Author(s) should use these specific styles for each part (for example title, abstract, keyword etc.) of the manuscript. The detailed information about these styles can be found in the template file.

There is not any page limit in SAUCIS.  As a guideline: experimental manuscripts should not be longer than 25 double-spaced typed pages and 7 figures + tables; for theoretical manuscripts a maximum of 30 pages and 10 figures + tables is suggested.

The language of the journal is English. Any other languages are not accepted for publication.

Abstract section should not exceed to 400 words and contain a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 English keywords.

Keywords should start with a bold “Keywords” title and should not exceed 5 keywords. Each keyword should be separated with comma symbol.

The citations should be given in IEEE Style. Authors can get help from citation management applications/tools when preparing their papers. The title of the citations section should be “References”.

In text citations should be written in square brackets like [1], [3-5] etc.

Equations should be aligned centered. Equation number should be written inside parenthesis and placed to the right side of the equation, aligned right in the page. Equations should be cited with their full name like “As seen in Equation 1” or like “As seen in Equations 3 and 4”.

Tables should be centered in the page. Table number and caption should be written above the table. Tables should be cited with their full name like “As seen in Table 1” or like “As seen in Tables 3 and 4”.

Figures should be centered in the page. Figure number and caption should be written below the figure. They should be cited with their full name like “As seen in Figure 1” or like “As seen in Figures 3 and 4”.
