Guide for Authors

Authors are required to first visit the journal's website: www.cte@ihu.ac, register, and after receiving their username and password, proceed to upload the article file. The submitted article must not have been previously published in any domestic or international journal, and it should not be submitted to another journal while under review by this journal. To expedite the review process, authors should suggest the names of 5 qualified reviewers to the journal office. Providing the email addresses of all authors during the article upload is mandatory. The article must be prepared in accordance with the journal's format regarding type, font, font size, figure placement, etc., in Persian language, using Word 2010 software, with a maximum of 15 pages in a two-column format, each column being 2.8 cm wide, and margins of 2 cm on all sides. The font name and size for the first page and the article text are provided in the table below. The first page of the article should include the title, authors' names, abstract, and keywords in both Persian and Latin sections. The main text of the article should include the sections: Introduction, Research Methodology (or Experimental Section), Results and Discussion, and References. The reference number used should be indicated in order and next to the relevant text in Persian numerals within brackets (e.g., [2]). Mathematical equations and mechanisms should be numbered in the order they are mentioned in the text, using numbers in parentheses. The titles of tables should be numbered and placed above them, while the names of figures should be numbered and placed below them, aligned to the right. When referring to equations, figures, and tables in the text, the corresponding number should be placed in parentheses before the end of the sentence, such as "Figure (5)"; if referring to a figure or table at the end of the text, the entire phrase and number should be placed in parentheses, such as (Figure 5).

The reference format must comply with the journal's guidelines regarding font, order of authors' names, title and address of the article, as well as punctuation and commas. The title of the article should be formatted in Title Case. Journal names should be abbreviated according to ISI standards (by searching in ISI Journal Title Abbreviation). When mentioning researchers in the literature review and introduction, avoid providing the year and footnote after the author's name; the reference number should be placed immediately after the author's name. Using phrases like "in [?]" or "in reference [?]" within the text is incorrect; references should be cited at the end of the sentence. All references must be written in English. Avoid using the phrase "et al." and list all authors' names. The spacing between each reference and the next should be 6 pt. The formatting of different references according to the journal's guidelines should be as follows:
