Abstract

The abstract must contains: aims of the paper, methods, result, and conclusion within 100-
200 words maximum. Abstract should be written stand-alone, means that no citation in the
abstract, not referring to figure/ table / references. Avoid using uncommon abbreviations.
You must be accurate, brief, clear and specific. Keywords are the labels of your
manuscript and critical to correct indexing and searching. Therefore the keywords should
represent the content and highlight of your article. Keyword should be separated by a
comma (,) within three to five keywords. This file is a template that contains the style
guide in Scientific Journal of Informatics. You can copy and paste the paper into this
format. Abstract is written using 10 pt font size. Abstract written in the form of a single
paragraph (1 paragraph) which includes an introduction, methods and results achieved,
without any reference to the bibliography. Abstracts should describe the research explicitly
by straightforward and clear sentences. Abstract written in English with maximum length
to 200 words. At the end of the abstract is given keyword with a maximum of 5 words /
phrases.

1. INTRODUCTION
The introduction must contain a general background (shortly), a literature review
(state of the art) in order to record the existing method/solutions, to show which is
the best of previous researches and to show the main limitation of the previous
researches. It has be contain with at least 5 literature in order to justify novelty
this paper. The introduction should be clearly contain the gap analysis (why this
research needs to be done? What is the uniqueness of this paper compared to
previous papers?) as the basic of the new research question, statements of the new
scientific article and main research problems (novelty).

Example of novelty statement or the gap analysis statement in the end of

Introduction section (after state of the art of previous research survey): “........
(short summary of background) ....... A few researchers focused on ....... There
have been limited studies concerned on ........ Therefore, this research intends
to ................. The objectives of this research are .........”.

2. METHODS
The method is applied to solve problems including procedures, measuring and
analytical methods. Methods should make the reader able to reproduce your
experiment. Provide enough detail to allow the work to be reproduced. The
published method should be indicated by reference: only relevant modifications
should be explained. Do not repeat details of existing methods, just refer it from
the literature.

2.1. Research Methods

Research methods may include the theories which used in the literature review
which is obtained in the literature and should be accompanied by reference.
Inform briefly about the research methods which used and explain how its stages.

2.2. Mathematical Equations

Mathematical equations are numbered in Arabic numerals, open-close brackets,
and in align right column position.

∞
y (n)= ∑ x ( k ) x(n−k) (1)
k=−∞

The equation is written a bit indented and given corresponding ordinal number.

❑
net =∑ ❑ x i wi +b (2)

2.3. How to Reconciliation and Citations

Refernce in the discussion is marked by literature number which is referenced in
square brackets. Examples: [1], [2, 5–7], or [2–5, 12–13].

3. RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Manuscripts can be presented with the support of tables, graphs or images which
needed to clarify the results of presentation verbally. Results and discussion is
shown clearly and concisely.

Figure and format tables is using center alignment. Each of figures and tables are
given number and description, as well as referred to the writing. Number and
figure title is placed below the image, as shown in Figure 1.

Provisions writing of title figure:
1) The initial letters are capitalized, unless an acronym should be written in
capital letters.
2) The writing of the corresponding provisions must be uppercase, eg name of
province (Central Java), etc.
3) Color figures are made in black and white, in order to be readable when
printed.
4) Figure should not be compressed in order to not chapped.

Number and title of the table is place on the table which concerned and made in
center alignment. In Table 1, shown the following example of writing the number
and title of table. The Table is recommended to not using vertical lines, only
horizontal lines (on the header and footer), as for example shown in Table 1.

4. CONCLUSION
Conclusions should be an answer to the research question. Conclusions written in
one paragraph in essay form, no in numerical form.
