Submissions
Author Guidelines
Authors must submit manuscripts in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx) using the official MIRAE manuscript template. Manuscripts should be prepared in clear academic English and must follow the structure and formatting requirements provided in the template.
Manuscript Structure
The manuscript should generally include the following sections: Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Declarations, and References. Depending on the article type, authors may adjust the section structure where appropriate, provided that the manuscript remains clear, coherent, and scientifically complete.
Abstract
The abstract should provide a concise and accurate summary of the study. It should briefly present the background, objective, methods, main findings, and conclusion or implications of the work. The abstract should not contain citations, tables, figures, abbreviations that are not defined, or information that is not discussed in the main text.
Keywords
Authors should provide 3–5 keywords that represent the main topic, method, object, material, process, or application of the study. Keywords should be separated by semicolons.
Introduction
The Introduction should clearly explain the research background, problem statement, research gap, and aim of the study. It should include a relevant and up-to-date literature review to position the study within the existing body of knowledge. The Introduction should demonstrate the novelty, significance, and contribution of the study to applied engineering or related multidisciplinary fields.
Methods
The Methods section should describe the research design, materials, instruments, equipment, experimental procedures, analytical methods, and data processing techniques in sufficient detail. The description should allow readers to understand, evaluate, and, where possible, reproduce the study. Standard methods, testing standards, software, instruments, and data analysis procedures should be cited where appropriate.
Mathematical equations should be prepared using an editable equation format, such as Microsoft Equation Editor or MathType, and should not be inserted as images. Equations must be numbered consecutively and cited in the text, for example, Equation (1).
Results and Discussion
The Results and Discussion section should present the findings clearly, logically, and accurately. Authors may combine Results and Discussion into one section or present them as separate sections, depending on the nature of the study.
This section should not merely describe the results. Authors are expected to interpret the findings, explain their meaning and significance, compare them with previous studies, and discuss any similarities, differences, or unexpected results. The discussion should also address the scientific, technical, practical, industrial, or methodological implications of the study.
Subsections may be used to improve clarity, especially for manuscripts with multiple experiments, datasets, design stages, simulations, or validation procedures.
Figures
Figures include graphs, diagrams, photographs, maps, illustrations, flowcharts, schematics, and other visual materials. All figures must be cited in the text and numbered consecutively according to their order of appearance, for example, Figure 1, Figure 2, and so on.
Figures should be clear, readable, and prepared at publication quality. Authors should submit high-resolution figures, preferably at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi for photographs or image-based figures. Line drawings, graphs, diagrams, and other text-based figures should be prepared in a high-quality vector or editable format whenever possible, such as EPS, PDF, SVG, or the original graphing software format.
Text, symbols, axis labels, legends, and scale bars in figures must remain readable after resizing. Authors should use consistent font style and font size across all figures. Unnecessary white space should be removed. Figures should not be stretched, distorted, excessively compressed, or manipulated in a way that misrepresents the data.
Figure captions should be placed below the figure. Each caption should provide a brief and specific description of the figure and explain all abbreviations, symbols, scale bars, statistical indicators, or other relevant visual elements. If a figure has been adapted or reproduced from another source, the source must be cited and written permission must be obtained where required.
Graphs are categorized as Figures and should not be presented as Tables. Where applicable, graphs should include clearly labelled axes, units of measurement, legends, and error bars. Error bars and statistical indicators must be explained in the caption or text.
Tables
Tables should be used to present data concisely and should not duplicate information already described in the text or shown in figures. All tables must be cited in the text and numbered consecutively according to their order of appearance, for example, Table 1, Table 2, and so on.
Tables must be submitted as editable text, not as images. Authors should create tables using the table function in Microsoft Word or another editable format. Screenshots, scanned tables, or image-based tables are not acceptable.
Table captions should be placed above the table. Each table should have clear column headings, units of measurement where applicable, and concise footnotes when needed. Authors should avoid excessive formatting, vertical lines, complex shading, or unnecessary decorative elements. The table layout should be simple, readable, and suitable for copyediting and typesetting.
Conclusion
The Conclusion should be written concisely and should directly answer the aim of the study. It should summarize the main findings without repeating the results in detail or introducing new data, arguments, citations, tables, or figures. Authors may briefly state the scientific or practical implications of the findings. When relevant, the Conclusion may also include a short statement on the limitations of the study and recommendations for future research.
Declarations of Competing Interest
The following declaration statements should be included after the Conclusion and before the References.
Authorship Contribution
Authors are required to describe their individual contributions using the CRediT – Contributor Role Taxonomy. The contribution statement should clearly identify the role of each author in the study, such as Conceptualization, Methodology, Software, Validation, Formal analysis, Investigation, Resources, Data curation, Writing—original draft, Writing—review and editing, Visualization, Supervision, Project administration, and Funding acquisition.
One author may have more than one role, and the same role may be assigned to more than one author. All authors must have reviewed and approved the final version of the manuscript and agreed to be accountable for all aspects of the work.
