Writing Rules
Academic impartiality and scientific quality are important criteria in the evaluation of articles submitted for publication. Therefore, the recommendations of the ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors) and the International Standards for Editors and Authors of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) should be taken into account in scientific articles submitted to the SAUCIS journal.
Manuscripts to be published must be sent via the “Submit Article” page.

Preparation of Manuscript
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.
Author(s) should provide English versions of the title, abstract and keywords.
Abstract section of the manuscript should be between 100 and 350 words.
Paragraphs should not start with indentation.
The full name(s) of the author(s) should be given. In addition the e-mail address(es), affiliation(s), and ORCID's of all author’s should be provided. The telephone number of the corresponding author should be written.
Keywords should start with a bold “Keywords” title and should not exceed six 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”.
The following examples are taken from the guideline “IEEE Reference Guide” by IEEE Periodicals Transactions/Journals Department 445 Hoes Lane Piscataway, NJ 08854 USA. The detailed guide is given in here
