Guidelines for authors

Preparing manuscript

Authors are highly recommended to use the journal Templates and follow the guidelines within the template to prepare the manuscript. Here are brief guidelines:

  • The manuscript should be prepared in editable files, such as Microsoft Word, written in English (preferred) or Vietnamese. The title, authors' names, affiliations, abstract, keywords, and references must be written in Roman script.
  • Abstract should be a single paragraph, contain 100 to 200 words, and citation-free. The abstract should state the purpose of the study, how the study was conducted, the main findings, major conclusions, and potential impact.
  • 3 to 5 keywords that are strongly related to the topic of the article should be provided.
  • Figures and tables have captions and are numbered consecutively. Figures and tables are included in the manuscript in appropriate positions. The figures should be prepared as images with no resolution below 600 dpi.
  • All measures should be reported in SI units.
  • References that are cited in the article must be listed in the References section and vice versa. HPU2 Journal of Science: Natural Sciences and Technology uses the IEEE reference style (The Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers citation style). Authors are highly recommended to use reference management software (such as Mendeley, Endnote, and so forth) to manage the references. Authors could use the IEEE Citation Generator when writing the References section.
  • Acknowledgements (if necessary) should be as brief as possible, in a separate section before the References.
  • In the revised manuscript the authors should highlight the modified parts.
