Introduction

The introduction section of your manuscript should start from page 2 onwards and must provide a clear, concise, and compelling foundation for your research, setting the context, significance, and objectives of the study. It should orient readers to the research problem, summarize relevant prior work, and articulate the study’s purpose and novelty. These guidelines outline the structure, content, and formatting requirements for the introduction section submitted to Engineering Dynamics and Applied Sciences.

Introduce the research problem or question, explaining its importance in the field of engineering, dynamics, or applied sciences. Provide sufficient background to make the study accessible to a broad academic audience, including readers outside the specific subfield. Clearly state the objectives or hypotheses of the research. Highlight the novelty or contribution of the work (e.g., addressing a gap, improving existing methods, or proposing new applications).

The introduction should typically be approximately 500–1000 words, depending on the complexity of the study and requirements. Avoid excessive background or overly detailed literature reviews; focus on essential context. Briefly describe the field or problem area, including key concepts or technologies relevant to the study. Summarize prior work, citing key studies to establish the research gap or motivation in IEEE style like [1], [3]-[7]. Use IEEE-style citations (see Referencing Guidelines below). Identify limitations or unresolved issues in existing work that your study addresses. Clearly state the study’s aims, scope, and specific contributions. Use formal, academic English in the third person, avoiding personal pronouns (e.g., “I” or “we”). Ensure clarity and precision, using technical terms appropriately but defining specialized jargon for accessibility. Avoid speculative claims or unsupported statements.

Briefly outline the manuscript’s structure (e.g., “Section 2 discusses the methodology, followed by results in Section 3”).

Section-2 Heading

Authors must use the predefined styles in the provided this Word template to ensure consistency in formatting. For main section headings, such as "2 Methodology" or "3 Results," apply the "Heading 1" style from the Word Styles pane. This style uses Times New Roman font, 11-point size, bold text and blue colour. Also, include a line above and below the heading text. Main section headings should be numbered sequentially, for example, "2" or "3” etc.

Sub-section 2 Heading1

For sub-section headings, such as "2.1 Data Collection" or "2.2 Analysis," use the "Heading 2" style from the Word Styles pane. This style is formatted in Times New Roman, 11-point size, blue colour with regular (non-bold) text. Include a line above the heading text only, with no line below. Sub-section headings should follow a hierarchical numbering format, such as "2.1" or "2.2".

Sub-section to 2.1 Heading1

For sub-sub-section headings, such as "2.1.1 Sampling Method" or "2.1.2 Variables," apply the "Heading 3" style from the Word Styles pane. This style uses Times New Roman, 11-point size, regular (non-bold) text, regular (black) colour and includes a line above the heading text only, with no line below. Sub-sub-section headings should use hierarchical numbering, such as "2.1.1" or "2.1.2".

Sub-section to 2.1 Heading2

To maintain uniformity, authors should ensure that heading numbers follow the hierarchical structure (e.g., Section 2, Sub-Section 2.1, Sub-Sub-Section 2.1.1) and avoid modifying the predefined styles in the template. Apply styles directly from the Word Styles pane to prevent formatting errors. If additional heading levels are required, authors should contact the editorial team for further guidance.

Bullets

Authors must use the predefined bullet style from the Word bullet library to ensure consistent formatting of bulleted lists in the manuscript. For all bulleted lists, use a solid round bullet, (●) from the Word bullet library. The bullet formatting includes Times New Roman font, 11-point size, and regular (non-bold) text. Each bullet point should be concise, begin with a capital letter unless it continues an introductory sentence, and maintain clarity for readability. If you are using bullets in the manuscript:

One

Two

Three

Guidelines for Formatting Figures, Tables and Equations

Authors must adhere to the following guidelines for formatting Figures, Tables, Equations, and Referencing (IEEE style) in the journal’s Word template to ensure consistency and clarity in the manuscript.

Figures

For Figures, it is recommended to insert images using the "Insert Picture" function in Word, ensuring they are high-resolution (at least 600 DPI) and in PNG or JPEG format for photographic Images and PNG, EMF, SVG, WMF for Line Art / Graphs / Charts / Diagrams. Centre the figure on the page with no text wrapping. Below each figure, include a caption using the "Figure Caption" style from the Word Styles pane, formatted in Times New Roman, 11-point size, regular text, and centered. Captions should be concise, descriptive, and numbered sequentially (e.g., "Fig. 1: This is a sample single image "). Reference figures in the text as "Fig. 1" and ensure they appear close to their first mention. Do not include borders or shading unless necessary for clarity. After acceptance, authors may be asked to submit separate figure files for typesetting and publication. Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b is the example of using multiple images. To achieve proper alignment, authors can place each sub-figures inside a borderless table.

This is a sample single image

(a)	(b)

This is a sample multiple image (a) Description (b) Description

Tables

For Tables, create tables using Word’s table tool, avoiding images or embedded objects. Tables should be centered, with a maximum width fitting within the page margins. Use the "Table Caption" style from the Word Styles pane to caption the table, formatted in Times New Roman, 11-point size, regular text, and centered other than the first column which will be left aligned (e.g., "Table 1: Sample table of results"). Number tables sequentially and reference them in the text as "Table 1". Ensure tables are clear, with concise headings and no excessive merging of cells. Table 1 shows the sample table.

This is a sample table

Parameter	Group-A	Group-B	Group-C
Variable-1	Values	Values	Values
Variable-2	Values	Values	Values
Variable-3	Values	Values	Values
Variable-4	Values	Values	Values
Variable-5	Values	Values	Values

Equations

Equations should be inserted using Word’s built-in Equation Editor (Insert → Equation) and must be centered on the line. Equation numbers should be right-aligned in parentheses and placed on the same line as the equation. To achieve proper alignment, authors are required to place each equation inside a 1-row, 2-column borderless table:

The left cell (approximately 85–90% width) should contain the centered equation.

The right cell (approximately 10–15% width) should contain the equation number, right-aligned and enclosed in parentheses (e.g., (1)).

Variables should be italicized, and equations must be clear and legible. Use default Cambria Math, 11 pt font. Reference equations in the text as "Eq. (1)". For example, an equation might appear as:

(1)

Ensure equations are numbered sequentially throughout the manuscript.

Word Length

Authors must adhere to the following guidelines for manuscript length to ensure concise, focused, and high-quality submissions that align with the journal’s publication standards. For full-length research articles, the ideal manuscript length is 6,000 words in the journal’s template. This limit includes all text (Abstract, main body, Acknowledgments, references, captions etc). This length accommodates comprehensive research studies while ensuring readability and efficient peer review. For review papers, the ideal manuscript length is 10,000 words in the journal’s template. This limit includes all text (Abstract, main body, Acknowledgments, references, captions etc). This length supports the comprehensive synthesis and critical analysis required for review papers while maintaining concision.

Conclusion

The Conclusion should summarize the study’s key findings, restate the research objectives, and highlight the significance of the results in the context of the field. Authors should clearly articulate how the study addresses the research question or problem, emphasizing novel contributions. The section should also suggest potential applications or implications of the findings and may identify specific directions for future research, such as unresolved questions or next steps. Avoid introducing new data or results not discussed in earlier sections.

Acknowledgments (optional)

The Acknowledgments section should recognize individuals, organizations, or resources that contributed to the research but do not qualify for authorship. This may include technical assistance, access to facilities etc. Place the Acknowledgments section after the Conclusion, using the "Declarations" style (Times New Roman, 11-point, bold, with blue colour and a line space above only and not below). Keep the section concise, typically 50–150 words, and avoid overly personal or lengthy acknowledgments.

Funding

The Funding section must disclose all sources of financial support for the research, including grants, fellowships, or institutional funding. Place this section immediately after the Acknowledgments, or after Conclusion (if no acknowledgements present) using the same "Declarations" style. List funding agencies, grant numbers, and principal investigators (if applicable), following IEEE style for clarity (e.g., “This work was supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant 1234567”). If no external funding was received, state: “This research received no external funding.” Ensure accuracy and specificity to meet transparency requirements.

Data Availability Statement

The Data Availability Statement must clarify the availability of data supporting the manuscript’s findings, promoting transparency and reproducibility. Place this section after the Funding section, using the "Declarations" style. Authors should state whether data are publicly available (e.g., “Data are available in the XYZ Repository at [DOI or URL]”), available upon request (e.g., “Data are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request”), or not available due to restrictions (e.g., “Data are not publicly available due to privacy constraints”). If no data were generated, state: “No new data were generated in this study.” Provide specific repository names and DOIs/URLs where applicable.

Conflict of Interest

The Conflict of Interest section must disclose any financial or non-financial conflicts that could influence the research or its interpretation. Place this section after the Data Availability Statement, using the " Declarations" style. Declare any relevant conflicts, such as financial interests, affiliations, or personal relationships (e.g., “J. Doe is a consultant for XYZ Corp, which partially funded this study”). If no conflicts exist, state: “The authors declare no conflict of interest.” Transparency is critical to maintain the journal’s integrity.

Author Contributions

Authors must include an Author Contributions section in their manuscript to transparently document the specific contributions of each author to the research or review, ensuring accountability and adherence to authorship standards. Common contributions include conceptualization, methodology, data collection, analysis, writing (original draft or review/editing), visualization, supervision, funding acquisition, or project administration. For example: “J.K.S. conceptualized the study and wrote the original draft; A.B.C. performed data analysis and created figures; D.E.F. secured funding and supervised the project.”

References

For Referencing, use the IEEE citation style. In-text citations should be numbered sequentially in square brackets, e.g., [1], [2], [3]-[5]. List references at the end of the manuscript in the order they appear in the text. The content of the reference list should use the Times New Roman font at 10-point, regular text and justified alignment. Follow IEEE format including the DOI where available for different source types, e.g., for a journal article [1], book [2], conference [3] and website [4] as:
