- Submission Process

All submissions must be made through the JoAE Online Submission System. Authors must register and log in as an author to begin the five-step submission process. If technical issues arise, contact the Editorial Team at JoAE@its.ac.id.

- How to submit your article:

For a new user, please create an account.

2. Prepare your manuscript. Guidelines on how to prepare your manuscript can be read in the template document.
Before entering the peer-review process, all submitted manuscripts will undergo an initial assessment by the editorial team to ensure compliance with the journal’s basic requirements:

1 Originality

Manuscripts must be original, previously unpublished, and not under review elsewhere.

2 Similarity Check

A plagiarism screening using Turnitin will be conducted. Manuscripts must show a similarity index not exceeding 15%.

3 Scope Compliance

Submissions must align with the aims and scope of JoAE.

4 AI Tools and Authorship

Tools such as ChatGPT or other large language models (LLMs) do not meet authorship criteria and therefore cannot be listed as authors. While AI tools may assist in the writing process, they are not capable of taking responsibility for the content they generate.

Authors are fully responsible for the originality, validity, and integrity of their manuscripts, including any parts generated or assisted by AI tools. In line with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines, any use of AI technology must be transparently disclosed:

• In the Acknowledgements section, authors must state which AI tools were used.
• In the Materials and Methods section, authors must explain how these tools were used in the research or writing process.
• Authors remain fully accountable for any breaches of publication ethics, regardless of AI involvement.

5 Language and Grammar

Manuscripts submitted to JoAE must be written in clear, academic English. Authors whose first language is not English are strongly encouraged to have their manuscripts reviewed by a professional or grammar-checking application prior to submission.

6 Template Adherence

Submissions must be in Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx), A4 size with a minimum of 4,000 words, and must fully adhere to the official JoAE article template, available on the journal website. Submissions that do not meet these criteria will be returned to the author without external review.
