Abstract:
These instructions give you guidelines for preparing papers for IEHE The Quest. Use this document as a template if you are using Microsoft Word 6.0 or later. Otherwise, use this document as an instruction set. The electronic file of your paper will be formatted further at IEHE. Paper titles should be written in uppercase and lowercase letters, not all uppercase. Full names of authors are preferred in the author field, but are not mandatory. Put a space between authors’ initials. The abstract must be a concise yet comprehensive reflection of what is in your article. In particular, the abstract must be self-contained, without abbreviations, footnotes, or references. It should be a small-scale version of the full article. The abstract must be between 200-300 words. Be sure that you adhere to these limits; otherwise, you will need to edit your abstract accordingly. The abstract must be written as one paragraph, and should not contain diagram, illustrations, displayed mathematical equations or tabular material. The abstract should include six to eight different keywords or phrases. Ensure that your abstract reads well and is grammatically correct.
Keywords - Give key words or phrases in alphabetical order, separated by commas.
Introduction:
Authors are advised to make use of this template or else type their manuscript in Times New Roman (11 fonts). Reference may be cited in [square brackets]. Do not change the font sizes or line spacing to squeeze more text into a limited number of pages. Maintain 10 point space between the paragraphs. Use italics for emphasis; do not underline.
Organize your text:
A research paper can be organized into several parts.
Title (and Names of the author with affiliations and addresses)
1. Introduction
2. Literature review
3. Research methodology
4. Data analysis
5. Results
6. Discussion
7. Conclusion
8. Reference page.
You can organize your research papers as per your subject requirement.
Adhere to the standards:
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm3,” not “cc.” Indicate sample dimensions as “0.1 cm × 0.2 cm,” not “0.1 × 0.2 cm2.” Use “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” When expressing a range of values, write “7 to 9” or “7-9,” not “7~9.”
A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even after they have already been defined in the abstract. Abbreviations that incorporate periods should not have spaces: write “C.N.R.S.,” not “C. N. R. S.”
Avoid Common Errors:
The word “data” is plural, not singular. The subscript for the permeability of vacuum µ0 is zero, not a lowercase letter “o.” The term for residual magnetization is “remanence”; the adjective is “remanent”; do not write “remnance” or “remnant.” Use the word “micrometer” instead of “micron.” A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The word “alternatively” is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you really mean something that alternates). Use the word “whereas” instead of “while” (unless you are referring to simultaneous events). Do not use the word “essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Do not use the word “issue” as a euphemism for “problem.” When compositions are not specified, separate chemical symbols by en-dashes; for example, “NiMn” indicates the intermetallic compound Ni0.5Mn0.5 whereas “Ni–Mn” indicates an alloy of some composition NixMn1-x.
Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect” (usually a verb) and “effect” (usually a noun), “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” (e.g., “principal investigator”) and “principle” (e.g., “principle of measurement”). Do not confuse “imply” and “infer.”
Prefixes such as “non,” “sub,” “micro,” “multi,” and “ultra” are not independent words; they should be joined to the words they modify, usually without a hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” (it is also italicized). The abbreviation “i.e.,” means “that is,” and the abbreviation “e.g.,” means “for example” (these abbreviations are not italicized).
Reference:
Use Times New Roman 10 fonts for references. The Harvard system is a parenthetical system and the bracketed references in the body of your essay are: the author’s surname and the date of publication. The list of works at the end of the essay is headed ‘References’. The works listed in it appear in alphabetical order by the author’s surname followed by his initials, date of publication, title of the source and more. A Harvard reference list must:
Be organised alphabetically by author, unless there is no author then it is ordered by the source title, excluding articles such as a, an or the;
If there are multiple works by the same author these are ordered by date, if the works are in the same year they are ordered alphabetically by the title and are allocated a letter (a,b,c etc) after the date.
