Publication Guidelines

1) Manuscript Types

  • Research Article — full original work with clear motivation, sound methods, validated results, and defensible conclusions.
  • Review Article — critical, well‑scoped synthesis of a focused topic with comprehensive, current references.
  • Case Study / Application — practice‑oriented study demonstrating solutions, deployments, or lessons learned.
  • Book Review — reviews of recent books relevant to computing (by invitation or prior approval).
  • Extended Conference Paper — substantially revised/extended versions of peer‑reviewed conference papers (declare provenance and permissions).

2) Submission & Originality

Submissions must be original, in English, and not under review elsewhere. Disclose earlier versions (e.g., theses, preprints, prior‑language publications) and confirm permissions for copyrighted material. If extended from a conference paper, state the event, explain the significant additions, and confirm copyright status/permission.

3) Peer Review

JSUCIT operates double‑blind peer review. Editors may desk‑screen for fit, quality, and novelty before external review. Decisions include accept, minor revision, major revision, or reject. Revised manuscripts are reassessed as needed.

4) Revision & Proofs

Typical deadlines: 60 days for the first revision and 20 days for subsequent rounds. Page proofs are provided for correcting typesetting errors and must be returned promptly (target 14 days).

5) Manuscript Preparation (IEEE)

  • Templates: Use the official IEEE Word/LaTeX templates (Overleaf supported).
  • Structure: Title, Authors, Abstract (≤250 words), Keywords (7–10), Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgments, References.
  • Length: Full papers ≤10 IEEE‑formatted pages, inclusive of all content.
  • Figures/Tables/Equations: Number consistently; ensure legibility and correct placement/citation.
  • Citations: Numeric in‑text citations [1]; reference list in citation order per IEEE style.

6) Ethics, Transparency, and Compliance

JSUCIT adheres to COPE and CSE best practices. Declare conflicts of interest, funding, necessary approvals, and permissions. Data/code availability is encouraged to support reproducibility.

7) Title Page

Include: Title; author names & affiliations (with country); one corresponding author with email; present address notes if applicable.

8) Submission

Submit manuscripts via the JSUCIT online submission system and include a cover letter (article type, contribution, prior dissemination, conflicts/funding, special notes). Editors may adjust the final category upon acceptance.
