Literature Review

If author is mentioned at the beginning for the citation:

Rener (2020) developed the SC network with uncertainty. - For Single author

Rener and Ali (2020) developed the SC network with uncertainty. - For two authors

Rener et al. (2020) developed the SC network with uncertainty. - For more than two authors

or if author is mentioned at the end for the citation:

SC network was developed with uncertainty (Rener 2020). - For single author

SC network was developed with uncertainty (Rener and Ali 2020). - For two authors

SC network was developed with uncertainty (Rener et al. 2020). - For more than two authors

Full details should be provided at the end for Reference Section:

Few aspects to be considered to prepare a literature review:

· Introductory write up for literature review

· Make sure to add some recent references

· Avoid paper-by-paper review. It should be based on category. Similar topics, applications or tools could be added in one paragraph. Few citations should be in a paragraph.

· A summary paragraph should be added.

Figures

· Texts of figure should be readable

· Original high quality pictures

· Center justification

· Title of Figure should be in center and it must be mentioned as “Figure x: …”

· Title of figure should be sentence case with center justification and 10 font

· Title should be after figure

· All figure numbers must be mentioned in the body of the paper.

· One space between texts and figure, figure and title of the figure and title of the figure and texts.

Figure 1. Name of the figure

Tables

· Texts of table should be readable

· Center justification

· Title of table should be in center and it must be mentioned as “Table x: …” It should be added before table.

· Title of table should be sentence case with center justification and 10 font size

· All table numbers must be mentioned in the body of the paper.

· One space between texts and table, table and title of the table and title of the table and texts.

Table 1. Name of the table

References

· References title – 12 font with bold and left justification

· References texts – 10 font

· No numbering should be used for reference title

· Last name and year should be used for any reference citation. Last name and year should be used for single author and double authors. For more than two authors, last name of the first author and “et al.” with year should be used. For examples: Reimer (2009), (Reimer 2009), Reimer and Ali (2009), (Reimer and Ali 2009), Reimer et al. (2009) and (Reimer et al. 2009). Number is not allowed in the reference citation.

· All references must be cited in the paper.

· Journal and conference names should in in italic.

· Title of the book should be in italic.

· All lines after the first line of references list should be indented one-fourth (1/4) inch from the left margin. This is called hanging indentation. .

· Last name and first initial should be should in the reference formatting like below examples.
