Author Guidelines

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology receives three types of manuscripts: Research articles, Review articles, Conceptual articles, and Technical notes.

Research paper: This should be based on original work, with results confirmed through clearly described research problems, methods, and materials. The methods and experimental procedures used must be clearly described to allow replication. The sites must be clearly described, and the conditions of the experiments must be clearly detailed. The full research paper should be able to describe and interpret the work clearly, but should not exceed 25 pages in length, A4 size, Times New Roman font 12 points, and with single spacing.

Technical paper/notes: Describes and evaluates technical products, processes, or services. A technical note is a short article describing a procedure, technique or specific development. It may describe a new device, method, or modification of an existing procedure, technique, or code of practice. Technical notes should be 7 to 10 pages long, A4 size, single spacing, and Times New Roman font 12 points, single spacing.

Review articles/Conceptual articles: This category should only be used if the paper's main purpose is to annotate and/or critique the literature in a specific scientific and/or engineering-related field. The contributor is expected to evaluate how each study was conducted and focus on the study design and analysis to compare studies and discuss their implications. Review papers should be concise and not exceed 25 manuscript pages in length, A4 size, Times New Roman font 12 points, and single spacing
