Abstract- Enter an abstract of up to 250 (maximum) words for all articles. This is a concise summary of the whole paper, not just the conclusions, and is understandable without reference to the rest of the paper. It should contain no citation to other published work. Include up to six keywords that describe your paper for indexing purposes. Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract. Abbreviations such as IEEE, SI, MKS, CGS, sc, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title unless they are unavoidable.
Keywords Keyword1, keyword2, keyword3, keyword4, keyword5, keyword6.
- Introduction
Authors should use any word processing software that is capable to make corrections on misspelled words and grammar structure according to American or Native English (please be consistent). Authors may get help from word processor by making the paragraph marks and other hidden formatting symbols. This sample article is prepared to assist authors preparing their articles to SCEETC.
Indent level of paragraphs should be 0.63 cm (0.24 in) in the text of article. Use double column layout, single line-spacing and wide (3 cm) margins on white paper. Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated. Present Tables and Figure legends in the text where they are related and cited. Number all pages consecutively; use 12 pt font size and standard fonts; Times New Roman, is preferred. Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text. The actual authors can be referred to, but the reference number(s) must always be given. Example: “…..intensity as demonstrated [3, 6]. Barnaby and Jones [8] obtained a different result ….”
SCEETC accepts submissions in two styles that are defined as Research Papers, and Review papers. The requirements of paper are as listed below:
- Research Papers should not exceed 12 printed pages in two-column publishing format, including figures and tables.
- Reviews should not exceed 15 printed pages in two-column publishing format, including figures and tables.
Authors are requested to write equations using either any mathematical equation object inserted to word processor or using independent equation software. Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Use “Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” while citing in the text. Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in Eq. (1). To make equations more compact, you may use the solidus ( / ), the exp function, or appropriate exponents. Italicize Roman symbols for quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an dash (-) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a sentence, as in
C = a + b (1)
Section titles should be written in bold style while sub section titles are in italic.
- Figures and Tables
- Figure Properties
All illustrations must be supplied at the correct resolution:
- Black and white and colour photos – 300 dpi
- Graphs, drawings, etc – 800 dpi preferred; 600 dpi minimum
- Combinations of photos and drawings (black and white and colour) – 500 dpi
Figures are replaced in the text either .tiff jpeg or .eps format during submission, with the figure number as Fig.1., Fig.2a and so on. Figures are cited as “Fig.1” in sentences or as “Figure 1” at the beginning of sentence and paragraphs. Explanations related to figures should be given before figure.

Figures and tables should be located at the top or bottom side of paper as done in accepted article format. Table captions should be written in the same format as figure captions; for example, “Table 1. Appearance styles.”. Tables should be referenced in the text unabbreviated as “Table 1.”
Table 1. Appearance properties of accepted manuscripts
| Type size (pts.) | Appearance | ||
| Regular | Bold | Italic | |
| 10 | Main text, section titles, authors’ affiliations, abstract, keywords, references, tables, table names, figure captions, equations, footnotes, text subscripts, and superscripts | Abstract- | Subheading (1.1.) |
| 12 | Authors’ names, | ||
| 24 | Paper title | ||
- Text Layout for Accepted Papers
A4 page margins should be: top = 24 mm, bottom = 24 mm, side = 15 mm. The column width is 87mm (3.425 in). The space between the two columns is 6 mm (0.236 in). Paragraph indentation is 3.5 mm (0.137 in). Follow the type sizes specified in Table. Position figures and tables at the tops and bottoms of columns. Avoid placing them in the middle of columns. Large figures and tables may span across both columns. Figure captions should be centred below the figures; table captions should be centred above. Avoid placing figures and tables before their first mention in the text. Use the abbreviation “Fig. 1,” even at the beginning of a sentence.
- Submission Process
The Sustainable, Clean and Emerging Energy Technologies Conference 2024 (SCEETC) operates an online submission and peer review system that allows authors to submit articles online. Conference Technical Chair (CTC) handles submitted articles to SCEETC primarily in order to control in terms of compatibility to the aims and scope of the Conference. Original research manuscripts should not exceed 15 pages, typed in Times New Roman font 10, with 1 line spacing and an all-round margin of one inch. This includes references, figures and tables.
Review papers can be allowed up to 20 pages or more (excluding references), typed in Times New Roman font 12, with 1.5 line spacing and an all-round margin of one inch.
Abstract should not exceed 250 words and must have a statement of Introduction, Methodology, Results and Conclusion.
All figure must be of high printing quality
All equations must be written using Equation Editor
In-text, references should be cited by consecutive numbers in square brackets using the IEEE format, e.g. [1], not by names of authors and year of publication
Authors must check their manuscripts for plagiarism before submission. The Journal has zero tolerance for plagiarism.
All submitted manuscript should have similarity index of less than 10%. The Conference will require all authors to submit the plagiarism test result (preferably using Turnitin) as first or last page of their manuscript subjects all submissions to plagiarism check and those that fail this initial test will be returned to the author for further refinement and re-submission. Author should avoid unethical and manipulative self-citation.
Articles that passed this control are checked for grammatical and template structures. If article passes this control too, then reviewers are assigned to article and CTC gives a reference number to paper. CTC also informs authors about processes of submitted article by e-mail. Each author may also apply to CTC via email (sceet-g@unn.edu.ng) to review papers related to their study areas. Peer review is a critical element of publication, and one of the major cornerstones of the scientific process. Peer Review serves two key functions:
- Authors are requested to suggest 3 possible reviewers to their articles giving the reviewers names, institutions and email addresses. However, the CTC is not under obligation to use the reviewers.
- Conclusion
The conclusion section should emphasize the main contribution of the article to literature. Authors may also explain why the work is important, what are the novelties or possible applications and extensions. Do not replicate the abstract or sentences given in main text as the conclusion. Conclusion may include suggestions for further research to advance the work
Acknowledgements
Authors may acknowledge any person, institution or department that supported any part of study especially the funding agency.
