About HTTTC Conference

HTTTC Conference on Innovation in Tertiary and Industrial Sciences is an event that is conceived to take place every year. The theme of this year is ‘ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND SMALL BUSINESSES AS BEDROCK FOR INNOVATION AND DEVELOPMENT’. As experts in the domain, you are requested to send your research papers as your application to the above e-mails. The paper will be presented during the conference which will be an excellent opportunity to connect with other experts in your field and make a meaningful contribution to the advancement of science. Corrected manuscripts will be published after the conference in the special edition of the Journal of Tertiary and Industrial Sciences, JTIS.

Objectives of the Conference

The main objective of this conference is to bring together science, technology and engineering experts in the fields of Entrepreneurship and Small Businesses, to show case advances in the domain. These advances will help stimulate interest in students and other stakeholders, who may take up research and/or entrepreneurial engagements in these areas for local economic growth and development. This will eventually curb unemployment and reduce human capital flight.

Abstract 
Abstract font should be Book Antiqua, Size 10, and justify. It should contain no more than 150 words and should report concisely on the purpose and results of the work described. It should be a single, self-contained paragraph which summarises the manuscript. Ideally, it should provide a brief context for the study, the objectives of the study, the methodology used and some key results in a qualitative manner. It should end with a sentence describing the recommendations and the implications of the study. The abstract must not include citations, figures or tables. 
Keywords— Maximum five key words in alphabetical order, separated by comma with capital letters for the first letters of each keyword.

1.      Introduction (Book Antiqua, 12 should be used although with line spacing 1.0. The work should be justify except for Title (Centralised) and authors right aligned)

The introduction brings out a general overview of the paper, identifies and explains the nature of the problem, the research questions, objectives/purpose of the study and the contribution of the paper. The introduction should be succinct, with no subheadings. Limited figures may be included only if they are truly introductory, and contain no new results.

2.      Literature Review (Only for Tertiary Sciences)

This section explores previous works and state the research gap as well as the theories mobilised.

3.      Methodology

This section contains sufficient details so that all procedures can be repeated. It may be divided into headed sub-sections such as the background to the study area, research approach, the population of study, sampling technique and sampling size, method (s) and instruments of data collection and analysis. Include the model if any here.

4.      Results and Discussion

The results and discussion should be presented in one combined section, and may optionally be divided into headed subsections. It is good to indicate here that the presentation should be in line with your objectives.

5.      Conclusions, Implications of the study, Contributions to science, Recommendations and suggestions for further studies

The Conclusions section should clearly explain the main findings, managerial and scientific implications of the work, highlighting its importance and relevance. It is also important here to raise the major contributions of the work as well as limitations, recommendations and suggestions for further studies.

6.      Acknowledgements

Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (for example, providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the article amongst others).

7.      References

After the References title, the list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list. Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work.

For all references cited, the author(s) name(s), journal name / book title, section title / article title, year of publication, volume number / book chapters and paging should be made available. Abbreviated journal names and book titles should not be used. If there is the DOI number of publications, it should be given.

Reference Links

APA indexing style will be used in order to create links to publications in the list of references. So it is necessary to be sure they are fully accurate. Please note that wrong name(s), the wrong journal and book title, wrong article title, wrong year of publication and incorrect page number can block links to the indexing service. Unpublished results and information obtained through articles and personal communications are not recommended for use as the reference. Printed stage in the resources, if any, should be given a DOI number.

Online Document (Web) Reference

If authors use online document reference, the full URL and last date accessed must be given in reference list of the paper. If any further information is known at the relevant web resources, DOI, author names, dates, the main source publication, etc., the reference should also be given.

References in the Text

(In-text citations) Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. Some examples;

– For single authored reference: … (Akume, 2023) or Akume (2023) …

– For double authored reference: (Akume and Negou, 2024)

– Reference with multiple authors: (Akume et al., 2024)

– For multiple references, in order of year: (Akume, 2000; Tobie, 2001; Agbortoko and GilianTaylor, 2005; Negou et al., 2023)

– For references with the same author and year: (Fonkem, 2000a; Fonkem, 2000b)

Reference list

The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and those that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list.
