|
| MANUSCRIPT FOOTER |
|
The footer text should include Journal Name, Volume(X) : Issue(X) : year of publication. Font face should be Helvetica with 9 font size left aligned.
Example:
International Journal of Engineering (IJE), Volume (3) : Issue (3) : (2011) |
|
| MANUSCRIPT TITLE |
|
| The first letter of each work should be capital. The manuscript title should be bold and center aligned. Font face should be Helvetica with 14 font size. |

|
| ABSTRACT |
|
| Abstract should be written in Helvetica font 10 in size, bold and center aligned. Alignment of the abstract content should be justified. Use two grey lines before and after the abstract heading and content. |
|

|
| The manuscript should be submitted with at least 3 keywords that best describe its area. Keywords should be written in Helvetica font size 10. |
| Example: |
Abstract |
These instructions are for authors of submitting the research papers to the International Journal of Computer Science and Security (IJCSS). IJCSS is seeking research papers, technical reports, dissertation, letter etc for these interdisciplinary areas. The goal of the IJCSS is to publish the most recent results in the development of information technology.
Keywords: Keyword1, Keyword2, Keyword3, Keyword4, Keyword5. |
|
| STRUCTURE OF THE ARTICLE |
|
| Manuscripts should be written in clear, concise and grammatically correct language. The entire manuscript, including references, should be typed single spaced on one side of the paper in Helvetica font. All pages should be numbered consecutively. |
|
| PARAGRAPHS |
|
| Leave one line space between two paragraphs. |
|
| MANUSCRIPT HEADINGS |
|
| Manuscript heading is divided into two main sub heading. |
|
| MAIN HEADING |
|
| Main heading should be in capital with Helvetica font size 12 & bold. All heading should be numbered. |
|
| SUBHEADINGS |
|
| The first character of each word should be capital with Helvetica font size 10. All sub headings should be numbered according to their main heading. |
| Example: |
1.
INTRODUCTION
1.1.Sub Heading
1
1.2.Sub Heading2
2. PRELIMINARIES
2.1.Sub Heading1
2.2.Sub Heading2
|
| TABLES & FIGURES |
| Tables & Figures should be numbered consecutively with numeric numbers. Each table/figure must have a title. The labeling of figures and data in tables should be with Helvetica font size 9. |
| RefFErences |
| References should be indicated in the text by consecutive numbers in square brackets, as [1], [2] etc. At end of manuscript references should be mentioned in the order in which they appear in the article. CSC Journals follow IEEE Citation Reference Style
The citation style has 3 main features: |
|
| • The author name is initial of first name and last. For example Indrakshi Ray should be written as I. Ray |
|
| • The title of an article (or chapter, conference paper, patent etc.) is in quotation marks. |
|
| • The title of the journal or book is in italics. |
|
| These conventions allow the reader to distinguish between types of reference at a glance. The correct placement of periods, commas and colons and of date and page numbers depends on the type of reference cited. Check the examples below. Follow the details exactly. Eg.: put periods after author and book title, cite page numbers as pp., abbreviate all months to the first three letters (eg. Jun.).
Check the distinctions between print and electronic sources (especially for journals) carefully. |
