The article writing guideline is here.

2. How to Write the Title, the Name, and the Author’s Address

The title of the manuscript should be written on the top of the first page with the center text alignment. Meanwhile, the author’s name (without academic degree), and the affiliation address of the author, should be written with the center text alignment also under the title of the article. The author should give two line spaces between the title and the author’s name. Then, the space between the author’s affiliation address and the abstract title is one space. The keywords must be written below the overall abstract for all words. Those should be arranged in alphabetical order and be separated by semicolon maximally three to five words. Moreover, the title of the article that is written in Bahasa Indonesia should be also stated in English either (look at the example above).

The responsible author, the correspondence author, or the corresponding author must be written first and then followed by the second, the third, and so on. The communication regarding the article revision and the final statement will be informed via email to the correspondence author only. If there is more than one author, the author’s names should be written down separately by comma (,). If the author’s name consists of at least two words, the first name should not be shorted. If the author’s names are only one word, it should be written as it is. However, in the online version it will be written in two words with the same name repeatedly for the purpose of the metadata indexing.

4. Guidelines for the Manuscript Body Text

Title of the manuscript: The title should be informative and be written both briefly and clearly. It cannot diverse multi interpretations. It has to be pinpoint with the issues that will be discussed. The beginning word is written in a capital case and symmetrically. The article title does not contain any uncommon abbreviation. The main ideas should be written first and followed then by its explanations. The article title should be written within twelve words. Check the use of capital letters. Do not easily use capital letters (including a method’s name) unless necessary (such as people’s names or proper nouns). Check the capitalization rules here.

Affiliation: Complete the affiliations with all their cities and countries. There is no need to provide any student/staff ID number.

Abstract: The abstract must contain 170-200 words that consist of 2-3 sentences about the introduction, problem, solution; 2-3 sentences about contribution; 3-4 sentences about the method; 4-5 sentences about the result; and 2-3 sentences about conclusions.

Keywords: Keywords should be in ascending order and within 3 to 5 keywords.

Introduction: The introduction must contain (shortly and consecutively) a general background and a literature review (state of the art) as the basis of the brand new research question, statements of the brand new scientific article, main research problems, and the hypothesis. In the final part of the introduction, the purpose of the article writing should be stated. In the scientific article format, it does not allow to write down the references as in the research report. They should be represented in the literature review to show the brand new of the scientific article.

The Introduction contains a systematic description of previous studies relevant to the research. This section describes the strengths and limitations of previous research that can be material for the argument that the current work is conducted to refine or develop prior research. This section also contains a theoretical basis, basic concepts and principles required for problem-solving related to the research. The literature review can be in the form of qualitative descriptions, mathematical models, concepts, or tools related to the study. All sources cited in the study must be clearly written in the reference list. The writing format used in IJCIMS follows the format applied by IEEE, while organization and citation of the bibliography are made in sign [1] [2] [3] and so on.

Method: The method is implemented to solve problems, including analytic methods. The methods used in the problem solving of the research are explained in this part. Commonly, there are research flow, research diagrams, system block diagrams, control system block diagrams, hardware wiring diagrams, pseudocode, or flowcharts in the method section. The figure must be clear, detailed, not blurry, easy to read and provide proper information.

Finding and Discussion: This part consists of the research results and how they are discussed. The results obtained from the research have to be supported by sufficient data. The research results and the discovery must be the answers or the research hypothesis stated previously in the introduction part.

Conclusion: This is the final part containing conclusions and advice. The conclusions will be the answers to 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. Please add the advice and future work in the second paragraph. The advice contains suggestions associated with further ideas from the research

References: All the references 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% of all the references) published in the last five years. Each article should have at least fifteen references.
