Types of Articles Published

Types of Published Articles
EMTEKA is published either as a research article or a review article. 
         1. Research articles report original research findings in agricultural and biological sciences, engineering and technology, computer science, and other related science and technology. The research article should include a clear research question, methodology, results, and conclusion. The article should also provide a clear and concise discussion of the research findings, their implications, and their contributions to the relevant field of study. EMTEKA does not accept case studies unless it is a study that has a wide impact on the community or industry. The total length of the manuscript, including references, must not exceed 10,000 words.
         2. Review articles comprehensively review the existing literature on a specific topic in agricultural and biological sciences, engineering and technology, computer science, and others related to science and technology. Review articles should critically analyze and synthesize the literature, identify knowledge gaps, and suggest future research directions. The format and length of review papers are more flexible than research articles. Typical reviews are less than 12,000 words, including references.
         All published articles in EMTEKA should be based on rigorous and ethical research and adhere to the highest standards of scientific integrity. The journal encourages the submission of articles that present innovative and original research and contribute to developing new theories, methodologies, and techniques.
