Submissions

Author Guidelines

The authors must refer to the Media Journal of General Computer Science (MJGCS) for writing format and style (Please download and use as a template for an initial manuscript submission). Any papers not fulfilling the requirements based on the guideline of authors will not be processed.

You can use this list to carry out a final check of your submission before you send it to the journal for review. Please check the relevant section in this Guide for Authors for more details.

1. Is your manuscript adhere to the minimum standards? (written in Indonesia or English; the length of submitted paper is at least 6 pages and no more than 20 pages; use of a tool such as EndNote, Mendeley, or Zotero  for reference management and formatting, and choose IEEE style) 
2. Is your manuscript written in MASE format?  At this stage, it is essential that you follow every detail of the MASE format. Please try to follow the format as closely as possible.
3. is your title adequate and is your abstract correctly written? The title of the paper is maxed 14 words, without Acronym or abbreviation. The Abstract (MAX 200 WORDS) should be informative and completely self-explanatory (no citation in the abstract), provide a clear statement of the problem, the proposed approach or solution, and point out major findings and conclusions.
4. Authors are suggested to present their articles in the structure IMRAD of the section: Introduction - The Proposed Method/Algorithm/Procedure specifically designed (optional) - Research Method - Results and Discussion – Conclusion.  Introduction section: explain the context of the study and state the precise objective. An Introduction should contain the following three parts:
   - Background: Authors have to make clear what the context is. Ideally, authors should give an idea of the state-of-the-art field the report is about.
   - The Problem: If there was no problem, there would be no reason for writing a manuscript, and definitely no reason for reading it. So, please tell readers why they should proceed with reading. Experience shows that for this part a few lines are often sufficient.
   - The Proposed Solution: Now and only now! - authors may outline the contribution of the manuscript. Here authors have to make sure readers point out what are the novel aspects of authors' work.
5. Method section: the presentation of the experimental methods should be clear and complete in every detail facilitating reproducibility by other scientists.
6. Results and discussion section: The presentation of results should be simple and straightforward in style. This section reports the most important findings, including results of statistical analyses as appropriate and comparisons to other research results. Results given in figures should not be repeated in tables. This is where the author(s) should explain in words what he/she/they discovered in the research. It should be clearly laid out and in a logical sequence. This section should be supported suitable references.
7. Conclusion section: Summarize sentences the primary outcomes of the study in a paragraph. Are the claims in this section supported by the results, do they seem reasonable? Have the authors indicated how the results relate to expectations and to earlier research? Does the article support or contradict previous theories? Does the conclusion explain how the research has moved the body of scientific knowledge forward?
8. Please be sure that the manuscript is up to date. It is expected that 10 to 20%  of references are from recent papers. 
9. Do you have enough references? We will usually expect a minimum of 20 references primarily to journal papers, depending on the length of the paper, the reference language in the Indonesian or English language. Citations of textbooks should be used very rarely and citations to web pages should be avoided. All cited papers should be referenced within the text of the manuscript.
10. Figures and Tables. Relation of Tables or Figures and Text: Because tables and figures supplement the text, all tables and figures should be referenced in the text. Focus only on the important point the reader should draw from them, and leave the details for the reader to examine on her own.
    
    Figures:
    a.    All figures appearing in the article must be numbered in the order that they appear in the text.
    b.    Each figure must have a caption fully explaining the content
    c.    Figure captions are presented as a paragraph starting with the figure number i.e. Fig 1, Fig 2, etc.
    d.    Figure captions appear below the figure
    e.    Each figure must be fully cited if taken from another article
    f.    all figures must be referred to in the body of the article
    
    Tables:
    a.    Material that is tabular in nature must appear in a numbered captioned table.
    b.    All tables appearing in the article must be numbered in the order that they appear in the text.
    c.    Each table must have a caption fully explaining the content with the table number i.e. Table 1, Table 2, etc.
    d.    Each column must have a clear and concise heading
    e.    Tables are to be presented with a single horizontal line under the table caption, the column headings, and at the end of the table.
    f.    All tables must be referred to in the body of the article
    g.    Each table must be fully cited if taken from another article
11. Each citation should be written in the order of appearance in the text. Citations and references must sequential. First citation in text is [1] and continued by [2], [3], [4], ...
