Author Guidelines

Nanofabrication follows a double-blind peer-review policy, for more information about the journal and the publisher's peer-review policy, please check here; authors’ information cannot be identified by reviewers. So manuscripts must be divided into two parts: Title page and Main body

Title Page

The body text of the manuscripts must contain a Title (repeated here) and an Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Literature Review, Method, Result, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgement, Conflict of interest, and References.

The abstract must not exceed 300 words and follow the IMRC pattern; Keywords should not be more than eight words. The first letters of Keywords must be capitalized.

Main headings including Introduction, literature review, Method, Result, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgement, and References do NOT need numbers.
Article types:

The number of article words can be between 1000-20000 words based on article types:

Style Details:

References & Citation

The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and opposite. Papers presented at meetings but not yet published or accepted for publication, and unpublished data should be mentioned in the references (e.g. (In press)). Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a source.

References and citations normally follow American Psychological Association (APA) style.

Reference list

The reference list should be alphabetical by the last names of the first author of each work. Order multi-author publications of the same first author alphabetically concerning the year and then second and third authors. References and citations normally follow American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition style.
