We do not accept reviews. The article can be in Spanish or English, we do not accept articles in Portuguese.
The research areas are developed in the following topics:
- Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation
- Renewable energy
- Environmental technology and earth science research
- New materials, biomaterials and sensors.
- Other topics in engineering and technology
Global guidelines for the preparation of the manuscript
It is expected that your manuscript will synthesize in a pertinent and rigorous way the scientific results that you wish to present.
General considerations:
-The research manuscripts submitted to TECNIA must mainly contain:
1. Cover: List of authors, Affiliations, Email, Contact number, ORCID.
2. Sections of the manuscript
-Introduction:
The introduction should briefly present the study carried out and highlight its importance, it should also mention the purpose of the work and its importance, thus including the hypotheses that will be demonstrated in the investigation. Mention the main objective of the research, and it is recommended that it be readable and understandable for editors, reviewers and readers.
-Background:
This section mentions the work carried out prior to the study, or the research on which the author(s) relies, always complying with the citation criteria and respecting copyright.
-Methodology:
Existing methods and instruments applied to the study are exposed, as well as an explanation of how the samples have been collected, prepared and applied. In this section it is also recommended to explain the measurements and calculations applied to the data.
-Analysis of results:
A precise description of what is the experimental results, the interpretation and conclusions that can be verified is mentioned.
-Conclusions:
In this section of the manuscript, a discussion is added that reflects that the research objectives have been met and/or gives rise to the study having new discussion methods.
-References:
The style of references that TECNIA uses has been created for publications based on the field of engineering IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).
We suggest using reference managers like Mendeley or Zotero to manage your references and get the format of them quickly.
