Author Guidelines

Proper attribution of authorship is critical for maintaining academic integrity. SICET requires all submitting authors to adhere strictly to our authorship guidelines.

• Maximum Authors: A single submission may have a maximum of three (3) authors.
• First Author: Author 1 is mandatory and is considered the primary contact and main contributor to the research.
• Co-Authors: Author 2 and Author 3 are optional.

For every author included in the submission, the following information must be provided accurately:

• Full Name: Ensure correct spelling as it will appear on the final certificate and publication.
• Department: The specific academic or corporate department the author belongs to.
• Institution: The full, official name of the university or organization (no abbreviations).
• Email Address: A valid email address for official communication.

To ensure fairness and accountability:

• Author Order: The order of authors must be agreed upon by all parties before submission. The submitted order will appear in the final published paper.
• Consent: All listed authors must have consented to be included and must approve the final version of the submission.
• No Guest Authorship: Individuals who did not significantly contribute to the research should not be listed as authors.
• No False Affiliations: Claiming affiliation with an institution where the author is not actively enrolled or employed is strictly prohibited.
