2) Peer Review
The IECO employs a web-based manuscript submission portal for peer-review. All manuscripts are treated as confidential. Each manuscript is peer-reviewed by at least two anonymous reviewers who are specialized in the field of the manuscript.
3) Language
IECO publications are in the English language. As all the published papers are accessed internationally so it is required to prepare your paper in the proper English language. If your native language is not English, please get a native English-speaking person to carefully proofread your paper. All the submissions with broken English will be rejected by the secretary without any review.
3) References
Referencing is based on the IEEE Referencing Style.
In the referencing of sources, it should be carefully introduced first to Persian sources and then English sources.
Sources should be sorted based on the last name of the first author, and if the last name of the first author is the same, they will be sorted based on the last name of the next author and the year. After sorting the first source, it is introduced with the number 1, and in the same way, a reference number is determined for other sources. This number is used for reference in the text.
In general, the order of writing the specifications of the sources in this style of reference writing is first the reference number, the name of the author or authors, the title of the source in italics, its edition number, the place of publication or the publisher, and finally the year of publication.
