Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Material and methods
Provide sufficient details to allow the work to be reproduced by an independent researcher. Methods that are already published should be summarized, and indicated by a reference. If quoting directly from a previously published method, use quotation marks and also cite the source. Any modifications to existing methods should also be described.
Theory/calculation
A Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction and lay the foundation for further work. In contrast, a Calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis.
Results
Results should be clear and concise.
Discussion
This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
Conclusions
The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.
References to the sources used should be in the order of mentioning in the text in the format [1], [2-6], [3, 5, 7]. You should not give links to unpublished articles.
Articles must not contain page numbers, headers or footers
This is extremely important. Page numbers, copyright details etc are added by IOP Publishing during the production and publication process. If you put page numbers on your paper we will have to contact you for a replacement PDF, which could delay publication of the entire proceedings.

Your abstract needs to be concise but convey as much information as possible about the content of your article. In addition, IOP Publishing will supply your abstract to many other database systems used by researchers to find papers; consequently, your article’s abstract will help bring your work to the attention of the scientific community.
All papers must have the e-mail address of one author we can contact

SELF-REFERENCING
While some self-citation may be desirable, authors should avoid overly citing their previous work to inflate their citation count. Authors should also avoid a self-citation that could violate the double-blind review process.
CONFLICT OF INTERESTS
Authors should avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest throughout the research process. A conflict of interest is any event known to a participant in the publication process such that, if it is revealed later, it would make a reader feel reasonably deceived, (or an author, reviewer or editor feels defensive). If there are doubts about whether a circumstance represents a conflict, the authors should contact the Scientific Committee, so that it can assess its importance.
DOUBLE-BLIND REVIEWING
ISCES 2024 follows a double-blind review process, by which the Authors do not know the reviewers and vice versa. Authors should respect the confidentiality of the review process and should not be disclosed to reviewers, and vice versa. For example, the manuscript should not include any information through which any Author identity can be inferred to a Reviewer. Authors should not publish the work they have submitted to websites where they can be easily discovered by potential reviewers, including working documents and previous drafts.
