Which File Do You Need, and When?

Not every file above is needed at once. They belong to three different points in the process, and downloading the right one at the right time is what keeps a submission moving — the most common delay is an author sending the undertaking form before the paper has even been accepted.

Before You Submit

Preparing the manuscript

After Acceptance

Only once your paper is accepted
  • Undertaking Form — print, sign, scan
  • Identity proof of the corresponding author
  • Payment proof with transaction ID and date

After Publication

Yours to keep

Manuscript Format at a Glance

These are the settings already applied inside the sample paper format, so writing directly into that file gets them for free. They are listed here so you can check an existing draft without opening it.

A4210 × 297 mm page size
Times New Roman 12ptHeadings and subheadings 12pt bold
Double-spacedThroughout the manuscript
IEEE referencesNumbered [1], [2] in order of appearance
250-word abstractPlus 4–6 keywords

Completing the Undertaking Form

This form is the single most common reason a paper is sent back after acceptance. It has to be a scan of a physically signed page — a typed name or a pasted image of a signature is not accepted.

Download & print

Print the form on plain paper. One form covers all authors of the paper.

Fill in by hand

Paper title, registration ID and every author’s name exactly as submitted.

Sign in ink

Handwritten signature from the corresponding author. Digital signatures are not accepted.

Scan & email

Scan as PDF and send with the other documents in a single email.

Send all documents together in one email to editor@ijrti.org, with your paper registration ID in the subject line. Name the manuscript file after that ID — for example IJRTI2508001.docx. Sending documents one at a time restarts the review of your file set, which is what usually delays publication past the normal 1–2 days.
