Article Structure

Essential title page information

Title

The manuscript title should be accurate, informative, unambiguous, and specific. It should ultimately identify the paper's central issue. Indexing and abstracting services depend on the title's accuracy to extract keywords properly in cross-referencing and computer searching. An improperly titled article will not reach the intended audience, so it is crucial to be specific.

Author names and affiliations

Author names should not contain academic titles, official ranks, or professional positions. Please clearly indicate each author's first name(s) and last/family name(s) -full name if possible- and ensure that all names are spelled accurately. Below are the names, including the department/unit name, faculty (if applicable), institution/university name, complete postal address, and the country of each author's affiliation. List the authors' contributions in order of importance.

Corresponding author

Please indicate the corresponding author responsible for all pre-publication, refereeing, and post-publication stages. This responsibility includes answering any future queries about methodology and materials. Please ensure that the email address is provided and the contact details are kept up to date by the corresponding author.

Abstract

The Abstract should be 150 to 250 words in length. An unstructured abstract should be provided. Standard nomenclature should be used, and abbreviations should be avoided. No literature should be cited. The abstract should be informative and self-explanatory, clearly state the problem and the proposed approach or solution, and point out significant findings and conclusions.

Keywords

The keyword list provides the opportunity to add keywords, used by the indexing and abstracting services, in addition to those already present in the title. Judicious use of keywords may increase the ease with which interested parties can locate our article. Maximum 5-6 keywords.

Research article structure

The manuscript should begin with a title, author information, abstract, and keyword(s) followed by the main text. The main text should contain at least an IMRDC structure, except for the review article: Introduction, Material and Methods, Result, Discussion, and Conclusion, followed by acknowledgment (optional), declarations, references, and nomenclature.

Introduction

The Introduction should provide a transparent background, a clear statement of the problem, the relevant literature on the subject, the proposed approach or solution, the new value of research, and end with the purpose of the study.

Material and Methods

Explaining research chronologically, including research design, research procedure (in the form of algorithms, Pseudocode, or other), how to test, and data acquisition. Provide sufficient details to allow the work to be reproduced by an independent researcher. References should support the description of the course of research so the explanation can be accepted scientifically. If quoting directly from a previously published method, use quotation marks and cite the source. Any modifications to existing methods should also be described.

Results and Discussion

This section should objectively describe the research's results and purposes. The results can be presented in figures, graphs, tables, and other formats that make the reader understand them easily. The discussion can be divided into several sub-chapters.

• Figures:
  • • All figures appearing in the article must be numbered in the order they appear in the text.
      Each figure must have a caption that thoroughly explains the content.
    • Figure captions are presented as paragraphs starting with the figure number, e.g., Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.
    • Figure captions appear below the figure.
    • Each figure must be fully cited if taken from another article.
    • All figures must be referred to in the body of the article.
• Tables:
  • • Tabular material must appear in a numbered captioned table.
    • All tables appearing in the article must be numbered in the order they appear in the text.
    • Each table must have a caption fully explaining the content and the table number, e.g., Table 1, Table 2, etc.
    • Each column must have a clear and concise heading.
    • Tables are to be presented with a single horizontal line under the table caption, the column headings, and at the end of the table.
    • All tables must be referred to in the body of the article.
    • Each table must be fully cited if taken from another article.

Conclusion

The conclusion contains a description that should answer the objectives of the research. Provide a clear and concise conclusion. Do not repeat the Abstract or simply describe the results of the research. Give a clear explanation regarding the possible application and/or suggestions related to the research findings.

Literature review structure

Introduction

The introduction should be included to explain the background of the subject area to the reader. It must have a narrow focus on the relevant source. Therefore, this section must provide appropriate background information on the corresponding source and develop a research question. It also should align with the aim of the review article. The objective was placed at the beginning or end of the paragraph. The aim of the review paper is as follows:

• • Provide an integrated and synthesized overview of the current state-of-the research topic
  • Identify inconsistencies in previous studies and critical explanation
  • Resolve ambiguities definitions and outline the scope of the topic
  • Develop a conceptual framework to reconcile and extend past research
  • Describe research insight, existing gaps for potential future research, and future research direction
  • Evaluate existing methodological approaches and unique insight.

The section should end by explaining why the author(s) have written the paper and how they have dealt with the subject area

Relevant Body

The body of the article review must be relevant to the source of literature. It also has a unique structure that involves a comprehensive, prospective, and synthesis summary of appropriate literature by compiling the specific research question, hypotheses, substantive domain, theoretical approach, or methodology, combining the results of previous studies, and then making a critical evaluation. Thus, it provides readers with new insight based on a systematic comparison of multiple studies, and demonstrates a state-of-the-art understanding of the research topic, rather than simply be a “book report” that describes past research

Conclusion

The conclusion of the review article is similar to the experimental article that should answer the research objectives. Provide a clear and concise conclusion. Do not repeat the abstract or describe the research results. Give a clear explanation regarding the implication of the finding, possible application, and/or suggestions related to the research findings.  The end of the paragraph must justify the research question identified in the introduction.

Acknowledgements and Declarations

Acknowledgments

Collate acknowledgments in a separate section at the end of the article before the references. Do not include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title, or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during manuscript preparation (e.g., language editing, writing assistance proofreading the article, etc.).

Declarations

Author's contributions

For each author of your manuscript, please indicate the types of contributions the author has made.

Funding statement

J-HyTEL requires authors to specify any funding sources (institutional, private, and corporate financial support) for the work reported in their paper. This information, such as the name of the funding organisation/s and the grant number, should be included at the end of the article under the heading ‘Funding’ and provided when submitting the paper. If there was no funding, the following wording should be used: “This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.” (NB: this does not apply to protocols). Any materials suppliers should be named, and their location (town, state/county, country) should be included if appropriate. This information will be included in the published article.

Competing interest

All authors must declare interest before an article can be reviewed and accepted for publication.

References

The references are in IEEE referencing style. Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). The main references are international journals and proceedings. All references should be to the most pertinent and up-to-date sources (50% of references must be from the past 4 years). 

The IEEE citation style itself is strict on formatting, and it is recommended to use reference management tools like Mendeley Reference Manager for accurate formatting. Each reference should include details like the author's initials, last name, article title, journal name (abbreviated), volume, issue, page range, and DOI (if available)​

In-text Citing   It is unnecessary to mention an author's name, pages used or publication date in the in-text citation. Instead, refer to the source with a number in a square bracket, e.g. [1], corresponding to the full citation in your reference list.

• Place bracketed citations within the line of text, before any punctuation, with a space before the first bracket.
• Number your sources as you cite them in the paper. Once you have referred to a source and given it a number, continue to use that number as you cite that source throughout the paper.
• When citing multiple sources at once, the preferred method is to list each number separately, in its own brackets, using a comma or dash between numbers, as such: [1], [3], [5] or [1] - [5].
• NOTE: Use “et al.” when three or more names are given for a reference cited in the text.

The examples below are from the IEEE Reference Guide.

Examples of in-text citations:

"...end of the line for my research [13]."
"This theory was first put forward in 1987 [1]."
"Scholtz [2] has argued that..."
"Brown and Jones [5] have..."
"Wood et al. [7] have..."
"Several recent studies [3], [4], [15], [16] have suggested that...."
"For example, see [7]."

In IEEE format, DOI references are presented without the http or https prefix, formatted simply as DOI: 10.xxxx/xxxxxx. However, including the full link format (e.g., https://doi.org/10.xxxx/xxxxxx) is also acceptable and can enhance accessibility by allowing readers to directly access the link.
