Submitting to Cyber Security and Applications goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Cyber Security and Applications guide for authors before peer review, so formatting, structure, and required statements should be right on the first draft rather than repaired during upload. This template sets that structure up for you.
It is a manuscript shell aligned to Cyber Security and Applications. It covers front matter, the abstract the journal expects, a body organized to the journal's article types, and a reference list in the journal's required style. Confirm current scope and article types on the Cyber Security and Applications journal page before you draft.
Prepare the title, authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs. Write the abstract to the journal's rule and word limit, organize the body to the article type, and apply the required reference style from the first citation. Complete every declaration (ethics, competing interests, funding, data availability) the Cyber Security and Applications guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
The common failure modes are formatting or reference style that does not match the guide for authors, missing required statements, and an incomplete portal checklist. Clear all three against the Cyber Security and Applications guide for authors before you submit.
The shell mirrors what editorial staff check first: article-type fit, the abstract rules, required declarations, and the journal's reference style. For more detail see the author resources. When your draft is ready, upload it through Editorial Manager.

|---|---|
| Abstract | Unstructured abstract required, maximum 350 words. The abstract should briefly state the purpose of research, principal results and major conclusions.

Non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided or defined at first mention |
| Main text | - The official guide for authors does not specify overall word count or page limits for the main text of research articles |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | 3 to 6 keywords required for indexing purposes. Keywords should be written in English. Authors should try to avoid keywords consisting of multiple words (using 'and' or 'of'). Abbreviations in keywords should only be used if they are firmly established in the field |
| References | Numbered reference style using square brackets in text (e.g., [3,6]). References numbered in the order they appear in the article. Journal names abbreviated according to List of Title Word Abbreviations (LTWA). Examples provided follow numbered format with DOI links |

Read the Cyber Security and Applications guide for authors once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after results are stable. Set the reference style before adding citations. Keep a cover letter that states your contribution and fit to Cyber Security and Applications in under a page.
Skim two or three recent Cyber Security Appl papers to calibrate depth and figure style. Make the novelty clear in the first two pages. Deposit data and code when the policy on the Cyber Security and Applications journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Cyber Security and Applications guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through Editorial Manager.
