Guidelines to Prepare Camera-Ready Full Paper & Short Communication
General
Unpublished papers and extended versions of papers presented at conferences may be submitted for possible publication. The University will reserve the copyright of the accepted papers. Responsibility for the contents of a paper rests upon the authors and not upon the editors or the publisher.
Submission Details
Submitted papers must report new results substantiated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis, but must not be currently under review for any other publication. All contributions should be sent electronically both in .doc and .pdf format as email attachments directly to diujst @daffodilvarsity.edu.bd . Please include the corresponding author's e–mail address, phone, and fax numbers (if any) in the email.
Formatting Requirements
Please be sure your paper is formatted properly for submission. In particular, please note the following format requirements:
• Your submission must be both in DOC and PDF format .
• Your submission must
be correctly formatted to fit on A4 size
paper. Please be sure
you have a margin of 1.2 inch on left and
right and 1 inch on top and bottom edges of
each page.
• Camera-ready papers must not exceed 1 0 pages including text, figures, references, and
appendices using d ouble
column with single spacing and 0.25 inch gaps
between two
columns. Generally use Times New Roman font
everywhere.
• The font size in the main body of the paper must be 11 point .
• The content is the most important part of your paper. Your paper must have a Title
(Write in all Small Caps letters in title case with 18 point); complete names (in 12 point)
and affiliation(s)
(in 11 point) including e–mail addresses (in
10 point) of all authors; an
Abstract (not exceeding 200 words) and five to
ten Keywords in 10 point italics; an
Introduction (Explain the nature of the
problem, previous work, purpose, and the
contribution of the paper.); a Conclusion
(Indicate clearly the advantages, limitations
and
possible applications); Acknowledgement
(Optional, but only to appear in the accepted
papers) ; Nomenclature (Optional); a Reference
section in 9 point; Appendices in 10
point (Optional); and finally brief
Biographies in 10 point (Optional) for all
authors. Small
passport–size Photographs of the authors may
also be included.
• All headings and subheadings should be
flush left and set in bold face (NOT
underlined),
including Abstract" and "Keywords", and in
upper and lower case letters.
• Number each section of the paper
beginning with the introduction (i.e., 1.
Introduction)
and ending with the conclusion (i.e., 7.
Conclusion). For subheadings , the numbers
used
should be 1.1, 1.2, etc and font size is 11
point bold. If a subsection is further
divided,
the numbers 1.1.1, 1.1.2, etc. are
to be used and the number and associated title
are to
be set 11 point in italics instead of
boldfaced.
• The first paragraph following a heading or subheading should be flush left and all
paragraphs that follow should be indented 0.25 inch. Be sure that your text is fully
justified. Please do not place any additional blank lines between paragraphs. However,
any necessary spacing (e.g. spacing between Title and Author's name(s),
between
consecutive Sections, etc.) should be a single
blank line of 10–point Times.
• Avoid placing ‘Figures' and ‘Tables' in the middle of columns. Large Figures and Tables
may span across both columns. Figure and Table captions should be 10-point Times
New Roman font. Initially capitalize only the first word of each Figure caption and Table
title. Each Figure must have a glossy finish. Figures and Tables must be numbered
separately. For example: “Figure 1. Database contexts”, “Table 1. Input data”. Figure
captions are to be flushed left below the figures. Table titles are to be centered above
the tables.
• Equations should be numbered (1), (2),
etc. When referring to an equation in the body
of the text, only the number enclosed in round
brackets should be used. A colon should
be inserted before an equation, but there
should be no punctuation following the
equation.
• Use footnotes sparingly (or not at
all) and place them at the bottom of the
column on the
page on which they are referenced. Use Times
8-point type, single-spaced.
• British/Canadian spelling should be
adopted. Acronyms should be spelled out at
first
mention, but not thereafter unless there will
be any good reason to do so.
• List and number all references in 9 point Times, single-spaced, at the end of your paper.
When referenced in the text, enclose the citation number(s)
in square brackets, for
example [1, 5]. Only those references actually
cited in the paper should be listed.
References should be numbered according to
when they are first mentioned in the paper.
All authors of a paper must be listed in the
references. We do not support the use of et
al. in the reference list.
• References are to be presented in the following style:

Short communication should not be more than 4 pages. It should include title, authors' name(s), affiliation(s) and e-mail address(es), keywords, figures (if any), tables (if any), acknowledgement (if any) and references, but must not contain abstract, introduction, any other sub-sections, discussions, conclusions etc, and should also maintain all other formatting requirements of full papers for short communication.
Review Policy
The objective is to provide detailed, constructive feedback on submitted papers and to publish high quality papers within a very short period of time. However, the length of the review process to be completed varies among papers, as many factors affect the time it takes to review a paper. The time it takes to locate qualified referees who are available to review a paper depends on the complexity and the type of material submitted for review. This journal makes a rigorous effort to keep the review time to a minimum that is consistent with keeping reputation for its quality and integrity. Each submission placed into review is sent to at least two independent reviewers, making one submission correspond to roughly two review requests. Based on this information, a first reply may take approximately three months. After review, you may be requested to submit a revision. Please assist us in achieving our ambitious goals for short publication time by submitting the camera-ready paper at the earliest.
