Article Structure

Title

The title should be concise, descriptive, and accurately reflect the content of the manuscript to attract the right audience.

Authors

The Authors section should include the full names, affiliations (department, institution, city, and country), and email addresses of all contributors. Ensure that all listed authors meet the criteria for authorship, having made significant contributions to the research or manuscript, and that the corresponding author is clearly identified for communication purposes.

Abstract

The abstract is a concise summary of the manuscript, typically between 150–250 words, designed to provide readers with a clear and comprehensive overview of the research. It should clearly state the purpose or objective of the study, the methodologies or approaches used, the most significant findings, and the main conclusions or implications of the results.

To ensure clarity, the abstract should avoid technical jargon, undefined abbreviations, or citations, and should be written in complete sentences. It must be standalone and provide enough context to be understood without referring to the full manuscript.

Keywords

The keywords section should include 4–8 terms or phrases that reflect the main topics and focus of the manuscript. These keywords help improve the discoverability of your work.

Main text

The main text is the core of the manuscript, presenting the research in a clear and logical sequence. It should typically include the following sections:

• Introduction. Outline the background, significance, and objectives of the research.
• Methods. Describe the methodology, tools, and approaches used, ensuring reproducibility.
• Results. Present key findings using text, tables, and figures for clarity.
• Discussion. Interpret the results, compare them with previous research, and highlight their implications.
• Conclusions. Summarize the main outcomes and suggest future research directions.

Acknowledgements

Recognize individuals or organizations who contributed to the research or manuscript preparation but do not meet the criteria for authorship. Authors should clearly state the nature of each contribution and ensure that all individuals mentioned have given permission for their name and affiliation to be included.

Data Availability

All Extrica journals adopt a research data policy which requires data availability statements. Mandatory data availability statements consolidate information on the availability of data associated with the manuscript, whether data are in repositories, available on request, included with supplementary information or figure source data files.

E.g., “The datasets generated during and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.”

Author Contributions

If there are more than 1 author, the contribution of each author must be provided.

The given author name as the corresponding author will be the main contact during the review process and should not change.

We have adopted the CRediT Taxonomy to describe each author’s individual contributions to the work. The submitting author is responsible for providing the contributions of all authors at submission or if asked later. We expect that all authors will have reviewed, discussed, and agreed to their individual contributions ahead of this time. Contributions will be published with the final article, and they should accurately reflect contributions to the work.

Conflict of Interest

All authors submitting to Extrica journals are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could influence, or appear to influence, the research, analysis, interpretation, or presentation of the work. Examples of potential conflicts include, but are not limited to:

• Employment or consultancy with organizations that may gain or lose financially from the publication of the article.
• Ownership of stocks, equity, or other financial interests in entities related to the research.
• Receipt of honoraria, funding, or grants from organizations associated with the study.
• Patent applications, intellectual property rights, or licensing agreements connected to the subject of the manuscript.
• Personal or professional relationships with individuals or organizations that could be perceived as influencing the work.

Authors should provide a comprehensive conflict-of-interest statement at the time of submission. If no conflicts exist, authors should explicitly state:

“The authors declare no conflicts of interest.”

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring all authors have reviewed and agreed upon the final statement before submission. If the article is accepted for publication, the declared conflicts (or absence thereof) will be published alongside the manuscript to maintain transparency and integrity.

Ethics Statement

For research involving human or animal subjects, provide an ethics statement detailing approval and compliance with relevant guidelines, specifying:

• Adherence to all applicable laws and ethics standards.
• The name of the Ethics Committee(s) or Institutional Review Board(s);
• The Protocol Number of the Ethics Approval;
• Date of issue of the Ethics Approval;
• Confirmation that the participants have given informed consent.

Extrica recommends using the below templates of the Ethics Statement when submitting articles:

“The research adhered to all applicable laws and ethics standards. Permission to perform clinical trials investigation was granted by [insert name of the Ethics Committee(s)], No. [insert Protocol Number of the Ethics Approval], [insert date of issue of the Ethics Approval]. Participants provided written informed consent prior to the research.”

“The research adhered to all applicable laws and ethics standards. According to resolution No. [insert the number of the resolution] of [insert the date of the resolution], issued by [insert name of the Ethics Committee(s)], there is no need for an Ethics Approval of the research. Participants provided written informed consent prior to the research.”

References

Authors are encouraged to follow these recommendations for citing and formatting references to facilitate the review process:

Citing References

• References should be numbered consecutively in the order they appear in the text.
• Use square brackets for citations, e.g., [1], [2]-[5], [6], etc.
• If citing multiple references, list them as a range or individually, e.g., [1–3], [7].

Placing References in the article

• References to figures, tables, and equations should appear in the text using consistent formatting, such as:
• • Figures: Fig. 1, Figs. 1 and 2, Fig. 1(a).
  • Tables: Table 1, Table 2.
  • Equations: Eq. (1), Eq. (2–3).

Formatting References

Authors are recommended to use the IEEE citation style for consistency and clarity:

• Journals: Author initials and surname, “Title of the paper,” Journal Title, vol. X, no. Y, pp. Z–ZZ, Year, DOI (if available).
• Books: Author initials and surname, Title of the Book, Xth ed., City, Country: Publisher, Year.
• Conference Papers: Author initials and surname, “Title of the paper,” in Conference Name, Location (optional), Year, pp. X–XX

Appendixes

Include supplementary material that supports the main text but is not essential for its core understanding. This can include additional data, detailed calculations, technical descriptions, or extended methods.

Appendices should be labeled sequentially (e.g., Appendix A, Appendix B) and referenced in the main text as needed. Figures, tables, and equations within the appendices should be numbered separately, prefixed with the appendix label (e.g., Table A1, Fig. B1, Eq. (A1)). This section allows authors to provide valuable context without disrupting the flow of the main manuscript.
