Author Guidelines

  1. Manuscripts should be written in English. The title should be a maximum of 12 words, encompassing the research issue, methods, and implications. Do not mention specific locations.

  2. Author identification, including: full name without academic title and without mentioning profession (lecturer/student). Names, affiliations, and addresses should be written according to the Journal of Applied Information Technology (J-TIT) template.

  3. Abstracts for research articles should be a maximum of 200 words. Research abstracts should consist of the issue addressed, research gaps, objectives, methods used, results, and implications of the research. Abstracts should be written clearly and concisely to help readers understand new and important aspects without reading the entire article.

  4. Keywords should be listed on the same page as the abstract, separated by a semicolon (;). Please use 3-6 appropriate keywords to aid indexing and should be sorted alphabetically.

  5. The manuscript should consist of:

  • Introduction: The introduction contains the issue raised, previous research, gaps in the proposed research, novelty, and objectives of the study. References should be sourced from 80% reputable international journals or accredited national journals with a minimum Sinta 2 rating, and 20% from other sources such as proceedings, books, and other sources. The introduction should consist of 3-5 paragraphs, each 100-250 words.
  • Methods: The methods should include the research context, proposed research design, data sample, development procedures, data collection and analysis techniques. Provide sufficient method details, including ethical conduct.
  • Results and Discussion: The results should state the main findings of the study rather than providing detailed data. Results should be clear, concise, and can be reported in text or graphs. Please provide an introduction to the information presented in each table or figure with a narrative of at least 100-200 words. The discussion should explore and review the research objectives.
  • Conclusion
    The conclusion addresses the research problem or objectives, or may also generate a new theory/concept based on existing facts/analysis. There should be no further discussion in the Conclusion section. Implications or suggestions may be added (not mandatory). Write them in paragraph form, not in a list/numbered items. Do not divide them into conclusions and suggestions. The conclusion can be a synthesis, implications, research weaknesses, or future research.
  • Acknowledgements (if any): Briefly acknowledge the research funders, but not the co-authors.
    References: References consist of all references used in writing the article. Ensure citations are as contemporary as possible, including citations from the current year of writing. Use references from the last 5 years in scientific fields and the last 10 years in other fields. References should come from 80% reputable international journals or accredited national journals with a minimum Sinta 2 ranking, and 20% from other sources such as proceedings, books, and others.

  1. Each table should be typed in single space. The number of tables should be systematically listed as mentioned in the text and accompanied by a short title. Provide explanations in footnotes rather than in the title. Please explain in footnotes any non-standard information mentioned in the tables. The total number of tables should not exceed 6.

  2. The article should be written on A4 paper with a minimum margin of 2.5 for each page, using Microsoft Word, Times New Roman font, and single-spaced. The maximum number of pages is 10. Each page should be numbered from the title to the last page of the article.

  3. Citations should use IEEE style [1]. Direct citations in references should include the page number. IEEE style applies in writing the article. Citations and references are recommended to be written using Mendeley desktop software. The following is a guide to using Mendeley desktop software to manage citations and references.
