Author Guidelines

1. General Requirements

Jurnal Ilmiah Teknologi dan Rekayasa accepts original research manuscripts that have not been published and are not under consideration in other journals.

All manuscripts must comply with the requirements specified in this template prior to submission. Manuscripts that do not meet the formatting standards may be rejected at the initial editorial screening stage without further review, except for minor errors that can still be corrected.

Authors are responsible for ensuring the conformity of formatting, structure, and completeness of the manuscript before submission. Compliance with the template constitutes part of the initial evaluation criteria and determines the eligibility of the manuscript to proceed to the review stage.

Non-compliance with the guidelines may delay the editorial process or result in the manuscript being returned to the authors for revision before further consideration. Manuscripts that substantially fail to follow the template will not be processed.

Manuscripts may be written in Indonesian or English using formal academic language. The manuscript must:

Be relevant to the journal’s focus and scope
Clearly state research problems and limitations
Demonstrate novelty and contribution to the field
Follow ethical publication standards
