Manuscript Types

Accepted Manuscript Types

INCODING: Journal of Informatics and Computer Science Engineering publishes peer-reviewed scholarly manuscripts in Bahasa Indonesia and English that make original, rigorous, and significant contributions to informatics, computer science, software engineering, and information technology. The journal accepts the following categories of manuscripts:

1. Original Research Articles

Full-length reports of original empirical, experimental, computational, or theoretical research within the journal's scope. Original research articles must clearly state the research problem, research gap, objectives, methodology/algorithmic design, experimental evaluation, results and discussion, and conclusions.

  • Recommended Length: 3,000–6,000 words (approximately 8–15 pages in the official INCODING template, including tables, figures, and references).
  • Structure: Title, Author Information, Abstract (150–200 words), Keywords (3–5 terms), Introduction, Research Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgments (optional), and References (minimum 15–20 current scholarly references formatted in IEEE style).

2. Applied Research and System/Software Engineering Articles

Scholarly papers presenting the novel design, architecture, engineering, implementation, and rigorous evaluation of software systems, information systems, embedded/IoT devices, cybersecurity frameworks, or enterprise IT solutions. Manuscripts in this category must go beyond routine software documentation by demonstrating methodological soundness, system testing/validation metrics, and comparative analysis with existing solutions.

3. Algorithmic and Methodological Articles

Contributions that propose, optimize, or benchmark new computational algorithms, machine learning/deep learning architectures, computer vision pipelines, or data mining methods. Submissions must include clear mathematical/algorithmic formulations, dataset descriptions, evaluation metrics (e.g., accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, computational complexity), and reproducible experimental setups.

4. Review Articles / Systematic Literature Reviews (SLR)

Comprehensive, critical, and state-of-the-art syntheses of recent scientific developments on a specific topic within informatics and computer science. Review articles must follow a structured review methodology (such as PRISMA or Kitchenham's SLR guidelines), identify clear research questions, synthesize findings from recent primary literature (predominantly published within the last 5–10 years), and highlight open research challenges and future directions.

Editorial Eligibility Criteria

All manuscript types undergo initial editorial screening (including Turnitin/Plagiarism Checker X similarity screening with a maximum threshold of 30%) followed by double-anonymous peer review by at least two independent reviewers. Submissions must be prepared using the official INCODING Microsoft Word template and adhere strictly to the IEEE citation style.
