The article title does not contain any uncommon abbreviation. The article title should be written within maximally 20 (twenty) words in English, 14pt-sized font, with the bold selection and title case in the center text format.

From December 2026 onward, submissions by Indonesian authors must include at least one international co-author.

3.    Abstract and Keywords
The abstract must contains: aims of the paper, methods, result, and conclusion within 100-200 words maximum. Abstract should be written stand-alone, means that no citation in the abstract, not referring to figure/ table / references. Avoid using uncommon abbreviations. You must be accurate, brief, clear and specific.  Keywords are the labels of your manuscript and critical to correct indexing and searching. Therefore the keywords should represent the content and highlight of your article. Keyword should be separated by a comma (,) within three to five keywords.

4.    Introduction
The introduction must contain a general background (shortly), a literature review (state of the art) in order to record the existing method/solutions, to show which is the best of previous researches and to show the main limitation of the previous researches. It has be contain with at least 5 literature in order to justify novelty this paper. The introduction should be clearly contain the gap analysis (why this research needs to be done? What is the uniqueness of this paper compared to previous papers?) as the basic of the new research question, statements of the new scientific article and main research problems (novelty). Example of novelty statement or the gap analysis statement in the end of Introduction section (after state of the art of previous research survey): “........ (short summary of background)....... A few researchers focused on ....... There have been limited studies concerned on ........ Therefore, this research intends to ................. The objectives of this research are .........”.

5.    Methods
The method used should be accompanied by references; the relevant modification should be explained. The procedure and data analysis technique should be emphasized in a literature review article. The stages and analysis of the research must be explained in detail. The methods section should also create a research flowchart and the proposed methods for the research article, while literature reviews or bibliometrics should use CONSORT, PRISMA, ARRIVE, or STROBE. It should also detail how these methods are used or implemented at each stage of the research or proposed method (not just the theory).

6.    Results and Discussion

Results

The results section and the following discussion section allow the most flexibility in terms of organization and content. In general, the pure, unbiased results should be presented first without interpretation. These results should present the data or the results after applying the techniques outlined in the methods section. The results are simply results; they do not draw conclusions. In the results section, the author must write down the research results in logical sequences, according to the research flow. The study results are presented in the form of narrative/textual, tables, or images in the form of graphs or diagrams. Avoid displaying raw data. The authors are required to clearly describe the evaluation result of the study in this section. 

The main purpose of the results section is to provide the data from the study so that other researchers can draw their own conclusions and understand fully the basis for the conclusions. A common format for the results section is to present a series of figures and to describe the figures in detail through the text. A good results section presents clear figures with efficient text. The figures should support the assertions in the paper or illustrate the new insights. Where applicable, results should be illustrated in terms of non-dimensional variables.

Discussion

The discussion section is where the article interprets the results to reach its major conclusions. This is also where the author’s opinion enters the picture. The discussion is where the argument is made. Common features of the discussion section include: (1) Provide an accurate assessment of the insights gained from the study. (2) The author needs to compare results with other studies. (3) Effectively contextualize the results within the existing body of knowledge. (4) Acknowledge any limitations or constraints encountered during the research (limitations of study or threats to validity). (5) Offer specific and well-justified recommendations for fellow researchers.

It is important to avoid the following pitfalls: (1) Repetition of results already presented. (2) Introduction of new results that were not previously described in the methods or results sections. (3) Introducing relevant literature that should have been discussed earlier. (4) Overemphasizing the significance of findings, especially in cases where statistical significance was not achieved. (5) Downplaying or neglecting the significance of findings when valuable lessons can be derived. (6) Making overly ambitious or overly cautious suggestions for future research or applications.

7.    Conclusion
This is the final part containing conclusions and advices. The conclusions will be the answers of the hypothesis, the research purposes and the research discoveries. The conclusions should not contain only the repetition of the results and discussions. It should be the summary of the research results as the author expects in the research purposes or the hypothesis. The advices contain suggestions associated with further ideas from the research.

8.    References
All the references that used in the article must be listed in this part. In this part, all the used references must be taken from primary sources (scientific journals and the least number is 80% from all the references) that published in the last ten years. Each article should has at least ten references. References should be numbered and the numbering in order of appearance in the text. When referring to a references in document text, write the references number in square brackets, eg: [1].  All the served data or quotes in the article taken from the other author articles should attach the reference sources. The references should use a reference application management such as Mendeley, End Note, or Zotero. The writing format that used in Journal of Information System and Informatics, Journal-ISI follows the format applied by IEEE standard
