Scope

Jurnal Ilmu Komputer dan Agri-Informatika (JIKA) publishes every May and November.  JIKA only accepts original research articles. Review papers, policy briefs, and other types of manuscripts are not considered for publication. The journal publishes scientific articles covering a wide range of topics in Computer Science and the application of informatics in agriculture (Agri-Informatics), as well as other relevant issues.

We invite researchers to submit original manuscripts (not previously published) reporting research results. Manuscripts are accepted in Indonesian or English. Manuscripts will be evaluated by peer reviewers. JIKA applies the single-blind peer review.

Abstract. The abstract is written in one paragraph and is no longer than 200 words. It provides a complete summary of the whole manuscript without giving detailed descriptions of each section. The abstract begins with a description of the research background in 2–3 sentences, followed by the methods and the main findings that directly address the research problem. Avoid the use of abbreviations.

Keywords. Keywords consist of a maximum of six words, arranged alphabetically.

Introduction. This section presents the background that explains why the research was conducted. Describe previous studies related to the research to be carried out. Provide the references used as the framework underlying the research activities. End the introduction with the research objectives.

Methods. This section contains the scope of the research (if any), followed by the methods to be used. The methods should include the information that allows readers to replicate the study, for example the materials, tools, and research steps. Commonly used methods (such as the waterfall or object-oriented software development methods) do not need to be described in detail. Methods that are uncommon or new should be described fully.

Results and Discussion. Present the research results obtained based on the methods used. The results may be supported by data in tables or figures. Present the results in a scholarly manner. Reference sources may be used in the discussion.

Conclusions. Conclusions are written concisely and may include the implications of the results obtained.

Acknowledgments. This section is used to state the sources of research funding and to recognize institutions or individuals who directly assisted in carrying out the research or writing the manuscript.

References. This section lists the sources cited in the manuscript.

Writing the References

References follow the author–year system (Harvard), with authors' names arranged alphabetically. Follow the formats shown in the examples below. At least 80% of the cited references must be publications from the last five years.

Presentation of Figures and Tables

Use figures and tables with a maximum width of 16 cm. Their numbers, titles, and notes are written in Times New Roman 9 pt. Figure and table titles must be complete and consistent with the content of the figure or table. Leave a space of two characters between the number and the title of a figure or table, and a distance of 3 pt between the title and the table or figure. The content of figures and tables need not be repeated in the text. Figures in the form of graphs are submitted as Excel files together with their raw data. Photographs and other images are submitted in PNG or SVG format with a resolution of at least 300 dpi.

If a column contains text, the text is typed left-aligned with single line spacing. If a column contains only numbers, they are right-aligned. Decimal numbers are indicated with a period (example: 12.34). Use the same number of decimal places throughout.
