Manuscript Preparation

JUISI: Jurnal Ilmiah Sistem Informasi provides manuscript preparation requirements to ensure consistent formatting, readability, and effective presentation of scholarly research. Authors must use the official journal template and organize their manuscripts systematically, emphasizing analytical clarity and academic rigor.

1. General Manuscript Formatting

Manuscripts must be prepared in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) using the official JUISI template and the following specifications:

  • Manuscript length: 4,000–12,000 words and 14–20 pages. The minimum word count excludes references, while the maximum includes references.

  • Main text: Times New Roman 10 pt, single spacing, with 6 pt spacing before paragraphs.

  • Page layout, margins, headers, and footers must follow the official template.

  • Section and subsection numbering must remain consistent throughout the manuscript.

  • Foreign-language terms in Indonesian manuscripts must be italicized.

  • Abbreviations must be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.

Authors must preserve the prescribed formatting and layout of the journal template.

2. Title and Author Information

Article titles must be written in English, contain no more than 14 words, and use Times New Roman 16 pt. Titles should be specific, informative, and representative of the principal research contribution.

Author information must include full names without academic titles, institutional affiliations, institutional addresses, and the corresponding author's email address.

An anonymized manuscript file must be prepared for double-blind peer review in accordance with the journal's submission requirements.

3. Abstract and Keywords

Each manuscript must include abstracts in English and Indonesian, each containing 200–250 words.

Abstracts must be presented in a single paragraph and briefly describe the research background, objectives, methodology, data or instruments, principal findings, and scholarly contributions or implications.

Each abstract must be accompanied by 3–5 relevant keywords representing the central concepts of the study.

4. Manuscript Structure and Content Presentation

Manuscripts must follow the prescribed structure:

1. Introduction

The Introduction presents the research background, empirical phenomena, supporting evidence, previous studies, research gap, objectives, and scholarly contribution.

This section should contain 3–6 paragraphs, with at least four sentences per paragraph and a minimum of five relevant citations.

2. Literature Review

The Literature Review critically synthesizes relevant theories and previous research. Authors should establish relationships among studies, identify limitations in existing knowledge, and develop an appropriate conceptual foundation.

3. Research Methodology

The methodology describes the research design, data sources, collection procedures, instruments, analytical methods, and validation or evaluation techniques.

System development studies must explain their development procedures, system architecture, and evaluation mechanisms. Quantitative studies should report population characteristics, sampling procedures, and instrument assessment where applicable.

Methods must be described in sufficient detail to support scholarly evaluation and research reproducibility.

4. Results and Discussion

Research findings must be presented systematically through analytical narratives supported by relevant tables, figures, graphs, or other illustrations.

The discussion should interpret the findings, relate them to the research objectives, compare them with previous studies, and explain their theoretical or practical implications.

This section must demonstrate critical analysis rather than merely reporting implementation activities or experimental outputs.

5. Conclusion and Recommendations

The Conclusion summarizes the principal findings in relation to the research objectives or questions without introducing new evidence.

Recommendations should be supported by the findings and may address research limitations, practical implications, or future research directions.

6. References

References must follow IEEE style and be organized numerically according to their first appearance in the manuscript.

5. Tables, Figures, Equations, and Algorithms

Visual and technical elements must be clearly presented and appropriately integrated into the manuscript.

  • Tables: Numbered consecutively, with descriptive titles placed above. Table content uses Times New Roman 8 pt, single spacing, and no paragraph spacing before or after. Tables must remain editable.

  • Figures: Numbered consecutively, with captions placed below. Figures must have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi and remain clearly legible.

  • Equations: Prepared using Equation Editor, numbered sequentially on the right, and accompanied by explanations of the variables.

  • Algorithms: Presented as structured pseudocode or flowcharts. Pseudocode may be formatted in tables using Consolas or Courier New 8 pt.

All tables, figures, equations, and algorithms must be explicitly referenced and discussed in the manuscript. Adapted materials require appropriate source attribution.

6. Citations and Reference Formatting

JUISI follows IEEE citation style, using numerical references according to the order of appearance.

In-text citations are presented in square brackets, such as [1], [2], and [3]. Every citation must correspond to a complete bibliographic entry in the reference list.

Manuscripts must include at least 25 relevant scholarly references, prioritizing recent and reputable academic publications.

Authors are encouraged to use reference management software, such as Mendeley, to maintain citation accuracy and formatting consistency.

7. Final Manuscript Checklist

Before uploading their manuscripts, authors must verify that:

  • All sections follow the required manuscript structure and official formatting.

  • The title, abstracts, keywords, and author details are correctly prepared.

  • Research methods and findings are clearly and consistently presented.

  • Tables, figures, equations, and algorithms are numbered and cited in the text.

  • In-text citations and references comply with IEEE style.

  • Language consistency, section numbering, and document formatting have been thoroughly checked.

Manuscripts that do not meet the technical preparation requirements may be returned for formatting corrections before further editorial assessment.

Authors must use the latest Manuscript Template available on the official JUISI website as the primary reference for manuscript preparation.
