The submission has not been previously published or is under consideration of another journal. The Authors have read and understood Journal Publication Ethics.
Authors are strictly required to utilize the JISEBI template in Microsoft Word format when preparing their manuscripts, as this will significantly streamline the editing process for accepted submissions. To ensure a smooth submission process, authors should download and adhere to the provided template.
Authors should be mindful that their manuscript will be read by an international audience, and therefore, the content should be organized to clearly showcase the novelty and contributions that can be applicable and beneficial to a global community. To enhance the manuscript's global appeal, authors could consider highlighting the potential implications and adoptability of their research for diverse cultural and regional contexts.
When incorporating case studies, ensure they serve as data sources rather than being the primary focus of novelty and contribution. To address this, authors should clearly describe the use of case studies as data sources in the methods section, without drawing attention to them in the title or introduction section.
To ensure clarity and readability, manuscripts must be submitted in error-free English, using standard American English conventions, considering the needs of both the international readership, reviewers, and editors. To enhance the quality of the journal articles, authors are obligated to undergo English editing and proofreading services as per our publishing policies.
The list of authors provided at the time of submission is considered definitive and should not be revised or altered in any way. The author designated as the corresponding author through the OJS system is responsible for submitting and ensuring that all authors' details, including emails and ORCID IDs, are accurately recorded in both the manuscript and the OJS system.
Manuscripts are required to adhere to the IMRaD format, comprising distinct sections for Introduction, Method, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion. While these sections should be segregated, a Literature Review section can be included before the Method section if deemed necessary to provide context and background information.
The manuscript title should be brief, easy to understand, and directly indicative of the content and original contributions presented in the manuscript. To ensure clarity, the title should refrain from using abbreviations or acronyms unless they are universally recognized and standard in the field.
The abstract must be concise, falling within a 150-300 word limit, and is structured to include Background, Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusion sections. To effectively summarize the manuscript, it is also required that the abstract contains between 4 to 6 keywords, all of which must be included and reflect the content, contribution, or purpose of the text, using a combination of relevant categories or research subjects without incorporating adjectives as keywords.
The introduction should provide a clear explanation of the research context and its significance, staying focused on the scope outlined by the title. To highlight the research gap, authors should dedicate a separate paragraph to discussing previous studies and their limitations, thereby explaining how this study aims to address these shortcomings. This research gap should be supported by citations from a substantial number of recent papers closely related to the manuscript's title, further illustrating the gap. Moreover, the research objectives and contributions of the manuscript must be explicitly stated.
The Related Works or Literature Review section is optional but can be necessary if the introduction does not sufficiently cover previous research. This section becomes mandatory for literature reviews, requiring authors to incorporate secondary studies, thereby providing a more comprehensive exploration of the research topic than what is presented in the introduction.
The method section should include citations to any sources that contributed to method selection. It must clearly explain the data collection process. To enhance clarity, authors should ensure the procedure is written chronologically. Additionally, authors should describe the methods for measuring, testing, and evaluating results, using evaluation procedures, metrics, or equations to support their explanation.
The results section should present the findings in a logical sequence, following the research flow. Research outcomes can be displayed through narrative, tables, or visual aids such as graphs and diagrams, with a focus on interpreting the data rather than showing raw data. To enhance clarity, authors must clearly describe the evaluation results of the study in this section.
In a systematic literature review, the results section should be organized based on each research question proposed, allowing for a clear and structured presentation of the findings. Authors should also use a structured format, such as a summary table, to facilitate comparison across studies.
In the discussion section, authors should compare their results with those of other studies, providing an in-depth analysis and explanation of the findings. This comparison can be effectively presented using tables and detailed explanations. Additionally, authors should discuss the limitations of the study and potential threats to validity in this section.
In the conclusion section, authors should explicitly state the manuscript's contributions based on the results, clearly demonstrating how the findings answer the research questions, and summarize the main implications of the study's findings. To ensure clarity, the conclusion should be concise and to the point.
The authors must provide a clear declaration of their contributions using the CRediT taxonomy, as well as disclose any funding or contract numbers. Additionally, authors should include any acknowledgements, confirm whether informed consent and institutional review board statements were obtained, declare potential conflicts of interest, and provide their ORCID.
The reviewer requires authors to use automatic citation tools like Mendeley and follow the IEEE citation style, while also ensuring the accuracy of citation metadata.
The manuscript needs to meet a rigorous citation requirement, with at least 20 references, of which 80% must be from recent journal articles or conferences published within the last ten years from reputable sources. To address this, authors should conduct a thorough literature search in accredited databases such as ScienceDirect and Scopus to ensure they meet the required citation standards.
The manuscript should be written in a narrative format without using bullet points or numbering, and authors can achieve this by rewriting the content in paragraph form or using headings with a limited hierarchy of up to three levels. To address this, authors should reorganize their content to clearly convey information through proper headings and paragraphs.
The manuscript requires that acronyms, abbreviations, and initialisms be defined at their first occurrence in each of the abstract, main text, and at the first appearance in tables or pictures, with the definition including the written form in parentheses. To address this, authors should ensure that all acronyms are clearly defined upon their initial mention in the manuscript.
The figures, graphics, and tables in the manuscript should be designed to be understandable on their own, without requiring reference to the surrounding text, while also being mentioned in the manuscript. To address this, authors should prepare tables and equations in editable formats to ensure that the editor can modify them as needed.
The manuscript should effectively convey information through a limited use of figures and tables, with authors carefully considering whether each inclusion is necessary for the clear understanding of the content. To address this, authors should strategically select and justify the inclusion of each figure and table to avoid unnecessary duplication and ensure a clear narrative flow.
The manuscript requires that all figures and graphics be submitted in high resolution, with a minimum dpi of 600, and ideally be presented as vector images or Microsoft objects to ensure clarity. Additionally, authors should verify the copyright status of all images used in the figures to prevent any potential issues or violations.
The length of the manuscript is suggested to be between 8 and 12 pages. To effectively present the manuscript, the authors are advised to follow this recommendation. The allowed number of pages is a maximum of 14 pages for research papers and a maximum of 18 pages for review papers.
Authors are expected to create original content for the manuscript, rather than relying on artificial intelligence tools to generate text or other materials. To address this, authors should ensure that all content, including text, data, and figures, is entirely original and not created using AI-generated tools.
