Structured Abstract
Authors must supply a structured abstract in their submission, which includes:
- Purpose/Introduction
- Design/methods/approach
- Findings/results
- Conclusions
A maximum of 250 words in total, excluding keywords. It has to be in English regardless of the article's content's languages.
Keywords
The authors should provide appropriate, short keywords that encapsulate the paper's principal topics. The maximum number of keywords is 5 (five) words.
Article Organization
The body of articles should be organized (at least) into the IMRaD structure as follows;
- The introduction Section provides adequate background or context (problem and its significance) for the study. The subject should not be written extensively. It is expected that the rationale or purpose of the study (gap analysis), the objective in general and specific, and the hypothesis (if any) should be expressed clearly. Present a clear "state of the art" of the subject, which discusses literature and theoretical concepts behind it. A concise general background may be included in the article. Present at least 5 (five) recent related works to support the novelty of the research.
- Methods Section provides sufficient details to allow the work to be reproduced by an independent researcher. Methods already published should be summarized and indicated by a reference. If quoting directly from a previously published method, use quotation marks and cite the source. Any modifications to existing methods should also be described. Indicate the participants observed, including demographic data, number of respondents, the rationale of respondent's selection, etc. Describe the design of the experiment, such as the experiment procedures, surveys, interviews, observation characteristics, etc. Write the complete research procedure. Be sure that explanations made in the article will allow other researchers to reproduce the work or make future work out of it.
- Results and discussions. Write results in a logical sequence. Results with important findings should be presented first. When presenting results in a table or figure, do not repeat all those contents in the text. Present only the summary of the text. Describe only new and important aspects of the study. Do not repeat all information from the results section or any section above. Present limitations of the study. Write the issues that are new or unsolved for future research. This section consists of What/How the presented data were produced; no raw data should be present in the article. The produced data are presented in tables or figures with an explanation of the results/findings from the work. The section must also address connections between findings and basic concepts or hypotheses made earlier. The authors should also express whether any arguments relating to other works by other researchers were needed. Write the implications of the work related to theoretical or applications.
- Conclusions Section. The conclusion should be linked to the title and objectives of the study. Do not make statements that are not adequately supported by your findings. Write the improvements made to the industrial engineering field or science in general. Do not make further discussions, repeat the abstract, or only list the results of research results. Do not use bulleted points; use paragraphed sentences instead.
Biographies and Acknowledgments
Those who contribute but do not meet all criteria for authorship should not be listed as authors but should be acknowledged at the end of the text. Only the names of the persons, but not their roles, should be written under the acknowledgement section. Authors must declare all sources of external research funding in their article, and a statement to this effect should appear in the Acknowledgements section.
Authors who wish to include these items should save them in the MS Word file to be uploaded with the submission. A brief professional biography of 100 words maximum should be supplied for each named author if they are to be included.
Article Categories
Authors must categorize their paper as part of the article information. The category most closely describes their paper should be selected from the list below.
- Research paper. This category covers papers that report on any research the authors undertake. The research may involve the construction or testing of a model or framework, action research, data testing, market research or surveys, or empirical, scientific, or laboratory research.
- Technical paper. Describes and evaluates technical products, processes, or services.
- Conceptual paper. These papers will not be based on research but will develop hypotheses. The papers will likely be discursive and will cover philosophical discussions and comparative studies of others' work and thinking.
- Case study reports describe actual interventions or experiences within organizations. They may well be subjective and will not generally report on research. A description of a legal case or a hypothetical case study used as a teaching exercise would also fit into this category.
Headings
Headings must be concise, clearly indicating the distinction between the hierarchy of headings. The format is provided in the article's template.
Notes/Endnotes
Notes or Endnotes should be used only if absolutely necessary. They must be identified in the text by consecutive numbers, enclosed in square brackets and listed at the end of the article.
Figures
All Figures (charts, diagrams, line drawings, web pages/screenshots, and photographic images) should be submitted electronically. All Figures should be high quality, legible and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Graphics may be supplied in colour to facilitate their appearance on the online database. Figures created in MS Word, MS PowerPoint, and MS Excel should be supplied in native formats. Electronic figures created in other applications should be copied from the origination software and pasted into an MS Word template document. Photographic images should be inserted in the article's main body and of high quality.
Tables
Tables should be typed and included in the main body of the article. The position of tables should be inserted in the text as close to the point of reference as possible. Ensure that any superscripts or asterisks are shown next to the relevant items and that corresponding explanations are displayed as footnotes to the table, figure, or plate.
References
JIST prefers articles that refer mainly to journal articles, research reports, and conference proceedings rather than rely heavily on textbooks or handbooks to demonstrate articles' novelty in the subject discussed. The use of Mendeley as a tool in referencing is preferable and encouraged. References should be carefully checked for completeness, accuracy, and consistency.
Author(s) should cite publications in the text following the IEEE citation style. At the end of the paper, a reference list in alphabetical order should be supplied as follows:
