Author Guidelines
1. Title

The manuscript title must be concise, specific, and informative. The maximum length of the title is 18 words. The title should clearly reflect the topic, method, object, or contribution of the study.

2. Authors

The manuscript may be written by a maximum of 5 authors. All listed authors must have made significant academic contributions to the research, manuscript preparation, data analysis, interpretation, or final approval of the article.

3. Abstract

The abstract must be written in single spacing using 12-point Times New Roman font. It should include the research background, objective, method, key findings, and conclusion. The abstract must consist of 150–300 words.

4. Introduction

The introduction should explain the research background, research problem, research gap, novelty, and objectives. Authors should clarify why the research is important and how it contributes to computer science, intelligent systems, or related fields.

5. Literature Review

The literature review provides the theoretical and empirical foundation of the study. This section should synthesize relevant previous studies, identify research gaps, and explain how the current study is positioned within existing scholarship.

6. Research Method

The research method section must explain the research design, data source, population or sample, instruments, procedures, variables, and analytical techniques. For computational studies, authors should clearly describe datasets, preprocessing, algorithms, model parameters, validation strategies, and evaluation metrics.

7. Results and Discussion

The results and discussion section should present findings clearly and systematically in relation to the research objectives. Authors should interpret findings, compare them with previous studies, explain the novelty or contribution, discuss limitations, and provide implications for theory, practice, or future research.

8. Conclusion

The conclusion should briefly summarize the main findings and explain their significance. It should not merely repeat the abstract. Authors may include practical implications, theoretical contributions, research limitations, and recommendations for future studies.

References and Administrative Control Check
References

References must follow the APA style required by JCSIS. Authors are recommended to include at least 20 references, preferably from recent and reputable sources such as journal articles, conference proceedings, books, standards, official datasets, and other credible scholarly sources.
