Manuscripts may be written in Bahasa Indonesia or English. Authors should use formal academic language, clear technical terminology, and consistent writing style throughout the manuscript.

English manuscripts must be written in clear academic English. Indonesian manuscripts should use standard academic Indonesian and avoid informal expressions. Technical terms, acronyms, and abbreviations should be defined when first used.

A manuscript should be organized in a logical, systematic, and technically clear structure. The recommended structure is as follows:

• The title should be concise, informative, and not overly broad.
• The title should clearly reflect the system, method, algorithm, technology, or problem being studied.
• Author names should be written without academic titles.
• Each author should provide institutional affiliation and email address.
• The corresponding author must be clearly identified for editorial communication.

The abstract should be written in one paragraph and should not exceed 200–250 words. It should summarize the research problem, objective, method, main findings, technical contribution, and conclusion.

The abstract should not include citations, tables, figures, equations, or undefined abbreviations. It must be sufficiently informative so readers can understand the core contribution of the study.

Keywords should consist of three to five terms, such as computer system, software engineering, artificial intelligence, internet of things, embedded system, computer network, cybersecurity, data mining, information system, cloud computing, or machine learning.

The introduction should explain the background of the problem, current technological development, research gap, urgency, novelty, and objectives of the study. Authors should clearly explain why the topic is important in the field of computer systems engineering or information technology.

A strong introduction should be supported by relevant and recent references, especially journal articles, conference papers, technical standards, or reputable academic sources.

The final paragraph of the introduction should state the research objective, research contribution, and, where applicable, the main research question or hypothesis.

The method section should explain how the research, system design, experiment, simulation, or development process was conducted. The explanation should be detailed enough to allow readers to understand, evaluate, and, where possible, replicate the study.

Depending on the type of manuscript, this section may include:

• Research design or system development model;
• System architecture, flowchart, block diagram, or use case design;
• Hardware and software specifications;
• Dataset, data source, or data collection procedure;
• Algorithm, model, framework, protocol, or computational method;
• Testing, validation, simulation, or performance evaluation technique;
• Tools, programming language, platform, and experimental environment.

For software or hardware development studies, authors should clearly explain the development stages and evaluation criteria used to determine system performance or usability.

The results section should present findings clearly and objectively. Results may include system implementation, interface design, algorithm performance, accuracy, response time, throughput, latency, usability testing, simulation results, experimental findings, or comparative evaluation.

The discussion should interpret the results, explain the technical meaning of the findings, compare them with previous studies, identify strengths and limitations, and clarify the contribution of the study to computer systems engineering or related fields.

Authors should avoid simply describing tables and figures. Instead, the discussion should explain what the data mean, why the results matter, and how they contribute to the field.

• Tables and figures must be clear, numbered consecutively, and cited in the text.
• Table titles should be placed above the table, while figure captions should be placed below the figure.
• Diagrams, architecture models, circuit designs, screenshots, and flowcharts must be readable and relevant to the discussion.
• Algorithms should be presented clearly using pseudocode, flowcharts, or structured explanation.
• Source code should be included only when necessary for understanding the study and should be formatted clearly.
• Large datasets, software documentation, or code repositories may be cited or linked where appropriate.

The conclusion should summarize the main findings and technical contribution of the study. It should answer the research objective and highlight the significance of the results.

The conclusion may include limitations of the study, practical implications, and recommendations for future research, system development, or technological improvement.

Authors must cite all sources used in the manuscript accurately and consistently. The reference list should contain only sources cited in the text, and every in-text citation must appear in the reference list.

For technical manuscripts in computer systems engineering, authors are encouraged to use a consistent numbered citation style or the style required by the official journal template. Reference management tools such as Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote are recommended.

Authors must follow ethical standards in scholarly publishing. The manuscript must be free from plagiarism, self-plagiarism, duplicate submission, data fabrication, data falsification, citation manipulation, and inappropriate authorship.

Research involving human participants, user data, institutional data, sensitive information, or security-related systems should respect privacy, consent, confidentiality, and relevant ethical principles.
