Journal Computer and Technology accepts manuscripts prepared using either the official Microsoft Word template or the LaTeX format. Authors may choose the format that best suits their workflow. However, the journal recommends LaTeX because the final editorial layout and typesetting process are conducted using LaTeX.

Authors should use the journal's template from the beginning of manuscript preparation and follow the structure, formatting, and technical requirements described in the template. The submitted manuscript must be complete, consistent, and ready for editorial assessment.

The article title must be written in title case, contain no more than 15 words, and clearly represent the research topic and contribution. In the Word template, the title is formatted in Times New Roman, 14 pt, bold, and centered.

List all authors using their full names. Author names are formatted in Times New Roman, 10 pt, bold, and centered. Mark the corresponding author with an asterisk (*). Provide each author's department, faculty, institution, city, and country, followed by the authors' email addresses. Affiliation and email information should use Times New Roman, 9 pt.

The abstract must be written in English and contain no more than 250 words. It should concisely describe the research background, problem, objectives, methods, principal results, and conclusions. Use a single-column format, single line spacing (1.0), and Times New Roman, 10 pt. Do not include citations, references, figures, or tables in the abstract.

Provide a maximum of five keywords or phrases that represent the manuscript's content. Keywords should be written in lowercase except for abbreviations and proper nouns, arranged alphabetically, and separated by semicolons (;). Use Times New Roman, 10 pt.

The manuscript should generally follow this order: Introduction; Research Methods; Results and Discussion; Conclusion; Acknowledgments (optional); Declarations; and References. Use the section titles and order provided in the journal template.

The main manuscript text should use Times New Roman, 10 pt, single-column layout, single line spacing (1.0), and justified alignment. Main section headings must be uppercase and bold.

The Introduction should establish the research context and significance, explain the problem, review relevant previous studies, identify the research gap, present the state of the art, explain the novelty and contribution, and state the research objectives or questions.

The discussion should move logically from the broad research context to the specific problem. Avoid lengthy textbook-style definitions, unrelated theory, and excessive literature summaries. The Introduction generally accounts for approximately 10–20% of the manuscript.

Citations must follow IEEE style and appear in sequential numerical order according to their first occurrence, for example [1], [2]–[5]. Authors are encouraged to close the Introduction with a concise statement of the research objectives, novelty, contribution, and (optionally) the organization of the paper.

A recommended flow is: research background and problem context; related work; research gap and limitations; state of the art; novelty and contribution; and research objectives.

Describe the procedures, techniques, models, algorithms, experimental design, datasets, and analytical approaches used to address the research problem. Provide sufficient detail for readers to understand, reproduce, or validate the study. This section generally accounts for approximately 20–30% of the manuscript.

Depending on the study, include the research design or framework; dataset and data collection; proposed method or algorithm; system architecture or model design; evaluation metrics; and experimental setup. Explain relevant preprocessing, parameters, equations, software and library versions, hardware, training configurations, and validation procedures.

Use a clear hierarchical numbering system for subsections, such as 2.1. Dataset, 2.2. Proposed Method, and 2.3. Experimental Setup. If needed, use lettered or numbered sub-subsections consistently. Subsection headings should be bold and use Times New Roman, 10 pt.

Present the research findings, experimental results, observations, and testing outcomes, followed by critical interpretation. This section generally accounts for approximately 40–60% of the manuscript and should be the most substantial section.

Include relevant experimental results; analysis and interpretation; comparison with previous studies or baseline methods, where applicable; strengths and limitations; and practical or scientific implications. Tables, figures, graphs, confusion matrices, and performance metrics may be used when they help communicate the findings.

Do not merely repeat numerical results. Explain what the findings mean, how they relate to the research objectives, and how they compare with existing work. Subsections may use hierarchical numbering, for example 3.1. Performance Evaluation and 3.2. Comparative Analysis.

All tables and figures must be clear, legible, and of sufficient resolution. Place them at the top or bottom of a column where possible and center them within the column. Avoid placing them in the middle of a paragraph. Every table and figure must be explicitly cited in the manuscript and accompanied by an explanatory discussion of at least one paragraph.

Provide concise, informative table titles and figure captions. Ensure that labels, legends, symbols, and text inside figures remain readable. Equations should be created in an editable mathematical format where possible, numbered consecutively, and explained in the surrounding text. Define all symbols and variables used.

The Conclusion should synthesize the main findings, explain how the research objectives were achieved, and highlight the scientific or practical contribution. Limitations and future research directions may be included where relevant.

Write the Conclusion in paragraph form, not as bullet points or numbered lists. Do not use subsections in the Conclusion. Avoid repeating the abstract or extensively restating the Introduction, and do not introduce new data, figures, tables, citations, or arguments that have not been discussed in the manuscript.

Acknowledgments are optional and should be used to recognize funding sources and research objects, as specified in the journal template.

The Declarations section must include the applicable statements below. Select the statement that accurately reflects the study and remove unused alternatives and all explanatory text in square brackets before submission.

Author Contributions

Identify each author's contributions using the CRediT-style roles or the contribution format provided in the template. For a single-author article, use the single-author declaration provided in the template.

Funding

State that no financial support was received, or identify the funding agency and grant number.

Conflicts of Interest

Declare the absence of competing interests or disclose any relevant financial or personal relationships.

Data Availability

State where the datasets and source code are available, whether they are included in the article or supplementary files, or whether access is available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.

AI Use Statement

Declare the AI tools used and their purpose, including language editing, software development, or data analysis, as applicable. If no AI tools were used, include the required no-use declaration. Authors remain responsible for verifying AI-assisted content.

Additional Information

State whether additional information is available or whether supplementary material accompanies the article.

All in-text citations and references must follow the IEEE referencing style. References must be numbered in the order in which they are first cited in the manuscript. Every item in the reference list must be cited in the text, and every cited source must appear in the reference list.

Each manuscript must contain a minimum of 30 references. Authors are strongly encouraged to prioritize high-quality, peer-reviewed articles published in reputable scholarly journals indexed in Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), or other recognized international indexing databases. Recent publications, preferably from the last six years, should form the majority of the references, except where older foundational works are necessary. Journal articles and relevant peer-reviewed conference papers should be prioritized. Textbooks, theses, dissertations, and research reports should be used sparingly and should not exceed 20% of the total references. Authors must ensure that every reference is relevant, accurate, and actually cited in the manuscript.

Authors are encouraged to use reference-management software such as Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote to maintain accuracy and consistency. Check author names, article titles, journal or conference names, volume, issue, page range, year, and DOI or URL where applicable.

The Article History information (Received, Revised, and Published dates) and the How to Cite section are completed by the editorial team. Authors should not fill in or alter these editorial fields unless specifically instructed by the editor.
