Author Guidelines

Author Guidelines

Authors are requested to submit only manuscripts that have been thoroughly proofread and checked for clarity, coherence, and originality. Manuscripts submitted to Journal V-Code are accepted with the understanding that they represent original work or an extended version of previously published conference papers, and that, if the work has received any official sponsorship, it has been duly authorized for open publication.

Before submission, please ensure that your manuscript has been prepared using the Journal V-Code official paper template. Authors must refer to the Journal V-Code manuscript template (available in .DOCX or LaTeX format) and adhere strictly to the formatting guidelines. The use of reference management software such as Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote is highly recommended, and all references must follow the IEEE citation style. Manuscripts that do not conform to the journal’s formatting and ethical requirements will not be processed for review.
