JITUH (Journal of Information Technology and Internet of Things) accepts manuscripts written in Indonesian or English that are relevant to the journal’s focus and scope. Manuscripts must be original, have not been previously published, and must not be under consideration by another journal or conference proceeding.

JITUH accepts the following types of manuscripts:

1. Research Articles

2. Review Articles

3. Case Studies

4. Applied Technology and Innovation Articles

Manuscripts outside the focus and scope of JITUH may be rejected during the initial editorial screening.

2. Manuscript Format

Manuscripts must meet the following requirements:

• Prepared using Microsoft Word in .doc or .docx format;

• Written according to the formatting and writing style provided in the official JITUH template;

• Maximum 10 pages, including tables, figures, and references;

• Written in clear and grammatically correct Indonesian or English; 

Authors are required to use the official JITUH manuscript template. Manuscripts that do not follow the template may be returned to the authors for correction before entering the review process.

The JITUH manuscript template can be downloaded from the Template Journal menu on the journal website.

3. Title and Author Information

The title must be concise, informative, specific, and accurately represent the content of the manuscript. Uncommon abbreviations should be avoided in the title.

The manuscript must include:

• Full names of all authors without academic titles;

• Institutional affiliation of each author;

• Email address;

• Identification of the corresponding author; and

• ORCID, if available.

All authors must also be entered completely in the OJS submission metadata.

4. Abstract and Keywords

Abstracts must be provided in both Indonesian and English. Each abstract must contain between 150 and 250 words and briefly describe the background or research problem, the objective, the method, the main results and the conclusion.

The abstract must be written as a single paragraph and must not contain tables, figures, equations, citations, or references.

Each abstract must be followed by a maximum of five keywords or key phrases representing the main topics of the manuscript.

5. Manuscript Structure

The manuscript should generally follow this structure:

1. Introduction
   Presents the background, research problem, relevant previous studies, research gap, objective, and scientific contribution or novelty.

2. Methods
   Describes the research design, data or research objects, data collection techniques, materials or equipment, research procedures, and data analysis methods in sufficient detail.

3. Results and Discussion
   Presents the research findings systematically and discusses them in relation to the research objectives, relevant theories, and previous studies. Tables and figures should only be used when they improve the explanation of the results.

4. Conclusion
   Provides a concise response to the research objective and summarizes the main findings. Recommendations or directions for future research may be included where relevant.

5. Acknowledgments — optional
   May be used to acknowledge individuals or institutions that supported the research.

6. References
   Lists all sources cited in the manuscript.

The structure of review articles, case studies, and applied technology and innovation articles may be adjusted according to the characteristics of the manuscript. However, these manuscripts must still include a clear method or procedure, systematic discussion, and conclusion.

6. Tables, Figures, and Equations

• Tables and figures must be numbered consecutively according to their appearance in the manuscript;

• Every table and figure must be referred to and explained in the text;

• Table titles must be placed above the tables;

• Figure captions must be placed below the figures;

• Figures must have adequate quality and resolution;

• Tables must be editable and must not be submitted as images;

• Sources must be provided for tables or figures obtained from other parties;

• Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to use copyrighted material; and

• Equations should be prepared using an equation editor and numbered when referred to in the text.

7. Citations and References

JITUH uses the IEEE citation style. Authors are encouraged to use reference management software such as Mendeley or Zotero to ensure consistency.

In-text citations must be numbered in square brackets according to the order in which the sources first appear:

• Single source: [1]

• Multiple sources: [2], [3]

• Range of sources: [4]–[6]

References must be listed in the order in which they appear in the manuscript, not alphabetically.

References must be relevant, reliable, and preferably derived from current primary scientific sources. Every reference listed must be cited in the manuscript, and every citation must appear in the reference list. DOI information must be included when available.

8. Originality and Similarity Screening

The submitted manuscript must be an original work, must not have been previously published, and must not be under consideration by another publisher.

All manuscripts will be screened using similarity-detection software. The maximum permitted similarity score is 20%, excluding the reference list. The similarity score will not be used as the sole basis for evaluation. The editor will also assess the form, sources, and context of any identified similarities.

Manuscripts involving plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, duplicate publication, or other forms of publication misconduct may be rejected.

The corresponding author must sign the Author Declaration Form on behalf of all authors, confirming that all authors are aware of, have approved, and accept responsibility for the manuscript submission.

9. Manuscript Submission

Manuscripts must be submitted online through:

https://journal.itsnuka.ac.id/index.php/JITUH/about/submissions

Authors must register or log in to the OJS platform before submitting a manuscript. During submission, authors must:

• Upload the manuscript in Microsoft Word format;

• Complete the article metadata;

• Enter the names, affiliations, and email addresses of all authors;

• Identify the corresponding author;

• Upload the signed Author Declaration Form; and

• Ensure that the manuscript follows the JITUH template and author guidelines.

10. Peer Review Process

JITUH applies a single-blind peer-review process. Reviewers can see the authors’ identities, while the reviewers’ identities are not disclosed to the authors.

Each manuscript that passes the initial editorial screening will be evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise. Editorial decisions may include:

• Accepted;

• Accepted with minor revisions;

• Accepted with major revisions; or

• Rejected.

The final decision remains with the editor and is made by considering the reviewers’ recommendations, scientific quality, originality, and relevance to the journal’s focus and scope.

11. Publication Fees

JITUH does not charge submission, article processing, or publication fees. All stages of manuscript submission, peer review, editing, and publication are free of charge.

Authors may optionally order a printed copy of the journal for IDR 100,000 per copy, excluding shipping costs. Ordering a printed copy does not influence the peer-review process or editorial decision.

12. Publication Schedule

JITUH is published twice a year, in June and December.
