Journal of Engineering and Applied Technology (JEATech) publishes original research articles and review articles on engineering and applied technology. These guidelines take you through the three stages of publishing with us: before submission, submission, and after submission. Please read them together with the JEATech Manuscript Template, which contains guidance in every section. Manuscripts that do not follow the template will be returned to the authors without review.

Part A. Before Submission

1. Check the scope and article type

JEATech covers electrical and electronic engineering, informatics and computer science, mechanical and automotive engineering, civil and construction engineering, industrial engineering, and applied technology, including technology for vocational and engineering education.

2. Use the template correctly

• Download the latest JEATech Manuscript Template (.docx) from the journal website and type or paste your text directly into it.
• Apply the built-in styles (Title, Heading 1–3, Normal, Figure caption, Table head, References). Do not change margins, page size, column settings, or fonts, and do not add page numbers.
• Headings are numbered automatically; do not type heading numbers yourself. Use no more than three heading levels.
• Replace all guidance text in the template with your own content before submission.

3. Language, units, and equations

• Write in clear academic English with British spelling (e.g., organise, analyse, colour, centre, metre, modelling). Have the manuscript proofread by a fluent speaker or a professional editor.
• Use the past tense for methods and results, and the present tense for established facts.
• Define every abbreviation at its first use in the text, even if it is defined in the abstract. Avoid abbreviations in the title and headings.
• Use SI units. Leave a space between a number and its unit (5 kW, 220 V, 25 °C), except for % and angle degrees. Use a decimal point, not a comma (0.25, not 0,25).
• Type equations with the Microsoft Word Equation Editor, not as images. Number them consecutively, flush right, as (1), (2). Variables are italic, vectors bold, and functions and units upright. Define every symbol.
• “Data” is plural (“the data were”).

4. Manuscript structure

5. End-matter statements

Place the following statements after the Acknowledgement. They are required for every article.

• Author Contributions, using CRediT roles, e.g., “A.B.: conceptualisation, methodology, writing – original draft; C.D.: software, validation; E.F.: supervision, writing – review and editing.”
• Funding: the funder’s name and grant number, or “This research received no external funding.”
• Conflict of Interest, e.g., “The authors declare no conflict of interest.”
• Data Availability: where the data, code, or design files can be accessed (e.g., GitHub, Zenodo, Mendeley Data), or why they cannot be shared.
• Declaration of Generative AI Use, if any: the tool, its version, and its purpose (see the Generative AI Policy).

6. References, figures, and tables

• Use the IEEE numbered style. Cite sources in square brackets in order of first appearance: [1], [2], [1]–[3], [2], [5]. Do not use author–year citations. List references in numerical order, not alphabetically.
• Include at least 20 references, at least 80% from primary sources (journal articles and conference proceedings) published in the last 10 years. Give the DOI for every reference that has one. Avoid Wikipedia, blogs, and unpublished lecture notes. Keep self-citation below 20%.
• Every cited source must appear in the reference list, and every listed reference must be cited. Use a reference manager (Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote) with the IEEE style.
• Table titles go above tables; figure captions go below figures. Cite each one in the text before it appears (“Fig. 1”, “Table 1”). Use horizontal lines only in tables.
• Figures must be original, sharp (at least 300 dpi), and readable in greyscale. Create graphs in editable form rather than as screenshots, and label axes with the quantity and unit, e.g., “Temperature (°C)”. Material from other sources needs a citation and permission.

7. Prepare files for double-anonymous review

1. Anonymised manuscript (.docx): remove author names, affiliations, emails, acknowledgements, funding details, and author contributions. Refer to your own earlier work in the third person (“Rahman et al. [4] showed…”). Remove identifying information from the file properties.
2. Title page (.docx): title, all authors with affiliations, emails, and ORCID iDs, the corresponding author, and all end-matter statements.
3. Supplementary files (optional): datasets, source code, design files, high-resolution figures, or a video of the prototype, uploaded separately and anonymised where needed.

8. Ethics and originality

• The manuscript must be original, not published, and not under review elsewhere.
• Check the similarity before submission: at most 20% overall and at most 1% from any single source (excluding the reference list). See the Plagiarism Policy.
• Studies involving human participants (e.g., usability tests or surveys) require informed consent and, where applicable, ethical approval.
• All authors must meet the authorship criteria and approve the final version (see the Authorship Policy).

9. Pre-submission checklist

1. The manuscript uses the latest JEATech template, and all guidance text has been replaced.
2. The text is 4,000–7,000 words (review articles 5,000–8,000), in English with British spelling.
3. The abstract is 150–250 words with quantitative results; there are 3–5 keywords.
4. The Introduction states the research gap and novelty explicitly.
5. The Method can be replicated (equipment, specifications, standards, software, and metrics are given).
6. The results are compared quantitatively with previous studies.
7. Equations are typed with the Equation Editor and numbered; SI units are used throughout.
8. Figures are at least 300 dpi, cited in the text, and correctly captioned; tables have titles above them.
9. There are at least 20 IEEE references, at least 80% from the last 10 years, with DOIs, and all are cited in the text.
10. Similarity is ≤20% overall and ≤1% per source.
11. The manuscript is anonymised; a separate title page contains author details and end-matter statements.
12. All authors have ORCID iDs and have approved the submission.

Part B. Submission

1. Register and log in

• Register as an Author at journal.uny.ac.id/index.php/jeatech, or log in if you already have an account.

2. Complete the online submission

1. Start: choose the section (Articles), confirm the submission requirements, and add comments for the editor if needed.
2. Upload: the anonymised manuscript as “Article Text”, the title page, and any supplementary files.
3. Metadata: enter the title, abstract, and keywords exactly as in the manuscript, and add all co-authors with full names, affiliations, countries, emails, and ORCID iDs. Add the references in the references field.
4. Confirm and finish: check everything, then click “Finish Submission”. You will receive an acknowledgement email.

3. Fees

JEATech charges no submission fee and no publication fee. See the Author Fees page.

Part C. After Submission

Appeals

Authors who believe a decision was based on a factual error may appeal to the Editor-in-Chief within 30 days, giving specific reasons. See the Peer Review Process page.
