Note also that pdf or dvi files cannot be used for electronic copy editing or printing and will also necessitate conventional typesetting from the hard-copy manuscript.

Upon acceptance of an article, author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright in accordance with the IJET's rule.

Note: Non-native English speaking authors are requested to have the paper checked by a native English speaker before the final version of the paper is submitted.
