4. Abstract and Keywords
The abstract should provide a concise overview of the research objectives, methodology, major findings, and conclusions. Authors should provide 4–6 relevant keywords that accurately represent the main concepts, methods, technologies, and applications discussed in the manuscript.
5. Figures and Tables
Figures, diagrams, graphs, equations, and tables should be clear, appropriately numbered, and referred to within the manuscript. Each figure and table should include an appropriate title or caption. Authors must ensure that any material reproduced or adapted from other sources has the necessary permission and proper acknowledgement.
6. References
All sources cited in the manuscript should be included in the reference list. References must be accurate, complete, and consistently formatted according to the journal's required referencing style. Authors should ensure that all in-text citations correspond correctly to the entries in the reference list.
7. Ethical Requirements
Authors must comply with the journal's policies concerning research ethics, plagiarism, authorship, conflicts of interest, data availability, and responsible publication practices. Where applicable, manuscripts should include the required ethical approval, consent, or other relevant declarations.
8. Submission
Manuscripts should be submitted through the journal's designated online submission system. Authors should ensure that the manuscript is complete, properly formatted, and compliant with the journal's editorial, technical, and ethical requirements before submission.
9. Peer Review
All submitted manuscripts are subject to editorial screening and peer review. Publication decisions are based on the manuscript's originality, technical and scientific quality, relevance to the scope of the journal, clarity of presentation, methodological soundness, and potential contribution to the fields of mechanics and control systems.
10. Author Responsibility
Authors are responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of the information presented in their manuscripts. All authors should review and approve the final version of the manuscript before submission and agree to its publication.
Authors are encouraged to carefully follow these guidelines to facilitate an efficient editorial evaluation and peer-review process.
