Research paper and articles on Big Data, Machine Learning, IOT, Blockchain, Network Security, Optical Integrated Circuits, Artificial Intelligence are in prime position.
The Types of papers: The types of papers that may be considered for inclusion are:
1) Original research;
2) Short communications and;
3) Review papers, which include meta-analysis and systematic review

Authors: Authors’ full names should be provided without professional ranks and titles. Corresponding author(s) should be identified with an asterisk. Authors’ affiliation should include “Department/Faculty, University/Institute, City, Country” or “Company, City, Country”.
Abstract: The abstract should be no more than 200 words and should not contain citations or unexplained abbreviations/acronyms. The general scope of the article, the main results and conclusions should be summarized.
Keywords: The keywords should be concise and distinctive, and there should be no more than 5 words in each keyword except for the proper nouns.
Introduction: The introduction should include the background, objectives and an overview or a map of the whole paper.
Methods: The Methods section appears in most online original research articles and should contain all elements necessary for the interpretation and replication of the results.
Tables: Each table should be given a caption above it and numbered successively, such as Table 1, Table 2, Table 3... Further details can be included as notes to the table.
Figures: Suitably high resolution figures may be inserted within the text at appropriate positions. Each figure should be given a caption below it and numbered successively, such as Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3...
Main body: The main body should include the main results, discussions and conclusion.

The in-text citations should be numbered in the corresponding position of the main body in the normal text form of [] (such as [1], [2], [3] ...) instead of other forms (such as “(John Smith, 2019) or (2019)”). For example:
True: “... and both groups are active in identifying and using neural networks and decision trees [1].”
False: “... and both groups are active in identifying and using neural networks and decision trees (John Smith, 2019).”
When there are two or more references cited in the same sentence or paragraph, all the reference numbers should be enclosed in one bracket, such as [2, 3], [6-8] and [4, 9-12].
