decimal marker shall be the point (e.g. 9.95 m, 123.43 m2, 20.7 ºC).

For coordinates, parentheses will be used as well as a comma to separate numbers, for instance,
(0.997, 0.004), (700345.76, 4567253.56, 10.76). For dimensions, the ‘x’ will be used, e.g. 3.1 x 4.8 x 6.6 m.

Citations and references (JARTE Header 1)

All in-text references must be cited in the text, with hyperlinks to the corresponding item in the References section (JARTE hyperlink). Citations must follow the author-date style for referencing according to American Psychological Association (APA), 6th Edition. The use of a reference management software in your word processor (that supports citation styles such as RefWorks, Mendeley and Endnote) is highly recommended to format automatically your citations and references in the journal’s APA6th style referencing.

The style for references (book, articles, theses and so on) can be checked at the end of this template. If the digital identifier (DOI) exists, it must be included for each reference. In the reference section authors can find examples on how to reference the following documents:

(JARTE Bullets) Books (Kalpakjian & Schmid, 2014).

Chapter from an edited book (Otsuki, 2020).

Journal Article (Guerra, Cano, Rabionet, Puig, & Ciurana, 2018; Pasang et al., 2019).
