International Journal of Renewable Energy Development (IJRED)

Double-Blind Reviewing

The review process for ICIST 2022 will be double-blind, i.e. reviewers will not know the authors’ identity (and vice versa). Authors should ensure their anonymity in the submitted papers. In brief:

Authors’ names and affiliations should not be included in the submitted paper; this includes acknowledgments, appreciation, etc., if any.
A reviewer may be able to deduce the authors’ identities by using external resources, such as technical reports published on the web. The availability of information on the web that may allow reviewers to infer the authors’ identities does not constitute a breach of the double-blind submission policy.

STANDARD PAPERS. Original articles (at least 6000 words) inclusive of all parts of the paper. Typescripts should be arranged as follows, with each section starting on a separate page.

Title Page

- - A concise and informative title.
  - A list of author names, affiliation(s), and e-mail addresses.
  - The name, complete mailing address (including e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers) of the corresponding author.

Abstract. A concise and factual abstract (150-250 words) is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.

Keywords. A list in alphabetical order not exceeding ten words or short phrases, excluding words used in the title and chosen carefully to reflect the precise content of the paper.

Introduction. State the reason for the work, the context, background, aims and the hypotheses being tested. End the Introduction with a brief statement of what has been achieved.

Materials and methods. Include sufficient details for the work to be repeated. Where specific equipment and materials are named, the manufacturer’s details (name, city and country) should be given so that readers can trace specifications by contacting the manufacturer. Where commercially available software has been used, details of the supplier should be given in brackets or the reference given in full in the reference list.

Results and Discussion. State the results of experimental or modelling work, drawing attention to important details in tables and figures and discuss them intensively by citing other references.

Conclusion. Give the main findings and conclude the result and discussion

Acknowledgements. Be brief. If authors refer to themselves as recipients of assistance or funding, they should do so by their initials separated by points (e.g. J.B.T.). Do not acknowledge Editors by name.

References (see Manuscript Specifications below).

Tables. Each table should be inserted in body-text and numbered as well as accompanied by a legend at the top. These should be referred to in the text as Table 1, etc. Avoid duplication between figures and tables.

Figures. Figures and their legends should be inserted in body text manuscript. Figures should be referred to in the text as Fig. 1, Figs 1 & 2, etc. Photographic material should also be referred to as Figures. The figures must be in high resolution and no blur.

CITATIONS AND REFERENCES. Citation to work by four or more authors should be abbreviated with the use of et al. (e.g. Manel et al. 1999). Citation to work by one, two or three authors should always give the author names in full. Work with the same first author and date should be coded by letters, e.g. Thompson et al. (1991a, b). Citations should be listed in chronological order in the text and be separated by a semi-colon, e.g. Balmford & Gaston (1999); Royle et al. (2007). The references in the Reference list should be in alphabetical order with the journal name unabbreviated. The format for papers, theses, entire books and chapters in books is as follows:

REVIEWS ARTICLE. Reviews should at least 10000 words inclusive of all parts of the paper. The layout should follow the same format and specifications as for Standard Papers except that the organisation of the main text need not follow the division into Introduction, Materials and methods, Results and Discussion.
An author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference and present the paper at the conference physically or online. The conference fee will cover publication and conference costs (Registration link).
IJRED will publish the accepted and presented papers of ICIST 2022 in a regular publication.
