Submitting to Engineering with Computers goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Engineering with Computers 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 Engineering with Computers. 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 Engineering with Computers 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 Engineering with Computers 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 Engineering with Computers 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 the journal's submission system.
| Element | Eng with Computers requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | 150 to 250 words. Unstructured (no specific headings required). The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references. For life science journals only (when applicable), trial registration information must be included |
| Main text | - The submission guidelines do not specify overall word limits or page limits for the main text by article type |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | 4 to 6 keywords for indexing purposes. No MeSH requirement stated |
| References | Numbered citation style. Reference citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets. The list of references should be numbered consecutively. Format follows Springer's standard: Author names, year in parentheses, title, journal name (abbreviated per ISSN LTWA), volume:pages, DOI as full link. LaTeX users should use the bibliography style file sn-basic.bst |
| Peer review | Single-blind (single-anonymized). Most Springer journals use a single-anonymized peer review process where author identities are known to peer reviewers, but peer reviewer identities are not revealed to the authors. The submission guidelines note that standards may vary slightly per journal dependent on their peer review policies (i.e., single or double blind peer review), but no specific statement confirming double-blind for this journal was found |

Read the Engineering with Computers 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 Engineering with Computers in under a page.
Skim two or three recent Eng with Computers 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 Engineering with Computers journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Engineering with Computers guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's submission system.
