Author Guidelines

IJOCE publishes original articles on the scope of offshore and coastal engineering, science and technology. Articles are considered for publication with the condition that they have not been published or submitted for publication by other publishers.

Manuscript should be submitted online to IJOCE via the journal website. Manuscript will be reviewed by reviewers with the criteria of originality, significance, quality, and accuracy. Editorial board authorized to accept, reject, or suggest the authors to improve manuscripts.

Language, manuscripts should be written in English.

Abstract, concise description (not more than 200 words) of the purpose, methods, results, and conclusions required. Keywords (not more than 6) should be provided below abstract, first keyword being the most important.

Formation, the manuscript should be composed with minimum six (6) full pages up to maximum eight (8) pages. The paper should comprise at least four (4) subtitles, namely: a) Introduction, b) Basic Theory and/or Methodology, c) Results and Discussions, d) Conclusions. Authors should prepare the manuscript in Microsoft Word and PDF according to the IJOCE Template which can be downloaded from this website.

Tables must be titled and numbered consecutively and positioned at the center. Descriptions and numbers inside the table should be typed with font size 9 or less (but they should be readable).
