Introduction to the Template. Welcome to the manuscript preparation guidelines for the Journal of Systems Engineering and Information Technology (JOSEIT). This document serves as both a template and a comprehensive guide to help you craft a well-structured research article that meets our publication standards. By following this template, you'll ensure your submission aligns with JOSEIT's formatting requirements and presentation style, which will facilitate the peer review process and potentially expedite publication.
The JOSEIT focuses on high-quality research in systems engineering and information technology domains. Our aim is to publish articles that demonstrate originality, methodological rigor, and significant contribution to the field. The following sections will guide you through the preparation of each component of your manuscript.
Your title should capture the essence of your research in a clear, concise manner. This constraint encourages precision and helps readers quickly understand your paper's focus. Avoid using abbreviations, formulas, or jargon in your title unless absolutely necessary.
List all authors who have made substantial contributions to the work. Use superscript numbers to link authors with their respective affiliations. Designate the corresponding author with an asterisk (*) after their superscript number.
For each distinct affiliation, provide the Department, Institution, City, and Country.
Include the email address of the corresponding author.
The abstract appears on the first page and serves as a standalone summary of your work. It should address the following elements:
Begin your abstract with the word "Abstract." in bold followed by your text. Many readers will decide whether to read your entire paper based solely on your abstract, so craft it with care and precision. Avoid citations, specialized abbreviations, and detailed descriptions of routine methods.
Provide 3-5 keywords or short phrases that capture the essential topics of your paper — terms researchers might use when searching for content in your field.
The introduction should engage the reader while clearly establishing context and purpose. Address these key questions:
Begin with broader concepts and gradually narrow to your specific research focus. The introduction should end with a paragraph that outlines the structure of the remainder of your paper.
Provide sufficient detail to allow other researchers to reproduce your work, including:
For complex methodologies, use subsections (e.g., "2.1 Data Collection," "2.2 Experimental Setup," "2.3 Analytical Framework") to organize your description. If you introduce novel methods, explain them thoroughly; for established methods, a brief description with appropriate citations is sufficient.
This section forms the core of your paper. Organize your results logically, moving from major to minor findings, or chronologically if appropriate. When presenting results:
You may structure this section using subsections based on your major findings or themes:
The conclusion synthesizes your key findings and articulates their broader significance. This section should:
Both tables and figures should be self-explanatory and complement — not duplicate — the text. Ensure each visual element adds value to your paper.
Recognizes individuals and organizations who contributed to your research but do not qualify for authorship. Begin with "The authors wish to thank..." and acknowledge:
Keep acknowledgments concise and professional. Place this section after your conclusion and before references.
References document the scholarly conversation your work participates in. JOSEIT follows the IEEE citation style:
