+# Contributing Naming Convention
+
+## General Guidelines
+
+This document outlines the naming conventions for our project. These conventions are intended to promote consistency and clarity across different components.
+
+### Specific Conventions
+
+#### Python Code
+
+  **Style**: We follow the official Python Enhancement Proposal 8 [PEP8]((https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/#package-and-module-names) ) guidelines for naming conventions.
+
+#### Jupyter Notebooks
+
+ **File Names**: File names should start with an underscore (_). Please use underscores instead of hyphens.
+
+#### Documentation
+
+ **Directory and File Names**: Directory and file names should use hyphens (-) instead of underscores.
+
+#### Tests
+
+1. **Test File and Function Names**: Test files and functions should start with `test_`.
+2. **Additional Guidelines**: For additional guidelines, please refer to the [pytest documentation](https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/explanation/goodpractices.html#conventions-for-python-test-discovery).
+
+!!! note "Test File Naming Convention"
+    We do not use the _test.py suffix for test files
