Author Guidelines

 

1. MANUSCRIPT GENERAL GUIDELINES

  • Template: Authors must use the official manuscript template available on the JTI website. Download the template here .
  • Originality: Manuscripts must be original and must not contain plagiarism.
  • Language and Length: Manuscripts must be written in English and contain at least 10 pages.
  • Paper Size and Layout: Use A4 paper (210 × 297 mm), with 2.5 cm margins on all sides. The two-column layout begins on the second page.

  • Font and Spacing: Use Times New Roman font with single-line spacing.
  • File Format: Manuscripts must be submitted in Microsoft Word format, not PDF or other formats.

2. AUTHORSHIP CRITERIA

Jurnal Teknik Informatika (JTI) is committed to transparency, fairness, and accountability in authorship attribution. Authorship must reflect genuine intellectual contributions to the research and manuscript, consistent with the principles outlined in the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Discussion Document on Authorship.

2.1. Eligibility for Authorship

Qualifying contributions may include:

  • Conceptualization: Developing research questions, objectives, hypotheses, theoretical frameworks, or central research ideas.
  • Methodology: Making substantial intellectual contributions to research methods, analytical frameworks, models, or research designs.
  • Investigation and Data Analysis: Contributing substantially to data collection, data curation, statistical analysis, or interpretation of empirical evidence.
  • Interpretation of Findings: Interpreting results and developing theoretical, empirical, or policy implications.
  • Writing and Critical Revision: Drafting the manuscript or critically revising it to improve its intellectual content.

Routine assistance or participation in only one activity does not automatically qualify an individual for authorship. See the COPE Discussion Document on Authorship.

2.2. Responsibilities of Authors

All listed authors are expected to:

  • Make genuine and substantial intellectual contributions to the research or manuscript.
  • Participate in drafting or critically revising the manuscript.
  • Review and approve the final manuscript before submission or publication.
  • Accept responsibility for their contributions and cooperate in addressing concerns about research accuracy, integrity, or reliability.
  • Ensure that all eligible contributors are appropriately credited.
  • Disclose relevant conflicts of interest and provide accurate information about funding, data, methods, and other declarations.
  • Cooperate with the editorial team by providing clarification or supporting documentation when necessary.

2.3. Contributions That Do Not Qualify for Authorship

The following contributions are generally insufficient on their own to establish authorship:

  • Providing funding without a qualifying intellectual contribution.
  • Holding a senior academic, institutional, managerial, or supervisory position.
  • Providing routine administrative assistance or project coordination.
  • Performing routine data entry, transcription, or technical assistance without substantial intellectual involvement.
  • Providing language editing, proofreading, translation, or manuscript formatting without contributing to its intellectual content.
  • Providing general supervision or mentorship without a qualifying scholarly contribution.
  • Offering comments or suggestions that do not substantially develop the manuscript's intellectual content.

Individuals who do not meet the authorship criteria may be acknowledged, with their permission, in the Acknowledgments section.

2.4. Authorship Order

  • The order of authors must be determined by mutual agreement among all authors.
  • Authorship order should reflect the nature and extent of each author's scholarly contributions.
  • Academic rank, institutional seniority, supervisory position, financial contribution, or personal relationships must not solely determine authorship order.
  • Collaborating authors are encouraged to establish authorship arrangements early and review them when contributions change.

2.5. Corresponding Author Responsibilities

The corresponding author serves as the primary contact between the authors and the journal throughout submission, peer review, revision, and publication. Responsibilities include:

  • Ensuring that all authors have reviewed and approved the manuscript.
  • Confirming that all authors agree to the submission and authorship order.
  • Providing accurate author names, affiliations, contact information, and contribution statements.
  • Communicating editorial decisions and revision requests to co-authors.
  • Submitting requested authorship declarations and supporting documents.
  • Informing the editorial office of proposed authorship changes.
  • Facilitating communication among co-authors regarding contribution or research-integrity concerns.

The corresponding author must not add, remove, or rearrange authors without following journal procedures and obtaining the required agreements.

2.6. Author Contributions Statement

All submissions must include an Author Contributions Statement accurately describing each author's contributions. Authors may use the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT), where appropriate.

  • Conceptualization
  • Methodology
  • Formal analysis
  • Investigation
  • Data curation
  • Writing – original draft
  • Writing – review and editing
  • Visualization
  • Supervision
  • Project administration
  • Funding acquisition

Only roles that accurately reflect the work performed should be declared. A contribution label alone does not establish eligibility for authorship.

2.7. Changes in Authorship

  • Requests to add, remove, or rearrange authors after submission must be submitted in writing to the editorial office.
  • The request must include a clear explanation of the proposed change.
  • Written agreement must be obtained from all authors concerned, including individuals being added or removed.
  • The editorial team may request additional documentation and suspend editorial processing while assessing the request.
  • Changes requested after publication will be handled according to the journal's correction policy and applicable publication ethics procedures.

2.8. Guest, Gift, and Ghost Authorship

JTI does not accept guest authorship, gift authorship, or ghost authorship.

  • Guest or Gift Authorship: Listing individuals as authors without qualifying contributions.
  • Ghost Authorship: Failing to acknowledge individuals whose contributions warrant authorship.

All authorship information must accurately reflect actual contributions. Academic position, funding, supervision, or institutional authority cannot substitute for qualifying scholarly contributions.

2.9. Authorship Disputes and Ethical Concerns

  • Authorship disputes should, where possible, be resolved through constructive communication among the individuals involved and their affiliated institutions.
  • The journal may request written explanations, contribution statements, correspondence, or other relevant documentation.
  • Editorial processing may be suspended while a concern is investigated.
  • Unresolved disputes may be referred to the relevant institution or handled through appropriate publication ethics procedures.

2.10. Declaration of Authorship

By submitting a manuscript to JTI, the corresponding author confirms on behalf of all authors that:

  • All listed authors have made genuine contributions consistent with the journal's authorship criteria.
  • All authors have reviewed and approved the final manuscript and agreed to its submission.
  • The authorship order has been agreed upon by all authors.
  • No eligible contributor has been improperly omitted.
  • No individual has been included as an author without a qualifying contribution and agreement.
  • The Author Contributions Statement accurately reflects each author's contribution.
  • All authors agree to cooperate in addressing concerns about the accuracy, integrity, and reliability of the research.

The journal may request additional information or documentation to verify authorship declarations.
